 Parliament. By the time the first democratic election took place on April 27 1994, Sindiso was the only Black person at senior management level. He was in Parliament to witness the first address of the new President, Nelson Mandela, as well as the special addresses of numerous international heads of state, including the Queen of England, Bill Clinton, Yasser Arafat, and Fidel Castro.
In June 1997, Sindiso was the first Black person to ever be appointed Full Secretary to Parliament in South Africa. In his first year he achieved the ANC target of having an equal balance of 50 percent men and women and an 80:20 percent ratio of Black to White staff. He was also responsible for deciding on the type of Parliament which would serve the new South Africa, borrowing certain traditions from the Westminster system, but remaining loyal to an African sense of ownership and identity. He was also responsible for insourcing the parliamentary catering staff. Sindiso remained a Parliamentary employee until 2004, and in 2006 he received an award for meritorious service from the South African Legislatures Secretaries Association.
Sindiso’s one major regret about the transition to democracy, is the way that the national education portfolio was handled. To Sindiso’s mind, it was the unfortunate circumstance of having vastly experienced former exiles overlooked in favour of ambitious, young domestic members of the ANC when appointing staff to senior governmental posts in education that set this process in motion. Whilst there was a need to satisfy the various levels of struggle participation, this sometimes resulted in the best candidates being pushed aside to make way for the “inziles” who had never left.

Diplomacy
After leaving Parliament, Sindiso went to the Minister of Foreign Affairs who was, at the time, Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, and requested a diplomatic post, preferably on the continent. Luckily for him, a position had just opened up in Tanzania. He was the third South African ambassador to the country (like most African countries, Tanzania did not have diplomatic relations with Apartheid South Africa).
In 2007 Sindiso returned to South Africa for the ANC’s annual conference in Polokwane. To his dismay, the ANC he saw on display was much changed from the one he had dedicated his life to. Moreover, he was exposed to alarming stories from his comrades about their treatment at the hands of the ANC youth. It was following this experience that he became one one of the founding members of the ANC Veteran’s League, a place where the veteran’s could hold their own meetings and not “be insulted and disregarded.” [iv]
In 2017 Sindiso submitted the manuscript of his biography, “Walking with Giants” to SAHO for publication, and the book can be purchased on the SAHO website by visiting our online shop here.

Philip Armstrong, Chief Executive Officer, Jovian Capital Corporation, |||PHONE_NUMBER|||.Genlocks a good show that I feel really rushes a lot. Hopefully that's just a volume 1 thing and it starts to take its time more next season. 

Things like the villains really need more exploration since the Union are kinda terrible villains and Nemesis never did it for me beyond being a cool mech. He's an effective threat but feels like an obstacle to overcome and so doesn't really come close to RTs greats. 

I also think it has an incredibly cheap dramatic point in this volume that I hope they improve on later. But that's really the only dud moment and while I didn't love the rest there was nothing really bad about it. 

I would like to see them improve the mechs a little though. They feel utterly weightless a lot of the time. It's all over the place. Look at how much worse Canada is overall than droves of third world countries.

You're going to tell me that our lockdown measures is really what saved the day when in Haiti they were just fine living in rusted out shacks with no hospitals? 

I'm seeing virtually zero correlation with government action and outcome for covid.

The scary thing is how fast everyone accepted every measure from day 1, knowing nothing.  Whatever the television would yell at you guys, you would accept without question. Then still not wash your hands anyway when you come home, or exercise to not be fat and die of the 10 000 diseases you get from being fat.In the USC Slave I, I remember. Longer ago than I thought.
No printed arms on Bobba.
Depends on what TLJ or the Han Solo film throw up really. If any major characters with a reasonably simple bodyshape and head style pop up and aren't one offs then TLG can get some use out of the moulds and use them in other sets, including BPs.
Very nice job, you've got the squashed, stretched look spot on. Have any pictures released or leaked so far shown an interior? Or are you making your own guess?
Well we have been doing for years, every year an unlabelled or unreleased 'big' set will be Cloud City... Right up until the point it's revealed to be another X-Wing.
I leave for two measly years and come back to find they're releasing a new UCS Millenium Falcon! Apparently hell does freeze over. I'm going to miss the threads of people making the old one from Bricklink though. But, another Landspeeder, Y-Wing, Republic Tank, Vader Transformation? We must have five or six Landspeeders by now, possibly more Y-Wings. Star Wars really isn't short of new vehicles they could have used.
I still don't know what to think of him.
Odd. I may have to try watch the series now.
I liked it and it felt like a satisfying conclusion, it just felt there was something missing. A replacement second Osgood? Bonny changed her mind quickly. Hehe, I love the mind wiping tech in the Black Archive. The boxes were empty? Not really a surprise knowing how the Doctor operates. Talking of how he operates I got a serious 7 vibe from him here. As in he's already planned the downfall of the enemy before he's even arrived on the scene. 'Five rounds rapped', it's ice to see someone who understands that shooting an alien in the head is sometimes necessary. Jenna Coleman is normally an average actor but I feel she wasn't really trying in this two parter. Clara felt weaker than usual and Bonny acted like a child and not like the Commander she was meant to be. Didn't the plane have other occupants? A crew? Why does the fact that the Zygons have spaceships never come up? I mean the ones on Earth now don't, but the Zygons currently in space do, just ring 'em up. Harry Sullivan is an imbecile. Better than the first and third two parter but not as good as the second.
I'm really enjoying this show now. As soon as Tarkin popped up last series this show has been fantastic without a dud episode since then. I really like the new Inquisitors as well and the petty power plays between them and Kalus/Constantine.
Fitz really shone in this episode.
That reminds me, is Gotham back on again?
Yeah, it's the TIE Advanced from 'Rebels' not any of the films. The wings on this version do fold when landed, I think anyway.
Not my favourite, not with just one episode, but he was fantastic.
I think she only chose Clara because Clare is the current one and the only one in 2015 that she personally knows. Still, being random for no reason is well within character for the Master (Ainly and Simm especially).
I could't see how the Daleks would have been able to destroy the TARDIS in the first place so that wasn't a problem. Also the Master was going to betray them from the start, goodness knows why 12 brought her along. I don't think I posted my thoughts for the first episode though, it was longer.
Funny, I thought it was batter than the first part.
It's canon with one 'n'. Also, they aren't the same A-Wings from RotJ any-more than the X-Wings from ANH
