My mom has been an ANC member and activist for all of my life. I share a birthday with the ANC, and for most of my life, I proudly spent Jan 8th with other family or friends, while my parents served the party. Since I was almost 9 years old, she has served as a member of South Africa’s democratic government. During those three decades, she has led with dedication, integrity, intelligence, wisdom, a love for her country, and a focus on principles, those held high by her religion, upbringing, country and party. Yesterday I told her for the countless time, how much I love her, how much she inspires me and how proud I am of her. I’m excited for this next stage in her life, which I know will be anything but idle. It will undoubtedly be focussed on creating positive impact and on continuing to champion the causes of the underserved, voiceless and powerless. I’m also hoping that as by far the most hardworking person I’ve ever met, she finally takes a bit of well-deserved time for rest. Very proud and grateful daughter, and hopeful for SA. May our country and people be blessed with peace, unity, growth and prosperity 🇿🇦

It takes sacrifices, late nights, and self-belief to nurture and grow a business. It's hard. It's fulfilling. And it requires an immense amount of bravery. #BraveryHasAHome

Nandos capitalises as a brand and business on a very particular set of political circumstances in South Africa. They win awards for what we perceive to be smart, bold satire & commentary. But it's an entirely parasitic relationship.
