A Shared Future for all

Choosing Hope &
Not Fear

We have no future unless it is a Shared Future – it is in our own interests to work to help others achieve their goals and to provide for their families. It is in our own interests to build and not to destroy, to forgive and not to hate, to be sensitive and gracious in the face of other people’s pain and hurt. These are things often easier said than done but we have proven on occasion that we are up to the challenge – we can do it if we choose to!

“It is unusual to find a book in which a politician expresses so gracefully her public choices in relation to a simple life of faith. Written without the usual rancour and bitterness of retiring politicians, Cheryllyn Dudley offers a moving tribute to her adopted country that leaves one with a sense of hope even as the frightening challenges of the present are laid bare. Funny and serious, honest and forgiving...”

Jonathan Jansen Professor of Faculty of Education at Stellenbosch
"Africans subscribing to the misguided perception that politics and religion do not and cannot mix MUST read this book. With a remarkable 20-year track record as a Member of Parliament, Cheryllyn boldly expounds on her personal experiences while working from within the democratic-era Parliamentary Chambers. An awesome read indeed!"
Kapari Moraka

“The honesty in this book creates an integrity that is much needed in politics today. Cheryllyn has an amazing ability to address issues without dehumanising people. I have learnt so much and am filled with hope for the future.”
