You’ve sacrificed a lot, yet you never give up. You’ve sacrificed hugs, kisses and handshakes, yet you stay in touch. You gave up your weddings, but don’t stop loving. You gave up traditions but never forgetting who you are.
We salute YOU, as through every sacrifice you have shown what it means to be South African.
