Retroid Raving

...though we might wish it otherwise.  The bit about "rides", we mean.  From the VC's office this morning:

" The parties, having participated in the internal disciplinary process and having due regard to the complex nature of the matters that gave rise to the enquiry, have reached a mutual agreement to annul the disciplinary enquiry and abandon all charges brought against Dr Ngobeni.”
In acknowledgment of the complexity of this matter, the hardship that it must have caused the parties involved, I wish to apologise for any inconvenience caused, particularly to Dr Ngobeni. Having satisfactorily resolved the matters, Dr Ngobeni has expressed his wish to leave UCT to pursue other interests and we wish him all the very best in his future endeavours." 

An altogether unsatisfactory ending to an altogether unpalatable soap opera.  Ah, well: just like Star Wars, then!  "Ride" well, Obi-Wan!

Given that Retroid is not known to go much TO Jammie Steps, let alone south of them. it is not surprising we missed this (for which we thank an eagle-eyed mathematician):

So yes, the intrepid Field Marshal IS still remembered on UCT Upper Campus.  And the layers of meaning and symbolism go even deeper than suspected.  Ante-pre-post-modernist, almost!
