Is equality a myth? In 2005, I graced Gauteng province in a quest for career advancement. I remember wondering whether the devil is a genius or we are fools, when I saw churches with 99% native Africans, being forced to sing Australian songs. This ordeal have been the fibre of many churches I have seen […]

Do young people struggle with entitlement?
In general, no!

The Brain
By David Eagleman Recommended by my CEO, it is a great book: The book focuses on the most sophisticated, powerful and efficient computer the world has ever seen.

A System not Designed for Africa
