Letter from the Editor: It’s Summertime funtime!

It’s Summertime funtime and I’m excited to say welcome back to our subscribers and sawubona innit to those of you who are new here. First of all I would like to acknowledge the fact that since March our lives have changed drastically because of the invisible enemy that is COVID-19. It took the world by storm with a world-wide lockdown being implemented. We’ve all been affected someway or other but there are others who’ve experienced the direct impacts of the virus firsthand. With that being said, my heart goes out to everyone who has lost a loved one and my thoughts and prayers are with those who are suffering.

It is September (uMpandula), out with the old and in with the new, it’s a new season. Jacarandas are about to start blooming and perhaps it can be taken as a metaphor for the new beginnings that happen as we transition throughout life. Let the new blossoming flowers remind you that there are still opportunities for growth and improvement. Sure, there will be storms and it won’t be all sunshine and rainbows, but as we make choices to accept new beginnings, we’ll find life very fulfilling. Some things die in this process but there are other things that need to be killed to make space for great, newer and better opportunities to show up!

Here’s to growth and a fruitful last quarter.
