On Monday morning we got back from the homestay went immediately to 17 Shaft. 17 Shaft is a large old mining compound which has been converted into center where young men and women can learn basic skills like masonry or farming to get jobs. The owner of it who we met at the end had a very Sean Connery-like swagger about him. He told us he was a soldier and smuggler by trade and that he started 17 shaft as an original training and recruitment center for the ANC during the resistance movment. He was definitely a badass now trying to do some good in the world.
After 17 Shaft we took, thanks to traffic, and incredibly long drive to Pretoria, the capitol of South Africa. We went to That’s It guest house which was very nice. They had a pool and nice little bungalow with excellent food.
