Hello all, I am a 30-year-old South African who lives in Cape Town, South Africa. I count myself fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
I have a Bachelor of Business Administration degree (BBA) from
UNISA
, majoring in Communications and Business Management.
I love wildlife, nature, hiking, working out, reading, gardening, games, hanging out with friends, and good food.
I am interested in history (both human and natural) and nature, politics, business and current affairs of the world. I enjoy political satire, especially cartoons by Zapiro.
Books
I like reading books, both
Kindle Fire
. These are my favourite genres:
Fiction
1. Fantasy
Of this genre, I enjoy
Midkemia by Raymond E. Feist (such as the Riftwar trilogy), the Heritage of Shannara
Richard Dawkins's The Ancestor's Tale is an excellent book, if a little heavy with the amount of content.
2. History
Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel is another excellent book; it attempts to explain why Eurasian civilizations (in which he includes North Africa) have survived and conquered others, while refuting the assumption that Eurasian hegemony is due to any form of Eurasian intellectual, moral or inherent genetic superiority. Another book of his, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed, is another good read, and Diamond's exhortation to the reader is a good one, in my opinion: learn from history.
3. Environmental issues and the Human relationship with nature
I also frequent several platforms in addition to Wikipedia such as Reddit, Facebook, and Instagram. I follow several nature-oriented blogs, such as Tetrapod Zoology by Darren Naish, and take part in a couple of forums such as Carnivoraforum.
