Dear Readers,
If there was a worldwide Chinese Horoscope for 2009, it would probably consist of only one line: PREPARE FOR MASSIVE CHANGES. Across the continents, transformations in 2009 have been thick on the ground and South Africa is no exception.
The first big reverberation in South Africa came with the loss of revered political activist, Helen Suzman. South Africa will unquestionably feel the loss of such an inspiring pioneer for a long time to come Her bullish determination will remain in the political map of our country indefinitely.
Manifesto’s, campaign launches, court appeals and over rulings have filled up January with fervour thus far. The many possibilities opening up for the future of a better South African democracy in the form of COPE, the SCA and the NCP’s landmark moves ensure that excitement is mounting and hard to reign in, and judging by the focus of the Roots Republic feedback, that feeling is consistent among many.
Lastly, a massive thank you is owed to everyone who read and responded to our inaugural issue – we appreciate your time and effort more than we can say. As you can see the design of this newsletter is still very basic –rest assured that it is a work in progress. In the meantime, we would love for you to keep your critical eyes on the editorial, and please come back to us with any and all feedback you may have.
If you received this mail from a friend and are interested in regular updates, or have any feedback, please email us your name, surname and preferred email address and we will add you to our list. All personal details will be kept confidential.
Happy 2009!
