A MESSAGE TO PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA Mr President: In the Book of Kings in the Old Testament, God tells Elijah to leave the cave to which he has retreated,...Thank you Jeff Radebe for your timely, balanced, wide-ranging and very informative historical overview of the development of the valuable principle of non-racialism in South Africa. Although it it longer than most opinion pieces I strongly urge all SAns to make time to read it from beginning to end in order to conclude why acceptance and promotion of non-racialism is every SAn responsibility because it's in every right-minded SAn's interest.
For me as a committed Christian non-racialism is more than a political, economic and social imperative it is a veritably profound spiritual consideration whose adherence and practice will most definitely make the world a better place to live in!
Institutionalization of racism has eroded SA's democratic dividend

Racism’s institutionalization and opportunistic deployment erode South Africa's democratic dividend. It then creates unnecessary conflagrations and inordinate societal tensions.Stand up and be counted! It is time for action! Remember the ANC is not a proxy for Black. It is about abortive government. This is not about race, this is about competence and integrity. It is about a worldview of upliftment and the quest for the greater good.
“Stay calm, follow the advice of health professionals, and be conscious of the difference between sharing vital stories and contributing to the spread of fear. The greatest disservice done to those living amidst an infectious outbreak is to take their very real, complicated reality and turn it into a horror-filled fantasy." Whitney Johnson - How photographers capture a world besieged by infectious diseases on.natgeo.com/30XSNFN via National Geographic Photography
This powerful admonition by Whitney Johnson on the power and danger of story, got to my core with a thud of a blunt object! Some days living in South Africa, I feel so overwhelmed by the infectious outbreak of desperation, the democide, the under-hoped-ness of our national project, which for many is already a horror-filled fantasy, and the universal woundedness of the human condition. That I have to cling on with all in me and be so care-full with the stories I tell myself and about South Africa PTY (Ltd). To try to “Stay calm, follow the advice of health professionals - and other Merchants of Hope - , and be conscious of the difference between sharing vital stories and contributing to the spread of fear.

With coronavirus spreading, photographers must fight 'subtle paranoia' to show the disease's devastating wake.En uit die Kgalagadi... Die Ratel is vir my een van die bekoorlikste diere, wat grynslag in die gesig van die grootste Euwel; deurdruk by bye verby na die soet heuning toe; wat hard werk in die nag; en Rooi jakkalse een van die vervoeilkste vangers van weerlose lammers wat nie ‘n Herder het nie.
So... moenie dat enige iets jou lewe in dié jaar wurg nie, of enige iemand jou geveg onderbreek, of jou kos wil vat nie. Wees dapper en sterk! Ps 23.
Mooi video wat in Desember uit Botswana die rondte gedoen het.
Die Ratel is vir my een van die bekoorlikste diere, wat weer hier grynslag in die gesig van die grootste Euwel; deurdruk by bye verby na die soet heuning toe; en Jakkalse een van die vervoeilkste vangers van weerlose lammers wat nie ‘n Herder het nie.
So... moenie dat enige iets jou lewe in dié jaar wurg nie, of enige iemand jou geveg onderbreek, of jou kos wil vat nie. Wees dapper en sterk! Psalm 23
..... Fortunately, that wasn’t the only news. There were other stories out there, unsung victories for conservation, health, rising living standards, tolerance, peace, clean energy and environmental stewardship. Most of them didn’t make it into the evening bulletins or our Facebook feeds though, and that means that what we saw on our screens in 2019 was not the world. It was a negative image of the world, in both the photographic and tonal senses.
