Final Weekend - Monday evening over pizza
The water was off throughout Soweto when we entered Mama Josephine's B&B. We were tired, mostly from the emotion of the day, and the realization that the trip was coming to an end. Over a glass of wine we got Mama Josephine talking. She runs a resturant, and shebeen (speakeasy), Turns out she was the first licensed shebeen in Soweto. It was an experiment, one which was mostly successful. it slowed the police raids, and allowed them to keep their liquor supply. If I understood correctly, her husband David, delievered beer to other shebeens.
Eventually we got hungry. It was after dark, the car was three blocks away, and we needed to be escorted out after dark. We tried to order in pizza, but the deliever car was out of service. Finally Josephine's husband and I went to fetch the pizza. We first stopped by the resturant and shebeen. Although it appears to be another pool hall (two tables), it was rich in history.
Josephine, David, and a couple of neighboring relatives joined us over pizza.
