Seen at @izikomuseumssa – These labels evoked in me memories of an earlier ‘dangerous time’ when it was not fashionable to be against the government of the day. I ask myself; “What has changed?” Cape Town has the Izikho Museum and Port Elizabeth HAD the Red Location Museum – what is wrong with this picture? It must be said that the Izikho Museum is in the heart of the historical area of Cape Town and a magnet for camera touting foreign tourists. PLUS – an entrance fee of R30.00 is charged making me remark; “We only value THAT which costs us money!” #capetown #alanstraton #mype #slavery #alutacontinua – Taken by the Editor whilst wandering aimlessly about pretending to be in the know.

Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
