Yesterday there was a meeting with all the political parties.
The first point on the programme was the national hymn. I was expecting a tape but all people started singing together, nicely, gracefully, it was enjoyable.
Also the meeting was not bad, people were asking for tolerance when disruptions were about to start and the tone of the interventions was quite considered.
It brought to my mind another national chant, at the University of Cape Town in 1994, before the election of Mandela, Nkosi Sikelele Afrika, a moving song, an intense moment.
