No man' s Ransom

The article written by Michael Harris about Fisheries Scientist Ransom Myers is a wonderful piece and tribute to the work of a man who did not give in to politics at the cost of his fellow people...

These are the people who lead - I wonder if our political leaders still remember what their calling was?

I received this comments from a Sue's Blog reader on the column...

Sue,
I know you've read some of the many tributes being paid to Ransom Myers as well as the many reminders of the shoddy manner in which he was treated.

Nothing illustrates better the wicked political expediency masquerading in the halls of power under the guise of democracy.

I remember the support we got from this man back at the time when some of us were fighting like hell trying to save Main River from the greedy clutches of Kruger. His legacy will live on as an inspiration for those who while knowing they are fighting against the odds, refuse to surrender.

Lloyd.
