HOPE Do you have hope for South Africa? I like t HOPE Do you have hope for South Africa? I like to think of myself as a hopeful person, but after hearing the news of @flymangosa grounding all their flights and requests for the company to be put under business rescue, I must admit that I didn't feel very hopeful about our country or its tourism industry. Still, I do believe in rising from the ashes - in fact, I believe in rising with more strength, more knowledge, more empathy and more faith than before. So, I might have felt a little hopeless this morning, but somehow we will get through this and we'll be better for it. Trust me. Don't give up HOPE. ๐Ÿ‘— @milkandhoneysa ๐Ÿ“ท @hanneritakesportraits ๐Ÿ’„ @eve.image #hope #inspiration #southafrica #mangoairlines #mango #flights #news #tourism #tourismindustry #aviation
