Confession

I've always wanted to visit the Cape, especially Robben Island. It's all thanks to the Journalism department of the Tshwane University of Technology for turning my dream into reality.

When one of my cousins siggested that I move from a college I was studying at in 2006, to study at TUT I was not all for it, but I don't have regrets about studying at TUT after the trip. It was a life time experience. Travelling more than 18 hours by bus wasn't what I had expected but I'm grateful that I've made to the Western Cape.

Stepping into Sikhululekile, the ship that sailed us to Robben Island, I felt different it was as dough my life would be new againg. Setting my feet on Robben Island was something else. I coud imagine the lives of the prisoners. The smell of the place draws th epicture of the daily proceedings of the past. But there is one that leaves me puzzled up to this day. I think that renovating Robben Island takes away the real feeling of the place. When I walked into Section D, one of the prisoner cells, it had no life at all except for the blankets that were used by the prisoners, they lighten it up. Mandela's cell is so new that you would think it was recently built.

The V&A Waterfront is beauty, camps bay was just wonderful and parliament offered more than just academic knowldge. Well, I cant say much about LA Reference it was just what I needed at the time, great stuff.
