There is so little and so much happening at the moment, makes me feel a bit like I’m on the set of Stranger Things!  So many companies that have been around for years have dissolved leaving so many people wondering what to do – find a job? begin a start-up? collaborate with a group, be a part of the gig economy? – it’s endless… The pandemic has become an inflection point for many… not excluding myself.

Human Rights Day is commemorated annually on 21 March to remind South Africans about the sacrifices that accompanied the struggle for democracy in South Africa.

The 1960s were characterised by systematic defiance and protest against apartheid and racism across the country. On March 21, 1960 the communities of Sharpeville and Langa, along with their compatriots, embarked on a march to protest against pass laws.

Our democratic government declared March 21 Human Rights Day to commemorate and honour those who fought and lost their lives for our liberation and the rights we enjoy today. Our Constitution is hailed as one of the most progressive in the world.

Through stories and music, little ones can find healing and understanding in these unprecedented times.

From March the 7th through to the 18th, NCT’s outdoor Imagination Theatre will...

This week, fellow South Africans gathered on couches across the country to listen to our Main Man, President Cyril Rhamaposa.  We have been graduated from Level 3 directly to Level 1.  Wow, we even skipped a level.  With all this excitement comes great responsibility.  I’m not saying, don’t have fun, I mean hello!!  I am all bout the fun.
