That City Of Love

There's a personal story behind this 1½-minute music video. Shortly before my wife Mirjam died, she requested that the Church's Youth Choir should sing this song at her memorial service. However, Peter was in Vancouver -- on the other side of the world. Phakamile was in the hills of Zululand -- we didn't succeed in tracking her down in time. Ester was on the plateau in the Eastern Cape -- it took us a few days to make contact, then she made the arduous journey back to town. Itai and Francis, however, were nearby. So it was three members of the choir who sang In That City Of Love at Mirjam's memorial service. There was a reason why she wanted this choir. She said that these young people taught her to love Africa. She appears in the last photo in the sequence.
