Phuthu Stay Phut, Don't go!

The Movement for Good is a network of organisations that merged to inspire and call South Africans to become active citizens for good. Their vision is to build South Africa up to be a country that lives its constitutional values, that has opportunity for all and that is safe. All across SA many good people have started up independent organisations that care. Their aim is to combine these organisations so that there is coherency and synergy across the various campaigns.

This movement encourages and prompts each and every one of us to become a good citizen, to get involved so that South Africa can become a country we all want to live in.

I love living in South Africa where people acknowledge that the country is a work in progress. Yes, it can sometimes be daunting. I do have moments of frustration and anger, like everyone else, but never a moment of hopelessness.

I love it here because I get challenged daily and that brings growth; builds character. I can choose to live elsewhere where it’s safe and easy but I’ll be bored - I was made for more than just living the good life. I was born to bring change in my own little way. Living here right now requires strength. And that I have.

Over here I am forever a scholar of life… learning about forgiveness, perseverance, sharing, compassion and love.

It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.
