Keep it moving...

What a month….it was here now it’s gone. I’ve always maintained that the World Cup was a bitter sweet event. It was one of the best advertising campaigns for our country, putting us on the world map. 65billion of public funds spent according to Tony Ehrenreich, Cosatu provincial secretary, an influx of tourists, soccer fans seeing their favorite teams it made for a month of scales being tipped on either sides continuously. With all said and done we still face the ugly face of poverty and the growing economic divide. With newly “infrastructures” in place the backlog of housing can hopefully be addressed with the profits made from these public funds. We shouldn’t also be fooled into thinking that event has brought a new found patriotism….we are still racially, economically divided even amongst our own communities. I do believe that sports, music and arts can help bridge these divides but government should really scrutinize their “existing” projects and assess it’s effectiveness.




I refuse to be a doom sayer and always hope for Zion but have to face the reality and challenges that face us. Amandla!
