How depressing Monday morning’s headlines; how out of step with the average South African the ANC and its repulsive, greedy and underwhelming officials, ministers and president.
And how sad that these people are what the world sees and thinks of us as a nation. Surely these dream-breakers are our dark side, the worst of us?
Then you have the Women’s T20 World Cup, a joyous, multicoloured, multicultured celebration of our people, players and potential. Beautiful background, our rugby captain cheering our team on, families showing their passion, beautiful people shining with hope, the backdrop underlining what a beautiful country we live in.
The best of us. I remain convinced that when the time comes to choose, the choice will be easy.
