Dear Weekender family,
Who would have foreseen just last week that the situation would turn out like this?
As I write ‘I hope that you are all doing well and staying as safe and healthy as you possibly can’, I have in mind not only COVID19 but also the unrest that I hope will stop soon. These are scary times and my thoughts and our prayers go out to the victims and families of the victims of this unfortunate series of events.
I would like to emphasize, again, that The Weekender is BusinessDay’s Saturday publication, and we strive to be an intersection between business, lifestyle and living. While the Weekender will continue to be a much-needed light stories weekly, this week, we can only focus on acknowledging the challenging times we are living in and express sympathy for the victims of this protest that started off peacefully.

Not all heroes wear capes, and in the midst of all of these unfortunate events we want you to get to know DJ Switch, the popular DJ who showed bravery during the protests, while providing aid to injured Nigerian protesters amidst the shooting. She bravely showed the world what was happening through her IG live which was watched by over 100, 000 people. We also have our weekly news update, some interesting art, some tips for health during this time.
Hopefully the situation will improve, and we are praying for a renewed sense of security and hope.
Please do take care during this stressful time and continue to respect the physical distancing measures and wash your hands often to stay safe and healthy, even during curfew.
With gratitude,
