This is not to say that Irfaan deserves his presidential candidature solely because of his grandmother. Irfaan himself has contributed immeasurably more than Vrinda to the PPP, assuming that she contributed anything at all.
I agree with everything you say here Gilly. Irfan’s grandmother Sakina was a PPP champion in Leonora. She was always in the front leading every march from Leonora, Anna Catherina, Cornelia Ida etc. I remember her fondly.
She was a champion in Uitvlugt too. I vividly remember seeing her and teacher Ruth Persaud helping women in U Pasture organize a WPO group in 1965.
What kind of name is Uitv***t? European???
Dutch.....
