A butt naked truth

People never change; at least that is what we are brought up to think. You can never teach an old dog new tricks and other such idioms that make us wary of ever trusting completely

This article stated some sound arguments as to why neither socialism nor capitalism, left to its own devices was not the ideal social system for the South Africa people like Nelson Mandela, Denis Goldberg et al. envisioned.

All a rip off?

Many of us have felt the effects of the global economic crisis in one way or the other. For some, the impact has been much greater while for others, life goes on as usual.

A state of confusion

Most of us will agree that at one point or another in our childhood, distant or not so distant, we sat and listened to a fairy tale or two.

The media apparently plays the role of watchdog on behalf of society while also setting agendas to engage society in critical thinking that promotes responsible citizenship.

Mission Possible - Lion's Head

Perhaps one of the greatest blessings or curse of our generation is the ability to speak freely about anything and anyone

Still I rise

While the battle is not mine, yet the need to fight for others above myself compels me to continue pressing on against the odds.
