Hello All
It's nearly the end of the year and Denise and I wish you all a very blessed and also merry Christmas.
The
last few days have certainly allowed us all to focus, one way or
another, on the meaning of life, on the value which needs to be given to
real values, on humility, generosity and also to focus on our society
and our social conscience. This event, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela's
death, has given us the opportunity to rethink the issues of showing
empathy to our fellow beings, caring for those who need it, of showing
us all the responsibilities to be faced – our responsibilities. And it
has highlighted the job that needs still to be done most urgently to
improve and uplift our South African society. May this occasion, sad as
death is, also have a positive effect in creating a new vision in the
minds of those who run this country and coerce them and in turn all of
us to live and lead in a substantive and effective manner.
Thank you Mr Mandela for once again reminding us about caring.
May you rest in peace, but your principles blossom.
Regards
