I can only say I applaud each and every word written in this post and would like t add this thought. Has the time not come for us to set up an investment institution to help develop and fund our fledgeling but very creative industry. Or in a truly South African way lets start a Stokvel. Aye Lassie

It is a loner's dream! Allows one to practice visualisation. Temporal = Action = Energy = missed putt. I like golf. It is a loner’s dream! Allows one to practice visualisation.

Since my return from the UK I have started championing the creation of a silicon Valley for SA. The only difference is that my idea is <a href="http://www.imel.co.za/?p=12" rel="nofollow">without geographical bounds</a> and will (as long as Telkom and Neotel play along) work almost everywhere. (I do however have a <b>strong</b> preference for the Garden Route, as it is fast filling with creative entrepreneurs, just waiting for a business / technology incubator to set up shop. Anyway, enough self promotion. I agree with you wholeheartedly, SA has some of the greatest minds and need not stand back for anyone. As you say, our unstoppable perseverance pays off now and then, and something might just happen. Max, Seems like great minds think alike.
