Ah, Sister Mitza, I remember Nelspruit well. The stench of the paper mill wafting over the town in the early morning was an absolute delight. The prison was one of my favorite places to visit. I can remember way back in 1985, while I was there, visiting, ministering to all the youthful delinquents that had been detained for spear chucking and also having the cheek to accuse the government of being brutal and oppressive.
It was also the year that saw the Australian XI rugby team visit the area. There are many stories I could tell you of that time, but they will have to wait.
