Extracts from my diary

Hillbrow, Johannesburg Thursday 26th December 1963
 After lunch today we sat on the stoep with drinks and relaxing, when a crowd of Zulus came running round the corner of the street from the direction of the main street chasing a Basuto. They chased him round the cars below and then, right outside the front of our block of flats they caught up with him and started stabbing him with their assegais. He managed to escape and went running down the hill with all of them after him. Thank goodness we are on the 4th floor. It’s time we returned to England.
