It has been cold in recent days. Yes, it is winter, but cold and i don't agree... on anything. And sometimes when it is colder inside the house than out, I wonder what is going on.
And for this reason when i go to Soweto in the winter, I go for warmth. A skirt cuz i am a gogo (grandma/older woman) and a mamfundis (pastor's wife) but then i layer. Tights underneath, shorts also if it is really cold. 2 pair of socks, t-shirt, turtle neck, sweater, then a fuzzy jacket and a hooded windbreaker. Top this with a scarf, gloves, and when it is really cold a small blanket wrapped around my legs. This blanket is universal attire for women in Soweto. Women carrying babies on their back also have a large, very heavy blanket held in front covering their baby.
When i asked my daughter to take my picture, she said WHY? who knows? Maybe you needed a laugh today.
