Secretary of State Painting

Whenever I found myself sitting in court waiting to testify against poachers we had apprehended, I would find myself staring at the South African coat of arms(Secretary bird front and centre) behind the beautiful female Magistrates head, the woman who would be deciding the fate of the poachers and whether I had done my job right. She was a beautiful young woman who seriously took no nonsense, my husband Tom always claimed she looked like Princess Jasmine because of her beautiful olive skin, but to me she was a warrior, she made me proud to be a woman in this messy business of crime and syndicates, she decided who was winning and who was losing in the environmental court she was beautiful and powerful all-in-one.
