Mama Rudkin

No, I didn’t make it up.  Irony is really failing me (if it hadn’t already).

From Dame Bryony Rudkin’s very own account of her trip to sunny South Africa:

On our last day in Soweto, on being told by my colleagues that I was an elected councillor, a street trader at once referred to me as “mama” – a term of great respect. What I learnt in South Africa was how that respect can be earned. I’m left with a profound sense of gratitude. Ngiyabonga kakulu.

I really can add no more.
