Yes, so the final day of March 2017 will go down in South African history as the day the country woke up to economic carnage. The South African rand fell by 7.5% against the $US. The reason? President Jacob Zuma initiated a massive government reshuffle where the biggest casualty for parliament and the health of the country, was the SA Minister of Finance Pravin Gordhan who was summarily fired in favour of a completely unknown, unqualified successor. The news was laden with headlines…
South Africa (AND the world) in turmoil for sure, with my friend Lisa writing a piece for her Facebook page that I could not have been said any better…
“Focus on the good and beautiful in the world, then go off and try and be part of that!”
Thanks Lisa. 🙂
Political carnage is nothing new. Power struggles have been around since time immemorial.
How we deal with them is what makes a difference to our lives.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.
It’s not always easy but it’s worth it. God is in control.
#248 of my 1000 thanks is for the lovely cool weather, light rain and the changing of the seasons. Winter is coming.
These are the days!
Keep the smile going.
God bless you!
In His Grip,
Helga xx 🙂
