Great interview by @MonikaIuel CMO @Wesgro providing insights into our lobby to get South Africa off the UK's red list, an initiative driven by @satsa_sa, but really an industry-funded collaboration. #southafricaistravelready #AmberforAfrica capetalk.co.za/articles/4246…

A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them. The sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being. Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

"We need more understanding of human nature, because the only real danger that exists is man himself . . . We know nothing of man, far too little. His psyche should be studied because we are the origin of all coming evil." - Carl Jung
