Review-Opening of Parliament 14 June'24
Historic Day- Allow me to indulge!

Grateful to be part of 2024 media team, documenting the new Government elect...again since 1994 - over 30 yr period!
Honoured to have met Madiba, Father of our Nation, who modelled the way for collective governance.
Encouraged to see his legacy being fulfilled. New young vibrant members sworn into National Parliament.
One such Honorary Member, once a student, whose school photo I took, when she was in primary school. Almost as proud as her mom to again document her milestone, an important role in voicing the views of our youth.
Inspired by a waive of New Hope, as expressed by re-elected President Ramaphosa.
Photographing and interacting on personal level with new NP members, expressing desire to uplift our Nation, shared by all, not for the selfish!
A diverse, colorful, vibrant people who differ on certain issues, but unite when it matters most!!
Amongst political drama, suspense and comedy, look fwd to documenting our new era.
Our Legacy- Our Heritage
