- The FIFA World Cup coming to Africa for the first time in its history.And this tournament being held here in South Africa.By all accounts Mzansi doing an excellent job in hosting it.This hosting also getting to unite the country like never before.
For us an abiding image of this tournament was this one instance where a camera moved from the football field to go to the stands where it captured former USA President Bill Clinton and Rolling Stones' leading man Mick Jagger having a chat while watching the game.After this shot,it had then dawned that the world is indeed here.
*AROUND THE WORLD
1. The release from house arrest of the Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi,which brought joy not only to the people of Burma but to all freedom loving people around the world.It was a release that gave the people of Burma hope that things can get better.
2. The Nobel Prize Committee standing firm in its decision to award this year's Nobel Peace Prize to the jailed Chinese dissident -Mr Liu Xiaobo .He was given the prize for his fighting for basic human rights in his home country.China responded to this awarding by complaining and making threats.To which the Prize Committee said,"Suit yourself".
A nice touch from the Committee was an empty chair at the awards ceremony where Liu Xiaobo would have sat if he was not behind bars.
*ON A PERSONAL NOTE
1. The decision by yours truly to leave my 9 to 5 job to go and focus on the Feel Good Movement project.Admittedly it has been a difficult year.Even painful at times.But I have no regrets.I have learned a lot in this period.
There is no 'ho checha ha ramo' here.I am going forward.
While at it,I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to my family(Shadrack,Duduzile,Teboho,Thato and Tumelo) for the hardship that this 'going on my own' thing caused them.I will make it up to you guys.Of this,I have no doubt.
2. The support we are continuing to get from my 'kasi'(Protea North) people as far as the buying of our FGM t-shirts is concerned.It has been humbling to see most of them buying the t-shirts without even first checking what our website was all about.They simply took my word for it.
"Much appreciated,ladies and gentlemen."
MAY WE ALSO WISH ALL OUR FGM BLOG READERS A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A PROSPEROUS 2011.MAY YOUR MOST CHERISHED DREAMS COME TRUE IN THE NEW YEAR.

Our FEEL GOOD poem of the year:
This Show
_________
This show in India,
This show in Delhi,
Must go on.
Unfinished villages,
Or not.
Security fears,
Or not.
This show,
That is the Commonwealth Games,
Has to go on.
The naysayers will say their bit.
They said it with South Africa.
But this show,
This show in Mahatma's country,
Should,must,and will go on.
Uppish athletes,or not.
