I wish to thank you for the inspiration you have given many young South African girls.
Were you scared when you received your first death threat after reporting that there was no hunger strike with the Steve Biko’s death? I can imagine that you were scared, a mere 26 year old girl stumbling upon such an affair…
With your two-year old son you accommodated political-activists and had to endured arrests and fleeing from your home. Yet even after all this, you still continued glowing with the flair only you can.
You believed in the government education and even sent your children to public schools.
Your Pisces star sign allows you to see through people and you are not fooled by their grand gestures or wrongful glass covers.
You received a number of challenges from the leading party during your reign as Mayor, yet still you continued aiming higher. With the 2009 elections you were elected as Premier of the Western Cape, giving all your loyal followers a ray of light nation wide.
You have an open opportunity policy for all, giving all individuals an equal opportunity to reach their dreams.
I will continue doing the best I can and never give up, it will be my way of saluting the legend and hope you are for us a nation. You are like Emily Hobhouse, saving a nation, making us think twice about emigrating to the so-called “greener-pastures”
Kindest Regards,
Nadia
