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
