Wow wena.....How am I seeing this now? Maybe the universe saw me crying for Wele and parked this for a new day when my heart could "hear" it. This means a lot to me. I appreciate your affirmation and generosity.
It pleases me most because 702 was truly a joyful space for me. I LOVED my time there. I am so glad that it showed in the work. Thank you for seeing me this way.
Welekazi?! @African_Spring ? What did you do? What did you do? Not you. Not you. I love you so much. I don't understand what I've just read here. Words feel so inadequate. I'm heartbroken, beloved stranger whom I'd never met. But we met...we met...in words, admiration, laughter, love and solidarity. We met in ways more powerful than the physical. And I loved and admired you. I'm comforted that I atleast told you so, multiple times.
I can't think of anything that makes your death fair. I'm so twisted inside and I wish you were still here to share your insights, wit, sharp tongue and love for South Africa, with us.
You called yourself African Spring - a name filled with youth, hope and the promise of renewal. How unbearably cruel that your own spring should have been so brief. You should have had so many more seasons.
We are poorer without you. Go gently African Spring.
Mandela disrupted an international order that had become comfortable with injustice. And perhaps that is the Mandela we most need today.
We often celebrate reconciliation as though it were Mandela’s defining gift. It was not. Justice was. Reconciliation was never his starting point, it was his destination. His starting point was justice.” — Redi Tlhabi
