In announcing the death of Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, South Africa’s President, Jacob Zuma, said that Mandela had ‘departed’. As though we had been visited, and that visit is now over.
Mandela, a departed presence that for long will linger. What it is hoped will linger are the beliefs Nelson Mandela’s life embodied, beliefs lived-by through action.

Previously I wrote, and worked in, the areas of public space, children and teenagers play, issues to do with risk in play and related areas. Articles on these and related topics can be found at www.playlink.org, and earlier posts to this site (pre-2017).
However, I’ve had a long-term interest in Palestine/Israel (P/I) issues, most recently visiting the OPT in particular in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2022. This blog now focuses on P/I issues, though I may, if so moved, discuss other matters as well.
