And now for something topical – but we hope topical only for now and not the rest of the year – our poem for load shedding in South Africa – and we believe the last two verses sum us up as South Africans so well. “ Resilience and Unified “

In shadows deep, the quiet falls, A world once bright, now muted calls, Whispers dance in the flicker of flame, As stillness stretches, the heart feels the same.

Candlelight flickers on weary walls, Each heartbeat echoes, a soft lament calls, The hum of life, a ghost of its tune, Beneath the dark shroud of a stubborn moon.

Fridge hums silent, promises break, Food turns to memories, dreams left to ache, Children gather with stories to share, The magic of moments fades into air.

Yet in the darkness, resilience glows, Stubborn hope like a river flows, With every outage, the spirit ignites, Connecting the souls beneath fractured lights.
