In connection with burning France, this could seem concerning to him.

In "On Foot Around the World," he wrote that after the previous day's march, his quadriceps were sore, which he attributed to having eaten only nuts all day. The day before, because he slept close to the road and did not want to be visible, he skipped dinner and ate only the cold contents of a can — chakalaka. He reported that over those two days he walked a total of 116 km: 54 km and 62 km. He calculated about 39 km a day from this, dividing the result by three, and wrote that he had to rest that day. He also described a long conversation with a pastor who — as he recounted — boasted about building 17 churches in South Africa and other Southern African countries. According to the author, the pastor was white, came from Johannesburg, and moved with his wife after selling their house and farm. The pastor cited high crime rates and the deaths of many farmers as reasons for the move. The conversation lasted about an hour and a half; the pastor presented him with the history of South Africa, including the last 25 years when — as he put it — black people began to take power. The author added that he later learned that the pastor belonged to the Jehovah's Witnesses. The man had offered him accommodation at his brother's place in Gordon’s Bay if he was in the Cape Town area. "On Foot Around the World" described this town as a southwestern suburb and noted that it was on the way from Cape Agulhas. #marsz #odpoczynek #historia (translated)
