Quote of the week

It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn.

Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life — and travel — leaves marks on you.

The journey is part of the experience — an expression of the seriousness of one’s intent. One doesn’t take the A train to Mecca.

Jacob Zuma’s contempt of court

It is unbecoming and irresponsible of a person in Mr Zuma’s position to wilfully undermine the law in this way.  Mr Zuma had every right and opportunity to defend his rights, but he chose, time and time again, to publicly reject and vilify the Judiciary entirely.  I have already detailed the lengths to which this Court has gone in this matter to safeguard Mr Zuma’s rights despite his insolence towards this Court.  Consequently, there is no sound or logical basis on which Mr Zuma can claim to have been treated unfairly or victimised by this Court.  His attempts to evoke public sympathy through such allegations fly in the face of reason.  They are an insult to the constitutional dispensation for which so many women and men fought and lost their lives.
