"How does it feel to be back?", I was asked more times than I can remember. And my answer, heartfelt and enthusiastic, was always, "Great!".

It was wonderful to be back in South Africa, my home from 2001 to 2006. It's a country full of inspiring people and places, and it is close to my heart. So why did my return also leave me with a sense of unease, a feeling that the country is in danger of losing its way?
