A reminder that despite all the noise, this too shall pass

I intended ignoring the outbursts and threats to other journalists and myself by a Gupta-funded group of angry young South Africans. But given the many messages of support, it behoves me to thank you for all. Especially to those behind a now viral message to prayer circles.

My thoughts, rather, remain with the family of Suna Venter and other members of the SABC8 – those brave souls who have been unbending against almost unbearable abuse.

And it also serves as a reminder to all whose peace of mind is being disturbed that this too shall pass. And it really isn't productive to allow critics to rent space in your head.
