Wrecking Ball: Why permanent technological unemployment, a predictable pandemic and other wicked problems will end South Africa’s experiment in inclusive democracy

A Powerhouse of the Spirit: The Life and Art of Sister Margaret Watson of Grahamstown
Item type: Books • Author: William BarhamA Powerhouse of the Spirit tells the story of a remarkable woman, Margaret Watson, who left her conventionally middle-class home in England to join an Anglican sisterhood in Grahamstown (now known as Makhanda) in what was then the Cape Colony at the start of the twentieth century. This extraordinary community of inspiring women engaged themselves in educational and caring work among young people of all races in South Africa. They built an impressive network of schools, orphanages and homes across the subcontinent that left their mark both nationally and in countless individual lives. It was in this community of dedicated women that Margaret Watson found fulfilment and self-expression both spiritually and artistically. Her work as a painter, whose vision was nourished by her inner life, is becoming increasingly recognised and appreciated.
