The need to micromanage your life in order to create aesthetically pleasing or trendy #content for the #online world distracts us from truly engaging with the world around us, thus completely missing the true meaning of ‘living’. #quote #inspirationalquote #quoteoftheday

Gouws has been an active member of the #DA since 2012, yet only now have these videos come to light. The DA now faces irreparable damage to their #brandreputation and rapport amongst the population of #SouthAfrica, a country striving towards transformation and unity.
