Profile

What motivated you to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?
It was my growing up in apartheid South Africa and the quest for peace, security and development for my country, the continent nd the world. I was strongly motivated by compatriots such as Mahatma Ghandi, Chief Albert Luthuli, Oliver Tambo, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, Raymond Mhlaba, Govan Mbeki, Mita Sperepere, Albertina Sisulu, Victoria Mxenge, Joe Slovo, JB Marks, Sandy Africa, Helen Joseph, Joe Nhlanhla to mention a few. My involvement in the early years of the founding of a democratic South Africa drew me closer to the realities of what is needed to make South Africa and the continent tick in the peace, security and development spheres. My work in the Committee of Intelligence and Security Services of Africa contiues to challenge my understanding and willingness to continue to strive for peace, security and development in Africa. For as long as there are any many who strive and yearn for peace, security and development in their environment and I am still able to breath and talk, I am willing to join with them to make tomorrow better than yesterday. Making a better life for all is what has drawn me to peace, security and development with conflict resolution just one building block in this effort.
