Thank you for sharing this. I wish South Africa could become a gentler and safer place for all. Rogue ideology on all sides is destroying the world.

Jodie, you literally had me in tears. Your article is both personal and immensely reflective of what we have become as a nation. It is my prediction that reactions to the White Cross Project will indeed confirm again what you said about the effects of dehumanising people in the ways you mentioned, mostly on account of those in power, who can work against it, but who are not doing so. They either do it by default or are even actively encouraging it. What a disgrace, but how immensely sad at the same time.

Piet thank you for the kind words. I agree with you and it has already started to some extent, I do not think it will be reported fairly in the press next week. The pressure the USA is applying is good and I hope they follow through, as a country we are capable of so much more and it would be great if we could make the necessary changes.

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Some nations are waking up to the plight of the people of South Africa. Thanks, Pesident Trump. Those disgraceful people you will be targeting are surely not deserving to visit the USA.

What thoughtful writing. Thank you. Would that some of this rubs off on the hate-mongers.
