Avril HenryGUEST
It's the consequences of you challenging the status quo and asking questions that causes disruption.
Danielle ColleyHOST
Avril Henry was born in Kimberley, South Africa, the city of diamonds under apartheid.
Danielle ColleyHOST
By 21, she had been tear gassed and shot at at protests and was on the security police watch list.
Danielle ColleyHOST
At 22, she left for Australia with two suitcases, 500 bucks and the man she loved.
Danielle ColleyHOST
Thank you.
Danielle ColleyHOST
Your story is absolutely remarkable.
Danielle ColleyHOST
But let's go back to the beginning, being born in Kimberley in South Africa during apartheid.
Danielle ColleyHOST
You were born into a family that Did it tough? And there was also a lot of underlying sort of mental health issues, which nobody really knew much about in those days.
Spencer JonesGUEST
Yes, absolutely.
Spencer JonesGUEST
So some diamonds were actually discovered in the 1870s in the Kimberley region.
Spencer JonesGUEST
They didn't cause much of a stir, actually, at the first time.
Spencer JonesGUEST
But one of those things, I don't think people realized just what a strike that they were sitting upon.
Spencer JonesGUEST
But over the 1870s, interest grew.
Spencer JonesGUEST
It would eventually lead to the creation of the famous Big Hole Mine.
Spencer JonesGUEST
At Kimberley, there were some disputes about who owned it and who had rights on it and so forth.
Spencer JonesGUEST
It didn't create the stir that you might think.
Robin ZanderHOST
But these minds, after the initial findings on the surface, are... reverse pyramid-shaped holes in the ground.
Robin ZanderHOST
And it's worth looking at some of the pictures of those earliest days of what became known as the Kimberley Mine, for example, is one of the biggest South African mines, because they are wild to look at.
Robin ZanderHOST
You have thousands of men digging in their own small claims within an unfathomably large hole in the ground.
Robin ZanderHOST
And when it rains, that fills with water.
Robin ZanderHOST
This is from Confer citing some etchings of the mine.
Robin ZanderHOST
It was as if some diabolically ingenious architect had contrived a room, a house with 500 rooms, not one of which should be on the same floor.
Robin ZanderHOST
In the Kimberley mine, there were 1,441 claims held by 214 men.
Robin ZanderHOST
And even the name of the town where the initial mining took place is itself a form of politics and flattery.
