Dear Marlene,

It is wonderful to hear from you.

I wish I could have been in the gathering that celebrated Mpho's wedding where you sang. I can only imagine the joy you brought to the occasion.

Thank you for the article and thank you to Shanil for producing such a tribute to generations of people who are proving that "humanity has no bounds for loving".

I have found the resource sharing on the DISABILITY-RESEARCH network amazingly helpful. As director of Khulumani with its over 100,000 members who have suffered so much mental (and physical) anguish, there is so much that is helpful in terms of dealing every day with the usually "invisible wounds" that so many in our country carry.

I am also sibling to a brother who developed multiple sclerosis and whom I accompanied over many years including the last year of his life, when he acquired the brain tumour that eventually caused his death; and to a sister who is now 60 and has lived with the consequences of birth trauma her whole life.

Sending much love and warm congratulations for your much-deserved appointment as CEO of ARTSCAPE.

Sincerely,

Marje

Dear Tsitsi,

I am suggesting that my colleague, Ms Marlene le Roux, who is CEO of Artscape Theatre in Cape Town, be approached.

Marlene is disabled from childhood polio. She wrote a book on disability, gender and sexuality involving interviews that she had with women with disabilities. The book is called LOOK AT ME.

Here are her contact details: Ms Marlene le Roux Artscape Director: Audience Development & Education +27 82 464 3751; Tel: +27 21-410-9800 and +27 21 410-9845 and email: [log in to unmask]

Dear colleagues

I got a contract to write a handbook and the title is:

Routledge Handbook of Disability in Southern Africa

From the accepted abstracts, I have observed a gap in that there is no contribution on Disability, Gender and Sexuality, and the context should be the SADC region (one or more Southern African countries) . I am therefore calling upon contributors interested in this area to inbox me and then we take it up from there, most preferably, with a proposed topic and 3 or four lines indicating what this chapter will be about, and indicating their institutional affiliation. This is urgent, I would appreciate if I can get something by end of day tomorrow as I am pressed for time.

Routledge is a prestigious publishers and we are hoping to produce a ground-breaking product. I will only email to the individuals with the selected abstracts the book proposal with the rest of the book chapters.

Regards

Tsitsi
