Special Report Transcript Episode 86, Section 4, Time 35:07

I think in some ways it’s not so bad for my family as some of the years in the Black Sash were. It wasn’t very nice for boys at school to have their mother standing out on the street carrying a black board. As they grew older they accepted it much more and I have leaned on their support enormously. I know I’m very lucky. When I come home from the Commission I have a supportive husband, whose been supportive all the way through in spite of all the things that happened in the Black Sash. I have four sons who all live here in Cape Town, who we see often and they see each other often. Three of them are married and one of them has a child who is a great joy to us. And you can’t really bring home all that stress to that kind of environment. You just leave it behind. My parents live in Brazil. I was there this past Christmas with my grandchild, we introduced him to his great grandparents and they come here as often as that’s possible for them too. Especially in recent years over family weddings. So that’s a very important part of my life, is that association with my parents.
