There are many destination
vacations, but in my opinion
few offer the richness of an experience
in South Africa. Years
ago, I visited several townships
and areas in and around Pretoria
and Johannesburg. I was
there as part of a missionary
group. But it wasn’t all work.
I had a chance to see the landscape
of the area while stopping
in Soweto to tour the Mandela
Museum. I also went to an open
market called “the zoo,” where
cultural items such as masks,
native jewelry, dolls, furniture
and other trinkets are sold to
tourists.
I also saw the beauty of
Church Square, a park area in
Pretoria surrounded by government
buildings, including the
court where Nelson Mandela
was convicted.
One day, I plan to return to
see more of the country.
Until then, I was happy that
writer Stephen G. Henderson
offered up a story about South
Africa to UniSun.
Henderson, who is quite the
world traveler, writes about
what you might want to see in
Johannesburg and Cape Town.
His trip also included a safari to
Phinda, which is where many
tourists go to see what that
country calls “the Big Five” –
lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos
and rhinos.
