Athena is the ancient Greek goddess associated with wisdom.
Since the Renaissance, Athena has become an international symbol of human endeavour - wisdom, the arts, and classical learning. Western thought & philosophy have often used Athena as a symbol of freedom and democracy.
A statue of Athena stands directly in front of the Austrian Parliament building in Vienna and depictions of Athena have influenced other symbols of Western freedom, including the Statute of Liberty in New York. We need more women like her!
Thuli Madonsela, our previous Public Protector was our Athena – our Woman in Gold.
FOOLS NO MORE
FOOL ME ONCE is currently one of the most popular series on Netflix. As voters we feel the same – NO MORE. Like in ancient Greece, we only need the trilogy of the VOTER [us], the MAGISTRATE [justice] and the ORATOR [the elected leader] – a simple but effective structure of democracy to carry us forward; free of clowns & dictators.
CHOICE is a powerful tool – use it wisely when you vote this year.
