While I was accompanying Michael Maphanga (one of the youth coordinators in Siyabvuswa) who was on eTV morning broadcast Sunrise with our leader Roelf Meyer. While waiting at the waiting room before the call up, Roelf kept on calling me BROER which is an afrikaans word for brother. For someone like Roelf to call me brother thats all South Africa needs. To be brothers and sister irrespective of the colour of the skin, socio-economic class.Since I was born I have never had life changing moment like that. I am sure most of us we know Roelf Meyer as a former greatest politician and humanitarian (who did a alot of good work internationally) who (with Cyril Ramaphosa) played a big role in negotiations into Democaracy. If we can all come together and be a family calling each other brothers and sisters,not only calling each other rather act like one genuinely, the world will be the greatest.The way Roelf took his time and greet the security guards who in turn said to me that this man is a gift from God. And we are all special gifts and let's stand together irrespective and do what is right and make our world a better place.
