Success Story: “African Spirit”

“African Spirit”

One heart can choose to blossom,

One thought can change one mind

One person can grow a country, a company a continent;

Through the connection that binds:

Waves and wives

Lines and poles

Linking hearts and words – in the economy of excellence and talent

We are the sun connecting individuals in our communities,

Until all that is left is

One slice of earth

One hope

One vision renewed

One air

One spirit,

A spirit is more than just air

A weakness is more than just strength

Who is afraid of peer pressure?

I’m here

One single individual

I walk with the power of change

The power of We.

A poem by a young learner from the Western Cape, 2008
