| Bihela is a strong young San with heart like an oak. He has good ideas and interestingly good thinking skills. He has the capacity to reason and boldly speak out what is in his chest, something rare in many San people.

He demonstrates a good example to those of us who have not reached there to become more like him. Job Morris |
