Think of your forefathers.


FRIDAY marks a historic day for the Indian community in South Africa. For it was on November 16, 1860, that our forefathers landed at Addington Beach, Durban, as indentured labourers, 147 years ago.

If these people did not take the effort to leave their mother country and go to a country (South Africa) which they wouldn't have even heard about before I wouldn't have been in this position. I thank all my forefathers who came to South Africa and toiled themselves in the Sugarcane Plantation and gave their future generations this luxurious life. So all South African Indians on this day please think of your forefathers.
