Congratulations to Lesley and my new colleagues at NMMMU - although I can see that Lesley's email is NWU and I am puzzeled if she/you left NMMU?. I am saying my new colleagues as the Psychology Department at NMMMU very kindly agreed to host my South African National Research Foundation's (NRF) fellowship. The fellowship was very kindly awarded to me to test, pilot and develop my applied dialectical method and publish it. I shall be heading to NMMMU at the end of this month. I worked hard to get this fellowship as I have been extremely impressed by NMMMU and its research, especially on the development of the psychologist. I am hoping to do my bit to minimise the mess the evil apartheid - which sadly, as the equally evil Jim Crow Laws can testify, is not unique to S.A - caused. I have chosen the new South Africa as it is presently the only country on earth that gives me hope and energy and less cynicism.
