Editor’s Letter<br />
The new edition is finally out,<br />
with lots of good things to read. As<br />
usual of course.<br />
Xenophobia is something horrible and it is<br />
again hitting us hard as a society. Sikosane<br />
has written a very insightful article on this<br />
topic. It has not been an easy article and it is<br />
nearly impossible to balance any views on it.<br />
How can we even try to be balanced when<br />
the emotions are running so high, but,<br />
Sikosane has made the best attempt I have<br />
come accross.<br />
Our fashion writer is back! Four pages this<br />
time. People, he is brilliant and has managed<br />
to advise us all on what to wear (and not) for<br />
this coming winter.<br />
The fashion pages are also starting our<br />
revamp of lay-out. Not that it needs to be<br />
‘pop’, but the colourful articles will have a<br />
less serious look. I am always looking forward<br />
to see what Sifiso has cooked up for us, and<br />
this edition is no exception.<br />
Sifiso’s story is also in this edition. These<br />
are very personal stories from our writers. I<br />
try to see if we can have a ‘meet the team’<br />
story every month now, and Sifiso’s article<br />
is a great read. It is written with passion and<br />
feelings that can be felt. This is quality stuff.<br />
Languages is always a hot topic. This time it is<br />
Sikosane who is giving it a bash. Languages do<br />
define us, but they should not dominate us.<br />
I imagine <strong>there</strong> are as many opinions as we<br />
have people on this earth.<br />
Film from Pinky: she had a stab at the music<br />
scene in the previous issue and now it is the<br />
film scene to be looked at. It is not just about<br />
the latest films, but a lot more. How do we<br />
go about watching a movie? Is it the movie<br />
or is it social? Why and how. Again, quality<br />
from Pinky and we shall expect more from<br />
her if she continues to write articles of this<br />
standard.<br />
The most difficult one I have reserved for<br />
last: Alphabets. Oh my! Fikile has been in<br />
on braille and sign language. But it touches<br />
on one thing: Alphabets! Where do they<br />
come from? How many are <strong>there</strong>? They<br />
look so different but are <strong>there</strong> any common<br />
denominators? This will in all likelihood <strong>get</strong><br />
into at least a mini-series of 3-4 articles.<br />
Of course we have really silly... something.<br />
This time it is science. And the quotes! And<br />
a bit on the outside world. And book review!<br />
Here’s to a good read as usual.<br />
