@NadiaDavids9 @KumaloProf@NGoetham As this was a resource of national&continental memory, hopefully those across the nation & beyond who have benefited from the resource can contribute in whatever way is most appropriate & possible. Within 24 hours of the Notre Dame fire, people rallied. Let's try here too!
“the govt. is moving all Africans to Nyanga. All?? Obviously the govt. didn't know what it was talking about.
Then one day the rumor, all grown, bearded, armed with the stamp of govt. returned with no smile. It had learnt to bury its humor when dealing with the African problem."
@NadiaDavids9 @KumaloProf@NGoetham Please let us know when the time is right how we can contribute to rebuilding. There will be alumni with the will and means to contribute — and many others who have used the amazing Jagger reading room. The Notre Dame is rising from the ashes. Pray this special resource can too.
