A South African Murmur

South Africa

My place of birth, my country, my home. 
Two little words that conjure up so many mixed emotions.
It is a country with a turbulent past.
An electric present.
An unknown future. 
On a daily basis, I can swing from being wildly positive to despairingly cynical. 
Yet something keeps me here. Something keeps many people here. 
Plodding along the daily grind. 
Are we hopeful?
Or are we just keeping our heads down?

Is belief enough?
