And he dedicates the talk to South African leader Nelson Mandela, the human embodiment of that same great-hearted, generous spirit.

PAUL HODGE: NELSON MANDELA PRISON, SOLO AROUND WORLD IN 47 DAYS, Ch 57, Amazing World in Minutes
Chapter 57 is one of 280 Chapters of Paul Hodge's November 14, 2012 video book How to Go Solo Around the World in 47 Days. In addition to being the first ever video book published on YouTube with 280 Chapters,14+ hours of edited, original action video taken by Paul Hodge from all over the world, Paul's book is the first ever on YouTube to provide in-depth coverage and instruction on how to go solo around the world. By providing viewers with such incredibly detailed videos and incisive, fresh commentaries, author Paul Hodge shows what it realistically takes to plan and successfully execute this life changing bucket list achievement. See Video Book's World Adventure Beginning Chapter #1: the Book's Concluding Summary Chapter #280: and Paul's World Commentaries:
Chapter 57 of 280 of Paul Hodge's November, 2012 video book How to Go Solo Around the World in 47 Days chronicles Paul's May 15th, 2012 awesome adventure to Robben Island which is in Table Bay about 4.5 miles off of Cape Town, South Africa. For many years during the apartheid era, the island was used by the South African government as a prison for political prisoners and, sometimes, common criminals/felons. Nelson Mandela spent eighteen years in prison on the island, and the current President of South Africa Jacob Zuma was imprisoned there for ten years. See Video Book Trailer: and Paul's South Africa Commentary:
To gain access to Robben Island, you have to sign up for a tour which takes about three plus hours. Starting at 11:00 am, you take a forty minute ferry ride from Nelson Mandela Gateway in the Cape Town waterfront to Robben Island harbor. After the ferry, you take a one hour plus guided bus tour which usually includes three stops: the isolation facility where antiapartheid leader Robert Sobukwe was imprisoned & the prison guard dogs were billeted, the lime stone quarry where Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners labored in the hot sun and the end of the island which has a view of Cape Town and the African mainland.
After the bus tour, you then have a guided tour of the infamous maximum security prison where Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners were incarcerated and brutalized. This tour is the subject of this video. The tour guide is a former prisoner. The tour of Robben Island prison is extremely moving. One can only marvel, deeply respect and be inspired by Nelson Mandela's unwavering leadership and courage. After enduring eighteen years of incredible brutality and cruelness on Robben Island, Nelson Mandela emerged as a global icon of the triumph of the human spirit. I will always honor the spirit of his observation: There is only one race in South Africa, the human race.
For me and all my fellow citizens, we should follow Nelson Mandela's inspirational lead of reconciliation and forgiveness. Always Remember: THERE IS ONLY ONE RACE IN THE UNITED STATES AND THAT IS THE HUMAN RACE.
Paul is one of the few people in this World to have explored and adventured around our planet three times in four years and twice in the last six months !!
Throughout his June, 2012, 40,000+ mile adventure, Paul penned incisive, compelling commentaries with fresh perspectives on the socio-economic & political challenges facing the diverse nations/cultures he explored. The commentaries will be expanded upon and incorporated in Paul's upcoming book, See Commentaries at:
Paul's June 2012 exploration is his third adventure around our planet. His second solo quest was six months ago ending November, 2011, See Trailer: and his first world exploration was for 7+ months ending July 2008, See Trailer:
This video book is Paul's second to chronicle his solo adventures around our planet. The book is intended to instruct viewers on how to go around the world solo. By providing the viewer with detailed videos and commentary of his recent June, 2012 World adventure, author Paul Hodge shows what it realistically takes to plan and successfully execute this life changing bucket list achievement.

