History through bulletproof glass

Austin and I visited the Apartheid Museum on Wednesday of last week. On display was a Casspir, a landmine protected personnel carrier originally designed for South Africa’s military, but used extensively during the late 80s and early 90s in the bloody years leading up to the end of apartheid.

    The apartheid museum is some place, non?

    It was fascinating. We’re going again sometime before I leave! Too much to see in one visit.
