I’m afraid Bluesky hasn’t really taken off for me. I have found hardly any South African commentators or companies and I’m left out of touch here with the zeitgeist of my community. I’ll be sorry to leave the voices I love on here but it’s time to say goodbye! 👋

It was a bleak Easter 32 years ago when Chris Hani was assassinated at a sensitive time in the South African transition. His death left too many unanswered questions and his thinking remains relevant today more than ever.
