📚 Finished reading Rainbow Diary: A journey in the new South Africa by John Malathronas. I’ve had this in my library for years, since meeting the author by chance at work. His recent passing and my return to Johannesburg prompted me to finally read it. It’s an interesting journal of the author’s trip around South Africa in 2005, with enough historical background to give context without disrupting the narrative. I’ve been to South Africa many times for work, but only once ventured beyond the centre of Johannesburg. This book brought to life just how much I’ve been missing out.
