Meet my Bodyguard

Today I joined the Read Educational Trust for the Nedbank Readathon 2009. They aim to develop the culture of reading in South Africa. At the prize giving ceremony I met Baby Jake Matlala for the second time in my life. After an illustrious boxing career, Baby Jake retired in 2002 still holding his WBU junior flyweight title. In today's photo you can see the size difference of Baby Jake with Big Boy me. He is a little man with a big heart as he is the Read Foundation’s spokesperson. Later on Matthew and I are going to watch John Ellis from Tree63 play at the ReGeneration Tour.
