I was there in a lecture theatre in #UCT Upper Campus, in 1999, and I voted to merge the #SouthAfrican #DemocraticParty into the #NationalParty. I listened to #JamesSelfe, of blessed and lamented recent memory, argue against it, and I remember his huge and gracious smile when he lost the argument at the vote.

I remember talking to Ma Baker from #Ottery. I remember marvelling how the DP was channeling the hopes of working class activists who saw how their tough leverage could change things in the Western Cape.

I remember my wife Julia, a DP grey eminence no matter what she might have thought of that idea, readying the new #DemocraticAlliance for their first governments. Had she lived? No idea, so many might-have-beens.

I miss those days, and how I wish things had worked out differently. I FAFO, I freely admit.
