67 minutes of service
By Zintle Mtyeku // December 22, 2011
Being charitable and helping people less fortunate has always been something I grew up doing. I was taught to collect my used clothing, especially after getting new outfits, and distribute it to different charities throughout the year. On Tuesday 13 December, 2011, a close friend of mine sent me a text message about doing something different on our Day of Reconciliation holiday (16 December), instead of the usual partying. We decided on giving our 67 minutes, and spending time with kids less fortunate than us at a charity close to where we live.

Shooting beyond the stars
By Zintle Mtyeku // December 20, 2011
Many a student might think it suicidal to combine a day job with studies. Young adults still in their early 20s, as I am, tend to have less knowledge of themselves, and less focus. And so, pulling off a successful juggling act might well prove more challenging than anticipated.

Another day in Africa
By Julia Lloyd // December 14, 2011
It was one of those really shabby days at the office. Certainly it was with heavy heart that the pair of us found ourselves on the back of a Landie at sun-up, cavorting about in Sabie Sand. Ingrid Sinclair of Flow’s Cape Town Office, and I, had been given one of those briefs too ghastly to detail – produce the content for the website upgrade of a game lodge in the Sabie Sand. As a result we were forced to head north-east for three days to this rather stunning place called Cheetah Plains. Read more…
