| Brief Bio (optional) | South-African award-winning journalist. Best Hard News journalist 2008 for original breaking stories on the "Blue-light" saga. A passionate writer at heart. I endeavour to remain poetic in an unpoetic world. My heart tells me what to say while my mind translates those thoughts into some semblance of poetic sense. As I purge all that I lament over and all that I hope for, words bring an unspoken solace and fills the empty pages of my soul. |
