The Rotary Club of Wynberg’s editorial featured a message from Jeremy Mackintosh, Managing Director of Polyoak Packaging, shared by Dave Barnard. Mackintosh’s note, sent to employees and republished in the newsletter, urged readers to adopt a positive outlook amid national challenges. “We have a great constitution,” he wrote, acknowledging political frustrations but emphasizing resilience. He drew parallels to historical figures like Winston Churchill and Nelson Mandela, arguing that South Africa’s strength lies in its people’s collective effort. “Count your blessings,” he urged, highlighting everyday perseverance—early mornings, education, and community building—as evidence of national fortitude.
