Very true, Koinz! It also wears a more distinguished mask in certain places.

I trully concur head on . if you would take a trip down your memory lane , and scrounge the archives therein , me(2004)” yo brown, the rasicm in this school is disappointing , i wish i could come back to Cape Town” . lol , not that there’s no racism there, but then i think i was too young and innocent to see it readily.

the point im making here is that some areas have “it” more concentrated( if i may ) than other areas, who have “it” at a more graduated level (intelligent), as you mention in your ‘piece’.

Thanks for sharing this special moment, Ryan. It’s a great loss, but as everyone seems to be saying, he is now at peace. I guess what matters is what we do from here to help the other kids that are out there… Up for a chat sometime soon?

A great tribute Brown!! It really saddens me with the kids having to die so young, and I can’t help but ask if we did enough to make a difference. What more could’ve been done to save them from dying the way they do….. But at the end of the day, God knows best. I’ll remember Zackie for the fun and energetic kid he was and I must say, his life was blessed having you as a friend and big brother.
