No, he was not close to us, he was on the footpath.  And then we told him we are chanting because we are happy.  The big man has been released.  By the big man I am referring to Mr Nelson Mandela.  Then he asked us "Who is this Mandela?"  and then we tried to elaborate to him who is he.  Then he told us it is his first time to hear such name being announced in his place, so he don't appreciate hearing such things because he is not a politician, he is not a comrade.  We just gave him a passing glance and thought that maybe he is disturbed.  The next day when we held another meeting again, he came back again saying "Oh, it's that meeting again" so we told him what we are doing does not concern him, then he said "I think I'll be hearing for the last time, because I don't appreciate the idea of comrades chanting when we are asleep".
