Keep your sights on the future
Hold your head up high in 2016!
In life you have two choices - you
either look at the bone dry pan
below you or you look up at the
sky and see promises of rain. This
photograph was taken at the end
of January at Bultfontein.
Looking up, one can see many
promises. The municipal elections
will take place this year and to
take part in this five-yearly event,
everyone has to register on 5 and
6 March.
Talking about big events - the
2016 Summer Olympic Games is
around the corner and I am sure
that Brazil will welcome us, with
a least a samba. The cover page
makes you think of the 2015
Rugby World Cup. The Springboks could so easily have given
up after the beating they took
from Japan. However, they chose
to look up and brought home a
bronze medal.
El Niño and the drought are merely extraordinary incidents which
we have to overcome. South African producers are the best in the
world and there is no doubt that
they will pull through!
