All in the same breath, year-end fatigue has a proper choke hold me, but I am still grateful for the numerous opportunities that come up during this period, that ensure we stay busy. It’s 1am right now as I author this. I am up because of a few things, firstly; making some traditional ginger beer, gemere. I’m looking forward to throwing some ice in a tall glass of it in a few days. Then I am also up because I can’t sleep! It is blazing hot!!! And it just seems that this heat wave is the gift that keeps giving. I have literally lost count in the past week, of the number of showers a day everyone takes. The litres of water we each drink a day, the number of outfit changes in a day because you just find yourself sweating profusely all the time.
Please make sure to hydrate like never before and when you do step out, don't stay out in the sun too long. I should check my friend Lebo G gore a ba setse ba tswetse ko golf, it's a hazard in the current climate. Ke a rumulana, but it’s because I miss her so much. The point I was making is, if you need to be outside, make it quick and make it count! We've been making it count over the past week and a bit, by being a part of the Thuto Boswa Rehabilitation Centre Graduation, along with great friends of ours who heeded the call to make the day extra special for the graduates. We are thankful to Legends Barbershop for the graduates’ fresh cuts, as well as Setho Health Solutions who was on standby at the ceremony and also pledged to give the Top 10 performers safety and fire training. Only a week later we found ourselves back in Ram City for the schools Christmas and farewell party, which was such a jump! We couldn't have pulled it off without Hungry Lion, Rhodes Quality and Hinds. Words cannot express the gratitude we have towards individuals and brands that support our efforts towards institutions such as Thuto Boswa. Thank you for choosing to pay it forward.
