My South Africa

  MySouthAfrica is the one that smiles with the eyes – even behind the mask. MySouthAfrica  is the one that says Dumela or Good morning or any other greeting – the language does not matter, the well-meant wish does. MySouthAfrica  is the one that sings in the taxi stop. MySouthAfrica  is the one that cheers you when they see you struggling in the uphill (literally and metaphorically). MySouthAfrica  is the one that is in pain, that “bleeds” right and left but we have overcome worse, we will do it again. MySouthAfrica  is sunshine in the winter and a cool summer storm. MySouthAfrica  is not a rainbow or black and white; it is more than that, it is all the colours and shades to create the most amazing pictures of the world around us.  MySouthAfrica is the definition of "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" (Aristotle).    MySouthAfrica  shares. MySouthAfrica  cares. MySouthAfrica  hopes. MySouthAfrica  will bounce back.
