The Daily Insider: Chris Pappas breathes fresh air into SA’s politics
During the worst of the Zupta plunder, we found different ways to retain sanity. Mine was drawing on wisdom of the ancients, those long-dead rational beings who reminded us no matter how awful things might appear, this too shall pass.
It helped. Instead of being sucked into the pervading mood, I was able to appreciate otherwise invisible green shoots. We’re into a different set of challenges today. But once again, rays of sunshine are there for those prepared to look.
