Toyi-Toying in New York

Friday I helped a group of other South Africans organize the South African Cultural Hour at IHouse. Thee have been a number of these (French, America, Greek-Iranian) and ours was the last. And the most chaotic. The group broke into infighting at the least slight. Responsibilities shifted, food didn't come, music was there and then wasn't. And despite everything, it was a big success. There were lots of South Africans in the audience and at some stage they were all singing Shosholoza on the stage, and then later fiercely toyi-toying.
