De
Klerk's Murder is an Indictment, says Winnie Mandela
The murder of former first lady Marike de Klerk was an
indictment on the country, and a sign that all should become
involved in the fight against crime, African National Congress
Women's League president Winnie Madikizela-Mandela said on
Saturday.
"It is a tragedy that a woman who has contributed so much to the
history of our country should have left us in such a tragic
manner," she told reporters after attending a memorial service
for De Klerk at the Wapadrant Gereformeerde Kerk in Pretoria.

Black folklore of juke joints, back porches
"Negro folklore,'' Zora Neale Hurston once observed, "is not a
thing of the past. It is still in the making.''
So these are stories grandmothers tell grandbabies, tales passed
from fathers to sons and on to their sons. Made and remade on
front stoops, at family gatherings and in barbershops, folklore
offers an interpretation and understanding of things not easily
understood -- racism, faith, nature, slavery.
