So Long: A Poetry by Kevin Isaac

I know you’re gone But I still hear your laughter ringing off the walls. I feel you intently as your fresh, hearty giggles stop by for a light breakfast. I still remember the lyrical softness of French music playing in the background as its rhythms dance tenderly with warm images of you on my mind.

Following the current situation of flooding, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa declared a “national emergency” on Monday, April 18, 2022. As per the reports, dozens of people are still missing.

The condition of people in the country is getting worse, as they are left out of food, water and electricity. Rescue operations are being run by the South African Police Service and the South African National Defence Force (SANDF). The reports are that, in the ongoing week, 10,0000 military troops will be joining the rescuing operations going on in South Africa.

“Let us all work together, as a united and determined nation, to recover and rebuild from this tragic disaster. May God bless South Africa and protect its people. There is still so much more that needs to be done to restore homes, lives and livelihoods. We thank the religious community for their prayers and words of comfort over the Easter weekend. We welcome the support that other provinces have provided in the form of technical expertise and other disaster assistance to KwaZulu-Natal,” statement of South African President as he addressed the general public yesterday.
