A fundamental concern for others in our individual and community lives would go a long way in making the world the better place we so passionately dreamt of.

I like friends who have independent minds because they tend to make you see problems from all angles.

Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do.

A critical, independent and investigative press is the lifeblood of any democracy. The press must be free from state interference. It must have the economic strength to stand up to the blandishments of government officials. It must have sufficient independence from vested interests to be bold and inquiring without fear or favour. It must enjoy the protection of the constitution, so that it can protect our rights as citizens.
