After my trip to Johannesburg from Thursday to Monday and my tour this weekend after I arrived back in Mathabatha "beautiful" Mangweni. But
from front: Last week Thursday morning I'm broken up with about 1.5 hours late because the bus was probably stopped at the border of Mozambique, South Africa, from Johannesburg to Malelane. The WAY it was rather uneventful. In Johannesburg, I then got picked up by Marcel and the other two football colleagues, Asad and Sid from Central Park
station. From there we went on the shortest way to the nearest park and ride space. At this point, I must then multiply by the South African Honorable mention organizational ability, which has managed to hide themselves so well to this point before me! We were then so with a "Taxi" (I think everyone knows yet what a taxi is usually here!?) From the parking lot down to the stadium. On the way I've still a South bought flag to my "Bafana Bafana" close Fanoutfit perfect, a more accurate 
game description I will now out here and lay hold of me just as I have in school always "busy" doing have as much as necessary as little as possible (not angry dad): atmosphere was great, South Africa has played better, Brazil won 1-0, Sid was happy and not an election year, all South Africans. It was a great experience. Who wants a further description, I recommend the blog of Marcel and read Danine 
( http://danineundmarcelunterwegs.blogspot.com/ ) Marcel has a great written description including tips for those who come to think the World Cup! (Photos Subsequent addition I will, because I myself have not done) The next day, I then spent more or less in the AFS office. There, a "desk" assembled, consist of a door and two I do not know the names of the ... Wooden blocks or so, so very exciting! Then I I even went to the nearest shopping center, yes, for those who do not believe it, you can also risk the shot in Johannesburg without going to.
the evening, we have yet to meet with Connie and Marcel are and to Melville in a bar, too, can survive it! As we have been there then Janice and Yvonne, happened to meet our Weltwärts preparatory group "almost complete again.
Saturday it was only then really nice Touristenprogamm the Apartheid Museum, recommended to all very interesting but also very much and then the tallest building in Africa, the 50th Floor of the Carlton Center, an amazing view of Johannesburg (see photos).
the Sunday I will then get a taste of the work of the "direct" AFS Volunteers, the first time I have with Danine in Backpackers a horde supervised exchange students, which sounds worse than it was in the fall because we spend most time in the garden in the sun-sat, but we have shown presence:). From there we went in "Taxi" with the students to the airport to assist in checking in, even after I'm off a not-because this would go beyond the scope of this entry.
On Monday, I wanted to take nice leisurely at 8:45 my clock back to Malelane. In theory, very beautiful, has to start everything went well, Marcel and I have Danine Before working for the Central Park station brought, I was like a good German early. I just had my bill unfortunately without the reliability or unreliability of the "Translux" - made buses. We went at last about two hours late on in Johannesburg, which still fit into my schedule, but when we shortly after Johannesburg stopped again for about five hours and then continue with a new coach, I was a bit nervous, because yes I still had from Malelane in the wilderness. I did not really want to do at night, because this is not recommended in the countryside and also so take the "taxi" is not the whole night. This is then my luck started in disguise: Even while I was waiting in Johannesburg on the bus, I was talking with an old lady on her way to her son, who has a vegetable farm between Nelspruit and Malelane. After I told her then carried her suitcase to the bus, she had me completely closed to the heart. When they Mitbekam I Malelane not come home on the night she offered me to sleep with her son and family. I then accepted the offer. It was very nice, the family seemed more excited spontaneously a stranded German record for the night. I have very nice dinner with the family and I still talk to the son, all in all a very nice thing. So that my luck but still heard not, the next morning I stood on the main road to a bus or "taxi" to get to Malelane. I have been a short time there, a pickup stopped with a man who asked where I want to go. On the way to Malelane we were talking, he works for a company that trains farmers in sugarcane growing and optimized, it turned out that he drives due Mangweni. He drove me to the exact center. I think these events can be really lucky to call in disguise.
This weekend was a meeting of all "Children of the Dawn" sand in places Mathabatha in the Limpopo Province, in one of the other centers is often associated with "Children he Dawn working together. " The trip was also there again a real adventure, with I think five different "Taxis". It was very interesting and very impressive what they've been building up, from two
now quite old ladies. By its own bakery to own a village bank. On Saturday evening there was a small farewell party with a traditional dance performance, unfortunately, my Internet connection is too slow for uploading the videos. Today we went after breakfast back to Mangweni. Then think even that was now my longest entry.
