"Be2ween": I take pride in the fact that I'm good in what I do at work and don't have to suck up to my boss. We have different political views and we are at peace with it and respect that.

We need each other and have learned not to take each other for granted, of course after a long period of misunderstanding on both our part. By what I'm saying, we won't always share the same views but that doesn't mean what I believe in, is wrong, doesn't necessarily makes me right.

We must learn to live and let live. Criticise constructively, not for the sake of pulling another down. We need to change the way we think, live, dream, speak.We need to see the bigger picture and put the interest of the country first.

No one can claim to have a single solution to the problems the world is facing today, so let's not lie to ourselves. I won't enter into any little contest with no one here, 'cause that would just ruin the good news that ex-Cope Deputy is joining the ANC, for those who missed it. Welcome home, comrade Odendaal!
