I was walking down Boom Street in Pietermaritzburg heading
for Pieter Kerchoff Street, quietly minding my own business. Unbeknown to me I
was being followed by two men who were discussing the contents of the sling bag
I carry over my shoulder. They
speculated aloud whether I was carrying a camera, or if there were other
valuable things inside it. I, unaware of
this conversation, reached the travel agent I was seeking and entered the
building. We all went on our way having missed the moment that we might have
met each other in an unfortunate encounter.
I only know this because our Seminary caretaker was walking
down the same road behind the two men, listening to their conversation. He was
wondering how he could intervene to prevent anything happening. He too went on
his way, relieved that the moment had passed.
