My South Africa
“My South Africa is the working-class man who called from the airport to return my wallet without a cent missing. It is the white woman who put all three of her domestic worker’s children through the same school that her own child attended. It is the politician in one of our rural provinces, Mpumalanga, who returned his salary to the government as a statement that standing with the poor had to bemore than just a few words. It is the teacher who worked after school hours every day during the public sector strike to ensure her children did not miss out on learning.
My South Africa is the first-year university student in Bloemfontein who took all the gifts she received for her birthday and donated them – with the permission of the givers – to a home for children in an Aids village. It is the people hurt by racist acts who find it in their hearts to publicly forgive the perpetrators. It is the group of farmers in Paarl who started a top school for the children of farm workers to ensure they got the best education possible while their parents toiled in the vineyards. It is the farmer’s wife in Viljoenskroon who created an education and training centre for the wives of farm labourers so that they could gain the advanced skills required to operate accredited early-learning centers for their own and other children.
My South Africa is that little white boy at a decent school in the Eastern Cape who decided to teach the black boys in the community to play cricket, and to fit them all out with the togs required to play the gentelman’s game. It is the two black street children in Durban, caught on camera, who put their spare change in the condensed milk tin of a white beggar. It is the Johannesburg pastor who opened up his church as a place of shelter for illegal immigrants. It is the Afrikaner woman from Boksburg who nailed the white guy who shot and killed one of South Africa’s greatest freedom fighters outside hishome.
My South Africa is the man who went to prison for 27 years and came out embracing his captors, thereby releasing them from their impending misery. It is the activist priest who dived into a crowd of angry people to rescue a woman from a sure necklacing. It is the former police chief who fell to his knees to wash the feet of Mamelodi women whose sons disappeared on his watch; it is the women who forgave him in his act of contrition. It is the Cape Town university psychologist who interviewed the ‘Prime Evil’ in Pretoria Centre and came away with emotional attachment, even empathy, for the human being who did such terrible things under apartheid.
My South Africa is the quiet, dignified, determined township mother from Langa who straightened her back during the years of oppression and decided that her struggle was to raise decent children, insist that they learn, and ensure that they not succumb to bitterness or defeat in the face of overwhelming odds. It is the two young girls who walked 20kms to school everyday, even through their matric years, and passed well enough to be accepted into university studies. It is the student who takes on three jobs, during the evenings and on weekends, to find ways of paying for his university studies.
My South Africa is the teenager in a wheelchair who works in townships serving the poor. It is the pastor of a Kenilworth church whose parishioners were slaughtered, who visits the killers and asks them for forgiveness because he was a beneficiary of apartheid. It is the politician who resigns on conscientious grounds, giving up status and salary because of an objection in principle to a social policy of her political party. It is the young lawman who decides to dedicate his life to representing those who cannot afford to pay for legal services.
My South Africa is not the angry, corrupt, violent country whose deeds fill the front pages of newspapers and the lead-in items on the seven-o’-clock news. It is the South Africa often unseen, yet powered by the remarkable lives of ordinary people. It is the citizens who keep the country together through millions of acts of daily kindness.” -Jonathan Jansen

Look to South Africa
Look to South Africa
By Erik Rush (Bio and Archives) Saturday, March 2, 2013 Comments | Print friendly | Subscribe | Email Us |
In
my view, the most frustrating phenomenon relative to the reign of
President Barack Obama is the unreserved sycophantic dedication held for
him by the media. Indeed, a plethora of actions taken by his
administration should have been enough to have him voted out of office,
impeached, or indicted by now, but he has been shielded by the press and
lionized by the entertainment media.
The intellectual dishonesty and outright duplicity of the press is
not restricted to on-air deceptions regarding Obama, or even domestic
issues. The aggregate compromise of America’s representation globally is
being misrepresented, as are international events.
One of the most tragic and dramatic examples of this is the transformation that has taken place in the Republic of South Africa since the end of minority white governance in 1994. “Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons for America From Post-Apartheid South Africa”
by author and columnist Ilana Mercer reveals not only how the conceit
of Western liberal elites served to bring down one of the most
prosperous nations in the West, but how the same motivations and methods
are at work in America’s decline.
Mercer was born in South Africa, and her father was a staunch and
active opponent of the policy of apartheid; it is for this reason that
her family was forced to leave in the 1960s. She returned in the 1980s,
and now bears witness to how Marxists and liberal elites worldwide
conspired to destroy this nation under the pretext of Social Justice.

Jennifer Rush is in Cape Town
Jennifer Rush, one of music's most enduring
names, is heading for South Africa! She will perform two concerts in
Cape Town on the 26th and 27th April at The Cape Town Convention Centre.
Fans
will remember this dynamic performer with her potent voice for such
memorable hits as 'Power of Love', 'Ring of Ice', 'Madonna’s Eyes' and
'Flames of Paradise', 'Never say Never', 'Ave Maria', 'Tears in the
Rain' and many more.
She’s an evergreen who has been going strong for more than three decades and shows no signs of slowing down.
Asked about what fans can expect from her concerts, she replied: “I will
be performing many of my hits. I will be bringing my own band and two
back up vocalists with me. They too are very excited to be coming to
South Africa. I actually asked my South African friends and their
acquaintances which songs they think South Africa would like – aside, of
course, from hit songs - and I think we have come up with a great song
list, which will even include a few songs from the last CD, ‘Now Is The
Hour.'"
Both nights start at 8pm
