Jenny O'Brien Rands (before 2022)
First of all a big thank you to you and others who have kept these connections going.
I am happily living in the southern part of the beautiful city of Cape Town.
I moved here a few years after my husband died after spending most of my adult life in Johannesburg - also a beautiful city !
My only son lives in the US and is married with a little boy - so I have an American grandson. I had been looking forward to sharing the joys of this part of the world with them during 2020 - but like so many plans in so many parts of the world those had to be cancelled.
As in many parts of the world this pandemic has not only highlighted but also exacerbated the dreadful inequality in our society. Apart from all the many ways in which ordinary people are trying to help I think most of us are hoping our president, Cyril Ramaphosa, will be successful in his fight back against corruption which has plagued our country.
I do hope that one of these years (if not sooner) we will all be able to travel again - but until then am so grateful to be able to keep in touch electronically.
And to be safe and well.
All the best
