Our independence was built on the spirit and willingness to accommodate. Now we have the best chance to write a new inclusive chapter in our country’s history, for the sake of our children.

IN six days we will turn 62 and I sometimes wonder if those six decades have taught us anything at all. Have we capitalised on the wisdom of these long years to know what we want for ourselves, for our children and for our country? Or are we only able to see just beyond the tip of our noses and no more?
