In the Jungle, the Unjust Jungle, a Small Victory - New York Times: "Some injustices cannot be redressed: in 2001, Mr. Linda's daughter Adelaide died of AIDS at age 38, unable to afford life-saving antiretroviral treatment.

'I was angry before,' said Ms. Nsele, who, as a government nurse, is one of the few of Mr. Linda's descendants who is employed. 'They didn't ask permission. They just decided to do anything they wanted with my father's song.'

'But now it seems we must forgive, because they have come to their senses and realized they have made a mistake,' Ms. Nsele said. 'The Bible says you must try to forgive.'

'Not 'try,' ' her 17-year-old daughter Zandile corrected. 'It says 'forgive.' '"
