Something interesting, perhaps trivial, maybe poignant, that I thought I would share.

On reading my Cape Argus every weekday morning I think of our iconic leader Nelson Mandela.

On turning to page 2 of the paper I carefully fold the page over, run my fingers down the inside edge of the paper, making sure to carefully align the page with the rest of the paper.

On an early morning interview on television, I watched as Mandela did just that!

Funny how small things that stay with you forever, make you remember someone important forever.
