An African's Reflections. Reflections from the southern tip of Africa. Social Justice and an Appetite for Beautiful Stories. October 30, 2014. We don’t need to look too far to spot some kind of injustice in society. Just the other day, I spoke to a man working for the government in Mpumalanga (South Africa). Their health department is currently under administration. Instead of the R 120 per person allowed for departmental catering, one catering company asked R 500 per personand they got paid! Put your mo...

An African's Reflections. Reflections from the southern tip of Africa. To Braai or Not to Braai (with them), that is the Question…. September 26, 2014. September 26, 2014. Many South Africans celebrated their heritage a few days ago. This national holiday is called Heritage Day, but I wouldn’t be surprised if many people (children especially) refer to this day as National Braai Day. I was invited to spend Heritage Day with a crazy mix of peopleand meat! Jesus didn’t forsake his own heritage. He atten...

Stewardship of More or Less « An African's Reflections.

An African's Reflections. Reflections from the southern tip of Africa. Stewardship of More or Less. October 17, 2014. About a week ago an informal settlement in Kya Sands, near Johannesburg, suffered a terrible blow when about 500 shacks caught fire. About 2000 people were left homeless. Unfortunately, because many shacks in informal settlements in South Africa are built very close to each other, occurrences like the recent fire in Kya Sands are quite common. Maybe that is why Jesus didn’t have too many ...

An African's Reflections. Reflections from the southern tip of Africa. Watch Out for the Comparison Trap! August 21, 2014. I have always been a big rugby fan. I can recall some Saturdays where my brother, my father and I would watch rugby games from 9 in the morning until 9 in the evening (I really wouldn’t recommend this to anyone! In the networks that I am a part of, I regularly rub shoulders with some pretty awesome people. People who embody the Kingdom of God in beautiful ways. People who hav...The p...

What do our reactions to SONA and 50 Shades of Grey say? « An African's Reflections.
https://anruliebenberg.wordpress.com/2015/02/16/what-do-our-reactions-to-sona-and-50-shades-of-grey-say
An African's Reflections. Reflections from the southern tip of Africa. What do our reactions to SONA and 50 Shades of Grey say? February 16, 2015. I am, however, not convinced that our reactions to the things that worry us, are always helping. Many peoples’ reaction to the State of the Nation and the chaos that erupted, sends a clear message: our nation is going up in flames, and there is nothing that we can do about it. Although we have many serious issues, we cannot afford to start believing our ow...
