Personal Information

Ronald Vernie Dellums was born on 24 November 1935 in Oakland, California.  Dellums’ parents were Willa Terry Dellums (mother) and Vernie Dellums (father). His mother was  a labour organizer and his father a longshoreman. 

Jennifer Davis, stalwart champion of majority rule in South Africa and leader in the anti-apartheid movement in the United States, died on October 15 in Montclair, NJ, surrounded by her family. She was 85. Her love, curiosity, honesty, and insistent focus on building movements to fight for social justice influenced and inspired countless activists and organizers.

Rondevlei Nature Reserve lies in Grassy Park, which makes it sound like a rather large grassy area when in fact the nature reserve is anything but. Rather, it forms part of a far greater body of water just north of Baden Powell Drive on the False Bay coastline, between Muizenberg and Strandfontein. But you reach its entrance via the suburb of Grassy Park. Rondevlei has some of the most spectacular views. Close to the sea here, you are surrounded by water with clear views of the range of mountains that dominate the southern suburbs of Cape Town.
