evaluation of the vaal hearings

I think that the interview was very challenging. It was difficult finding someone and actually asking them all those questions. At first it felt weird but then it got okay. It is hard finding someone who would actually allow one to interview him as it might open up some very deep wounds. I had to watch what I say and how I say it. I can’t sound inconsiderate. Some people really went through a rough time. Some lost very dear people. It was much tougher than the audio assignment. Here you had to talk and listen. You couldn’t make any mistakes. With the audio assignment you can record it over and over again but here you can’t. It was a challenge that alhamdulillah I managed to do. Other than that it was a great experience. I learned a lot. I learned how everyone struggled for the freedom that we have today. We get everything on a golden platter yet we always complaining. We are never satisfied with what we have. I hope that one day we can all sit back and be thankful to those who fought and those who died struggling to give us a free live. I thank Mr. Abdullah Sujee for giving us this assignment to do as it really opened up my mind and made me appreciate all the luxuries that I have today. Jazakallah
