erguendo o punho em gesto de vitória
sorrindo ao apertar mãos
discursando para uma multidão animada
sentado pensativo no jardim
segurando o troféu da Copa do Mundo de Rugby
olhando pela janela com esperança
trabalhando como um jovem advogado em Joanesburgo
queimando sua caderneta de passe em protesto
quebrando pedras na Ilha Robben
votando pela primeira vez em 1994
