The look on her face says "Girls, who is this old man trying to cozy up to my hotness?" My guess is that she really doesn't know who it is EVEN with his name printed on the wall behind her.
Charles is marveling at the union of the oppressor and the oppressed. The lily white product of boer dominance and the old man, worn down by the machine of boer racism. The marvel here though, is that in the new South Africa, pragmatism won over emotional notions of correcting past wrongs. Mandela, symbol of the worst of boer oppression can embrace his oppressors daughter because it is pragmatic to do so - anything less would send the fledgling country into the abyss.
The image of the Boer farmers' daughter and the brutal Apartheid system's politcal prisoner, can tell us many things, but what comes to mind is that like Charles, the great Mandela can never be a muslim.
While she did grow up in a farming community, I'm not sure if she can really be considered a "boer" since her dad was French and her mom is German. Of course, that naturally brings up the question of whether a South African farmer of British ancestry could be considered a boer.
Ditto, Matt -- He's got all the yadda yadda, but like any guy who's in that situation and smiling like that, he's really gauging how his fantasies might possibly translate into action. Call it the WhatAreMyChances-O-Meter.

Charles must get paid by the response for his Slog posts.
She was so scary in Monster and so corny in aeon flux that I think she's a waste of talent

she knows who the old man is. christ, charlize is not paris hilton.
monster changed her face permanently, though. her hotness is diminished.
If you need to re-hot her hotness then watch Two Days In The Valley.
@6 No seriously! She's thinking "OMG, Esther Rolle has lost some serious weight doing that South Beach Diet!"
You're a stupid Kitty. Either that fat and jealous.

Pigs feet and white women.

@5, You may have nailed Charles on this one. Excellent work!

Maybe, but I can also think of another reason to embrace that oppressor's daughter...
