Wednesday, 4 March 2015. ON HEARING I'M A BISEXUAL, DRUG-ABUSER THAT HAS BEEN IN AN OPEN MARRIAGE FOR YEARS. And I suppose I have to be grateful I'm a public figure and you 'have' to give me an opportunity to respond, as that statement seems to indicate that if I weren't a public figure you'd just print your rumours and allegations and be done with it. Let me be clear though, my leaving my wife had nothing to do with me being a bisexual drug-abuser in an open marriage. And no, I'm still not discussin...

Tuesday, 8 April 2014. Reply - after an interaction on Facebook. If the Western Cape is so assuredly DA why can't we also address what is wrong here? Why can't asking questions about the DA's ability and performance be addressed without talking about what the ANC is doing wrong? People who know me will tell you I don't . Is the timing of his defection suspect? You'd have to be born under a klip not to have gone there first. The question should be, do we disregard what he brings to the table? I think we c...

Wednesday, 24 September 2014. Have a heart-felt Heritage Day. Friday, 5 September 2014. Sometimes the feeling, the struggle to ignore. Is that of having been here, done this before. Confronted by yet another door. Passaging one more foreign shore. Window, wall, roof and floor. Succour only for mite and spore. No time passing, no clock keeping score. No privilege, nor favour for those you adore. Save the essential heart, the core. The promise that the cynical of soul abhor. Thursday, 4 September 2014.

Sunday, 9 November 2014. Blowing In The Wind. Be safe, be sheltered, be loved. Sunday, 2 November 2014. I forget sometimes to preach about love - weird, since it's the one thing that I constantly obsess about. How do we love better? Is it not what we all desire even in our secret hearts? These ties (strings in the Khoisan tradition) that binds us together - between family, friends, partners, kindred spirits, familiar strangers and the strangely familiar. How do we make them golden, vibrant, alive?

Sunday, 27 July 2014. Saturday, 26 July 2014. Pray for the children of Gaza. Makes it impossible to be unmoved by what is happening. Let me hasten to add that I've also been following Israel's reasoning for why they feel justified in their actions. Does this mean I should go sit in a corner and shut up? The children. And when I hear and see what the children of Gaza has to endure, and succumb from, on a daily basis, my strongest desire is for it to stop. Immediately. Pray for the children of Gaza. But no...

Tuesday, 19 August 2014. Moonlight sleeping on the midnight lake. But is it not our brothers and sisters facing these harsh realities? Is it not the human family suffering in front of our eyes? If the change truly starts with each one of us, it is important to remember that it should be for the benefit of all of us. It might not help those who are cold, hungry and homeless tonight, but it does mean there's intention to help effectively tomorrow. And the day after that. And long after that. Whats In A Name.

Sunday, 9 February 2014. Saartjie Baartman, The Consul and Chesters Wife. So according to the Son newspaper (I still haven't seen the letter of apology), Brian Figaji thought I should not have spoken about Saartjie Baartman to the French Consul. Or in the way that I did. You know about Saartjie Baartman? And finally, why won't Mr Figaji let me have a copy of his apology? Why didn't Mr Figaji inform me of the complaints? Why did I have to find out about this from the media? And Mr Figaji's worst? As is no...
