My World

I live in Umhlanga Rocks, on the east coast of South Africa. I am passionate about my village, its trees, even the vervet monkeys that swing through our lives. This special place has beautiful beaches, a seaside promenade, outdoor restaurants and a carefree attitude. The weather is warm all year. The people are friendly.



My world includes the community and its goings-on. I want (and need to) know as much as possibly can about it, because I am a freelance journalist, and write for community newspapers and magazines. The people of Umhlanga are active in every thinkable committee and organisation to make life better for all: the environment, beautifying Umhlanga, urban improvement, animal welfare and rehabilitation of street kids; you name it, and you will find the same committed individuals working on it. It's nice to know that there are people around me who care. And I care about these people, and try to lighten their lives with my articles; or expose issues that impact detrimentally on our lifestyle so that we can all stand up for what we believe in.