Nyora Steam Tug - Wreck Site Overview
NYORA - Wreck Site, an Overview
A remarkable discovery has been made of a large ocean-going steam tug that was lost 102 years ago next month (July 2019).
The Steam Tug Nyora Sunk about 50 kilometres of Cape Jaffa in South Australia in a severe storm on the 9th of July 1917.
The Nyora was towing an American 4 masted motor sailing ship ‘Astoria’ back to Sydney when the tug got into grief.
The crew of the Nyora tried to right the vessel and slipped the towline to try and save themselves and the ship that they were towing.
Heavy seas smashed in the engine room door and the tug started to sink stern first.
14 lives were lost. 2 crew survived. They clung to and sat on top of a broken lifeboat, pulling a plank of the bottom to row and steer.
At 7.30pm that night the survivors saw the distant light of the Margaret Brock Reef Lighthouse. They paddled and drifted all through the night, and into the morning. They were then spotted by the light keepers.
The light keepers put their lives at risk and rowed through the heavy breakers of the reef to rescue them. The light keepers were awarded bravery medals.
“This is a remarkable story of tragedy, perseverance and heroism”.
“The Nyora had already towed the Astoria to Port Pirie from Sydney. The Astoria’s cargo of some 380 kilometres of timber were unloaded, and the Nyora was making the return trip when the accident happened”.
“The Astoria had two engines which failed not long after arriving in Sydney from Portland Oregon, USA. They could not fix the engines and could not unload. There simply was too much timber.
That is why they decided to tow the Astoria to the customer in Port Pirie where it was urgently needed.”
The Astoria was too hopeless to help with any rescue. She barely coped. It would be months before she was repaired and made her way back to America.
“The Nyora was a popular tug of Port Melbourne and would be called upon to solve all sorts of shipping problems around Australia. She was very popular with the public and seafarers alike”.
Descendants of the survivors and one of the light keepers have been notified of the find.
“The discovery has been a collaborative approach”. “A search area was raised, and targets of interest, along with the wider area were investigated”.
It is with pleasure I introduce an overview of the wreck site of the Nyora.

Conservation Conversations: Sunbirds and flower colour - Dr Anina Coetzee (17Aug21)
On Tuesday, 17 August 2021 at 19:00 (SAST), BirdLife South Africa's weekly webinar series ‘Conservation Conversations with BirdLife South Africa’ hosted Dr Anina Coetzee, a lecturer in nature conservation at Nelson Mandela University.
Birds have exceptional vision. In fact, they can see more colours than humans can. Sunbirds use this sharp vision to seek out the best flowers to feed from. Sunbirds feed on the nectar provided by flowers, and these flowers depend on the sunbirds to pollinate them so they can produce seeds. Flowers compete for the attention of sunbirds and they use flower colour to attract them. The fynbos endemic Orange-breasted Sunbird pollinates Cape Erica flowers, which have a puzzling diversity of flower colours. Do the colour preferences and behaviour of sunbirds explain the diversity of flower colours in Erica species? Dr Anina Coetzee studied this fascinating system during her time at the FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology at the University of Cape Town. She is now based at Nelson Mandela University’s George Campus where she continues her research on the conservation of fynbos and forests.
Hector Pieterson Memorial
Fusion visited the Hector Pieterson* Memorial, which opened in Soweto in 2002, not far from the spot where 12 year-old Hector was shot on the June 16, 1976 during the Soweto uprising that today is a symbol of resistance to the brutality of the apartheid government.
Soweto, a city developed as a township for black people during apartheid, lies south of Johannesburg. Its residents number some two million people with homes that range from shacks to extravagant mansions. On June 16 school children had gathered to protest the imposition of Afrikaans as a medium of instruction in township schools. There are contradictory accounts of just who gave the first command to shoot but as children began singing Nkosi Sikelel iAfrika, and before they could be dispersed, the police opened fire. Some 20 children died in the ensuing pandemonium.
On the lighter side, a Vitamin Water promo van stopped by to give the Fusion players and parents some free Vitamin water; the Vitamin Water lady took photos of us and we took video of her.
