Hi people, Just wanted to tell our South African members that Nelson Mandela's visit here has totally upstaged the Olympics ( sent it right off the front page). Just watched some footage where he made an unexpected visit to the South African team in the Olympic visit and the looks on the athletes' faces showed that such a visit was worth more than any gold medal. (I cannot think of any Australian politician that would have that effect!) The press were more interested in Mandela than the arrival of the president of the IOC. Your 'in-the-country-if-not-on-the-spot' reporter Barbara PS - Spending much of today in the freezing cold wind with our senior kids who will perform for 1 min 47 secs at the Torch Relay Celebration.
