so they looked around for someone who is young, cheap, and black to send them to see what was out there. and i was the youngest, cheapest, blackest thing in the office. so out i went. but then south africa is quite a difficult place to navigate if you can't drive, and so i would get lifts from people and i ended up getting a lift with a tv crew who were doing an official account of mandela. they dropped me at a gas station and said there are some others coming through to pick you up and they were mandela's bodyguards. and, frankly, i amused them and made it my business to amuse them. i had been involved in the anti—apartheid movement, i had studied in the soviet union, as had they. they would let me drive around with them. and so i stumbled onto this kind of front row seat and it was the most stunning thing to be around.
