Human rights at war
Tymostchuk, Tamara.
to help our brothers and sisters.
My life went on and I studied sociology at Oxford University. I studied because I love the subject and I thought that it would help me in the cause that we were fighting for. When I graduated, with the best average in all UK, I got a job at UNICEF to work for Africa. I really enjoyed those years there, it was really great. I had a really great staff working with me. We travelled all over Africa helping poor children. This was when I came back to my mother land, trying to help to bring the Apartheid to an end. I remember the first time I met my mother again. It was a great time, we started crying, and she began talking to me about everything that had happened.
She told me that my father had met a man in Victor Verster prison, who was one of the leaders of the cause, his name was Nelson Mandela, and my father thought that he would be the man who was going to save us and finish the civil war. In 1990 Frederick de Klerk removed Nelson out of jail. Since 1993 we had a civil war against the Zulu Movement until yesterday, 29 April 1994, that we finally got a black president, who represents all South African population.
