Today is a special day for Flanders and South Africa. The Flemish Community celebrates its official holiday, in remembrance of the Battle of the Golden Spurs in 1302, when Flemish infantry militia defeated the French army. South Africa commemorates the raid on Lillieslief Farm in Rivonia (Johannesburg). 50 years ago the South African police arrested there almost the entire leadership of the ANC. The arrests lead to the famous Rivonia Trial during which Nelson Mandela became a global icon in the struggle against apartheid.
