Nomonde receiving a gift

Nomonde, the daughter-in-law of our host father Lizo, was very touched by the gifts we gave her. According to social custom, she served as a domestic in the household, preparing the food and so forth. While Lizo told us about the great percentage of women in South African government, he called out for her to bring him his coffee, reminding us of the phrase "democracy stops at my doorstep" that Dr. Helen Moffett had quoted for us.
