I did not see the email from Groton so I’m not sure what you mean by “claiming a piece of Nelson Mandela,” but in Temba Maqubela’s defense, as a young man he was targeted by South African death squads for his opposition to apartheid, narrowly escaped being killed, had to flee to Botswana and then eventually to the US. So the struggle against apartheid was quite personal for him. I think it says a lot about Groton and where it is headed that Maqubela was named headmaster. It’s early days yet but he and Vu Vu (his wife) are already making their presence felt. They are both incredibly warm people.

If anyone is interested, his story can be found here:
