It sounds dramatic but the fall from grace is very real. Thabo Mbeki, Robert Downing Jnr, George Best are some of the larger than life celebrities to have fallen from grace with the world watching in disbelief.

Stop the Hate and the Blame …
Let me start of by saying, that I do not agree with a violent route for you to be heard. You can never gain anything by breaking down, or worse still killing someone else to further your cause. Over the past few years I have noticed with much anticipation and interest the growing number of...

As an Educator I am often faced with talent that abandons their education when they begin it, are midway, or just before completion citing “too much workload”, or “I can’t cope” and the famous line, “I don’t really need this qualification to ‘make it’”. I once had a young man tell me he’s quitting school...
