Congratulations to Di Johnstone of Deakin, ACT, who became AM (Member in the General Division) in the Australia Day Honours, ‘For significant service to international relations through support for creative arts in South Africa, and to the community in Canberra.’
Di and another former Australian diplomat to South Africa, Bruce Haigh, were founding donors to Ifa Lethu, a South African foundation. The original aim of the Foundation was to repatriate South African struggle era art and heritage back into South Africa.
