A while back I wrote a post about my experiences in South
Africa and someone identified simply as “unknown” posted a very kind comment to
which I responded enthusiastically. Today that person identified himself as
Ivor Sarakinsky, a scholar who now teaches at the University of the
Witwatersrand. Curious, I googled his name and came up with a video of him
being interviewed on recent events in South African politics. This was quite
gratifying but there was something strangely wrong with the video. It was of a
bearded middle-aged man and I’m quite sure that none of the students I taught
34 years ago in South Africa were bearded middle-aged men! I am afraid I am
having another one of those Mr. Chips moments.
