South Africa 2015

Arrival & the Limpopo Newsroom

I arrived in Johannesburg, South Africa on Sunday, May 24, 2015 to the smiling faces of Ronel Welman and Emmie van Zyl who greeted me at the airport after a 10-hour flight. After some coffee and breakfast, we hopped in the car (driving on the OTHER side of the road) for the five-hour ride north to the Limpopo region.
