Intro:

This is just an introduction.

This blog might be and might not be consistent... it might not be the most entertaining or insightful,

but it promises to be unbiased and scathing.
In these times of uncertainty and internal upheaval i feel words have to be spoken with the same venom and bite that our fore fathers possessed during the struggle for independence and self governance.

I create this blog not entirely for personal gain, but as a means of expressing the many thoughts i have had on governance and leadership.

One of our aspiring presidential candidates stated that the youth of this nation are not ready to lead.

That statement felt like an insult.

I feel their time has gone and its now ours.

in what ever way we can, we have a responsibility to this nation, no matter how tribalised or religiously polarized they say we are.

For 50 years we have existed as a nation... in fragility and and uneasiness. Now the whole country has seen the truth, leadership is not earned, it is zoned.

These and many more issue are what i hope will stimulate this platform which i hope will grow to a focal point of discourse and intellectual stimulation.

Hopefully one day leading to a new sense of enlightenment amongst the youth of this great nation.

We cannot turn our head and ignore anymore, we cannot tell our selves that those to blame are in power. We must raise our voices and demand change and accountability.

I encourage you all to take a moment to think about these very words.

We shouldn't wait for our own kids to ask us what we have done to make things different.

Lets work, talk and aspire for Change.
