Just Be
I watched her from afar as she presented her story, projecting a tone of confidence, and a polished appearance. Well, at least as polished as her awkward physique would allow. Everyone else was focused intently on what she was saying, how it was being pitched, and what was in it for them. Mesmerised by her…

Mental Masturbation
Walking through the city of London (while attending a conference recently) and observing the locals and tourists alike, I found myself contemplating a lot of truths we take for granted back home. I use the word ‘truth’ lightly in this case because much of how we perceive the world is based on conditioning and indoctrination…

The Purge
Today was one of those days when I needed to be purged of everything vile that I am compelled to deal with. It was a day in which I was reminded of the stench of betrayal, the slithery undertones of ingratitude, and the arrogance of authority. But in between all this I was faced with…

The joys of living in a country where the superior education of our ministers leads criminals to believe that they can blame Satan for their deeds. The last line in this article was the kicker for me. Trying to explain away a deranged mind by claiming that she couldn’t afford a funeral, hence burying her husband in a shallow grave inside the house! And this is the kind of responsibility and accountability that senior members of government actually endorse? Definitely time for the ANC to get out of office and make way for genuinely competent people to govern this country.

I sit here and witness the endless cycle that has played out so many times before. First the engagement, then the enlightenment, the burst of enthusiasm coupled with commitment to common goals, followed by empowerment, only to be destroyed by shameless politics. This is the cycle that my career has gone through on more occasions…
