Hier im Bild ist Reverend (Simon?, muss ihn Sonntag nochmal fragen, wenn wir in die Xhosa church von ihm gehen)
Er ist nur halb-tags Pastor und arbeitet sonst normal um seinen Lebensunterhalt zu verdienen. Ich möcht euch hier mal einen Teil seiner Lebensgeschichte kurz erzählen: Er ist auf ner Farm in Eastern Cape aufgewachsen, mit seiner Familie, 1nem Bruder und 2 Schwestern. als er 4 war, konnte ihn seine Mom aber nicht gut versorgen und sein Onkel sagte dann, "gib ihn doch zu mir, zu mindest tagsüber". So ging das den ersten Monat und dann blieb er länger auch über Nacht bei seinem Onkel auf ner anderen Farm very close to his Mom.
Aber plötzlich an einem Tag entschied die Regierung alle schwarzen aus der Gegend zu "clearen" und brachte alle in ein Lager und dann später weiter in eine "Stadt". Sein Onkel und er hatten no chance to get out there first, and as she was then his mom came out with the family also restlchen "gecleared been".
So he lived with his uncle wieterhin, then moved later in ne other country and came to find jobs after NEN Guguletu, Cape Town. Everywhere he rumkam he left his Address and Phone Number to perhaps even to find his family.
A few years ago (after being separated 27 years) then a woman came up to him and said that she had found perhaps sien sister, because a woman had with her her phone number. stored and searched for a man with his past.
So he then directly to Khayelitsha (township next door) down, asked around where the house is added by the woman who asked him anch, and BAM, recovered 27 years after his mother. All his relatives were rounded up ziemlcih quickly and now he has his family back again.
Later in conversation, they found that after the "clear" is actually very close, only a few streets away from each other, had lived for a short time.
Krass, ne?
