Stellenbosch University


To utterly contrast our morning and afternoon at District Six and the beach, we went to Stellenbosch (Linda and Sheila came along) and met with Stellenbosch University professor Robert Vosloo, a progressive Afrikaaner. He brought us to Boschendal Vineyard, where we had a taste of Afrikaaner life and wine, and discussed some of the debates among university students. There was such an incredible contrast between the township slums and the wealth and prestige of the university and the wineries in Stellenbosch!
