At its best,

Politics is the response to the mood of the people,

at its best.

At its worst,

Politics is the response to the mood of the people,

at its worst.

About Me

I'm Newton Fortuin, a 56-year-old from the vibrant city of Cape Town, South Africa. I'm blessed with two incredible children: my daughter Rori, who is 36 and works as an OBGYN in Cape Town, and my son Jarrod, a 32-year-old IT analyst at The Palms in Dubai.

Professionally, I lead as the CEO of Vekta Innovations, a trailblazing company at the forefront of health and wellness technology. Our flagship innovation, the KineDek, is a testament to our commitment to revolutionizing fitness and overall well-being. Through a mere 15-minute session per week, the KineDek promises users a significant boost in energy and vitality. This transformative technology is offered at our iBoost Studio, where we amalgamate cutting-edge tech with regenerative well-being principles.

Outside the boardroom, my passions are as diverse as they come. I thrive in the great outdoors and have an insatiable curiosity that drives me to write on a myriad of topics. From science and philosophy to politics and contemporary events, I'm constantly inspired by the world around me and love to pen down my thoughts on whatever catches my attention.
