On the first day of school my teacher, Miss Mdingane, gave each of us an English name. This was the custom among Africans in those days and was undoubtedly due to the British bias of our education. That day, Miss Mdingane told me that my new name was Nelson. Why this particular name I have no idea.
You know, I do not feel like such a political (official). If there is a order, from the leadership of our country, to defend Russia, we are all compelled. I am an officer, and consider myself a warrior, and so to fight for Russia for me is an honor.
