I was thinking about how to celebrate Freedom Day (tomorrow) when I remembered this, and I scratched around for them. And found a most enormous pile of newspaper clippings, starting from about 1992! What an exciting find! Thank the Lord for my mother!
I've been going through them, and here are some classics:
The 1992 referendum.
Apartheid is over! (March 1992, after the referendum)
Voter info, 1993.
Beans and candles, remember? :)
That day, 27 April 1994. Look at the queue of people waiting to vote.
Down with the old flag, up with the new.And finally, for good measure:
Winnie's hat!If I find more good ones I'll upload them later. What a trip down memory lane! It really made me remember how exciting it all was.

Wow - that brings back memories. You are so lucky to have them. Haha - I remember the stockpiling! I think my dad still had candles and baked beans in his cupboard when he died last year!
What a lovely post, Laurie. Please find some more and post them, I definitely haven't kept any newspaper clippings from important times in our history.
Nice one. Thanks. :)
Melita!
Why can't I see your blogger profile? Do you have a blog?? :)
I actually have a whole pile of these at home. I need to do something to sort and preserve them, but I'm not sure exactly what...
