Frank Meintjies-Activist, Organiser, Writer, Explorer

I chatted to Frank a few months back when he was travelling through South-East Asia searching for "…the radical ubuntu that connects the marginalised around the world." We had a great chat and decided then to have a pre-election catch-up once the election was nearing.

Frank has been an activist and organiser for most of his adult life and offers a unique perspective on our current state and the future.

So we chatted a  little about ubuntu and about his journey through Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia. We chatted more about the current rather depressing state of the nation. "The centre is not holding". And we chatted a lot about his hope for the future and the possibilities for activism and change that come from a time of crisis. "Never become despondent and always be alive and looking for opportunities to engage and organise."
