SOUTH AFRICAN DIPLOMATS REMEMBER: Rome Letter 1940

Let's keep Tom's legacy alive

When Tom and his former DFA colleagues, Pieter Wolvaardt and Werner Scholtz realized that many of the stories of those who had served in the old South African Department of Foreign Affairs were being lost, the three solicited and complied many of those account into a trilogy of books. These were published under the title From Verwoerd to Mandela: South African Diplomats Remember (March 2011).

It was an attempt to get more of these stories preserved and made available to a wider audience that was the inspiration behind this blog.

It was a joint effort: Tom found material; I scanned documents into readable files; Tom cleaned them up and then sent on to “Tom’s Techie,” Geoff van Heerden, for uploading onto the site.

Now, you must send your own stories and keep the conversation going. Each account adds another piece to the picture, making it richer and more nuanced.
