And I mean, my grandmother used to tell stories about the people used to go to their house, like Mandela, Sobuko, and all of those people that, you know, they'd be there with him. And, but one day-

They received a letter, actually a copy of the letter, from the Minister of Home Affairs of Lesotho, basically saying that they have received word that his continued presence in Lesotho presents an imminent danger to the safety and security of Lesotho, and therefore they're giving him 24 hours to leave the country.

And eventually, you know, about a year or two later, he dies. And so my father, this is what I'm saying, this is my favorite story about my father. So my father then becomes a traffic cop, like in the 80s. becomes a cop, a traffic cop, and he gets called to the head offices of Mdata. You know, it's Transkeina, another fake country. This is the region where he lives.

So now he is someone that he has no idea has been called there. He goes to the top bosses and they ask him, like, they say, they bring a file. They're like, they open the file. They say, explain yourself. Why is it that every single traffic fine is to a white person. You don't fine any black people. All these fines are just white people. And he says, well, most people who drive cars are white.

So you're saying that black people don't commit traffic offenses? And he would fine them for the tiniest infringement. And basically, he was given a warning that if he continues to be fined, then he quits. So it was his own little rebellion, I think, against the, I think his protest against what happened to his father. Kudos to him. I like that. That's literally the only story that I know of him.
