World gone Mad – Let ’ s Focus on the Good !

Politicians have been dominating the media recently some with negative views and even disturbing policies . World economies are going through challenging times with Brexit , appointment of Trump contrary to the polls , shaky Chinese markets and a European refugee crisis . In South Africa we have our own set of political and economic challenges . We know without problems we cannot grow as individuals or as a nation .
