African Grandmothers Siphiwe Hlophe and Mama Darlina come to Hamilton!  Siphiwe Hlophe, executive director of SWAPOL and the power behind the first ever African Grandmothers Gathering delighted members of Grandmothers of Steel by coming to Hamilton for a day of interviews with the media at my farm and at Baranga’s on the Beach.  She brought with her Mama Darlina from Cape Town, with her unforgettable way of making the whole group break out into song, and Joanna Henry from the SLF, coordinator of the grandmothers campaign. After doing interviews through the day, these two powerful speakers came to our pot luck supper and inspired us with messages from the heart.  We’ll long remember their visit and keep the memory of their presence alive through all our future work.
