Today is Human Rights day and for many South Africans, the day will always remain Sharpeville Day, a commemoration of the 21 March 1960 Sharpeville massacre, when the police mowed down 69 unarmed people and injured 180 others who refused to carry the hated dompas identity document. The day, sometimes also referred to as Heroes' Day, was a watershed in the country's liberation struggle, hence its inclusion in South Africa's post-apartheid holiday calendar. Today is also day 10 for us, obviously nothing compared to Human Rights Day and I'm not taking anything away from it. To celebrate Human Rights Day, we started with a nice late sleep in and then our old faithful sugarless coffee and toast. I made it through lunch purely because I replaced the repulsive evil "fruit" with a tomato soup. We ended off the day with an incredibly exciting ham and green salad. We have both vowed not to have ham for a very very very long time. Or boiled eggs.
