its the type of thing one ought to share. really it is.
in these times we find ourselves in. times i often believe are the cla**ic case of times when there were decisions and choices to be made and they werent. the make or break type times. the type times when silences come to be remembered as complicity. when what the media often has to offer is a sensationalism that often leaves one jaded and overwhelmed. when people just dont know what to believe or what to do. it is so refreshing to hear from the other voices. just the opportunity to see something else. when the platforms are littered with people saying something but nothing.
in these times it is truly always an honour and priviledge to be in the presence of greatness. the kind we are lacking right now. and so it is that i am compelled to pa** on. scream. shout. DR MAMPHELA RAMPHELE. its the pity of our times we as young people rarely get the chance to be fully exposed to or experience the wisdoms that do exist. the kind that everyone knows but somehow never get counted. that are out there. in very short for those who may not know of her. former vice chancellor of uct and former managing director of the world bank. and now chairperson of an investment group. what an amazing individual. the kind of person who is so so empowered. it comes through in her delivery. and empowered not because she holds some position. or that shes moneyed. the kind that can only come when you live it. hers is a huge personal power. she is amazing not because of who she is if this makes any sense. but because of what she has to say. she was part of panel speaking on the current situation of leadership in relation to both a south african and zimbabwean context. speaking with clarity. authority and sense. a woman of stature and calibre.
if you get the opportunity to see her. listen to her. read up on her. do so. infact. seek it.
this is someone we need to know and respect.
engage.
