In January 2011, I filmed Hemayel Martina on two occasions. In each video, he gave a personal message in Papiamentu (the language of Curaçao). He chose the version he preferred, which was the second take, titled it "Message from South Africa," and uploaded it on January 14th to www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6pMo8WHNME
Unfortunately, there was an error with the upload. The audio cuts out at around the 40 second mark. The following 1 minute and 50 seconds are silent.
If I had the original video file of the version he preferred, I'd upload it. But I don't have it.
Luckily however, I do have his "first take," which we filmed on January 11th. It is that "first take" of his personal message that is this video, which I've titled, "Hemayel Martina's personal message, January 11th, 2011, from Durban, South Africa, take 1."
Hemayel died approximately 18 days after this video was filmed.
