MY PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY

The town that I am currently working in is Grahamstown, a small town in the Eastern Cape mainly known as the City of Saints. A large part of Grahamstown’s wealth is supplied by Rhodes University even though Rhodes students tend to isolate themselves from the wider Grahamstown. This town has got a rich cultural history for all races and one can see the scars of apartheid. Most black people are still living in shacks or in small RDP houses. There is also still a wide gap between the haves and the have-nots. It is also known for having some of the best learning institutions and attractions such as the National Arts Festival, Scifest Africa and Highway Africa which attract people from all walks of life to this small town.
