Thin line between Good and Evil

I am writing this blog dedicating to my cousin 's 10 year old baby who accidentally was hit with a stick and the baby was admitted at the hospital. As I am writing this blog, he is late. He was hit by his uncle, Walter, who is my cousin and the brother of the mother of the baby. Walter and his sister had argument about their younger brother who just came from the mountains and his presents and somehow the sister slapped Walter who apparently had a stick on him, he instantly reacted by trying to… Continue

Responsible... For what?

I have been in Somerset East for three weeks now and the thing that stands out most is that there is a problem with taking responsibility. And then I don’t mean the responsibility of who takes care of what, but the responsibility we have to ourselves. The first and most important thing which you need in order to achieve something in life, is to take good care of yourself. Everything you do has an effect on your environment and therefore the first priority lies at the outcome of your own…

Thank You

Nothing can express how I feel about the historic day yesterday after the lads from Siyabuswa, Libangeni and Coveregence Partners went to tour Johannesburg and end up watching the Vodacom final game together in Coca Cola Park. The spirit, the laughter, the sharing of Jokes, sharing of ideas, lifestyles etc is just what Mzansi should be irrespective of the socio-economic classes, gender or racial differences.  Big thank you to Brandon, Idan, Portia, Yoli and the team for not just giving… Continue

Air pollution

Schalk and I went to train to one of the informal settlements in Benoni area on the 28/June /11. We arrived there around 16h30 but you could barely see someone in a distance of over 60m simply because of the coal smoke coming from the shacks. Things got worse when we started training with our new family because one could inhale the smoke deeply and even my friend started coughing. The lovely people in this settlement have no electricity hence they choose to go for this alternative to keep… Continue

Control

One of the recent years' issue bothering me has been the issue of control. I always witness how much damage as individuals we cause out there by getting into people's spaces thorough control. And in some unfortunate instances some individuals respond by self protection or rather say fight or lose it through temper ad hence most end up doing damage or offense and end up into violence or jail. If it doesnt end up either that way, you either make one feel like dirty simply because one can be… Continue

Ambitious

Today the world we are living at is very tricky. People are killing, stealing and destroying people 's lives(directly and indirectly) for money and so called 'survival'. We are enriching ourselves through destroying our own brothers and sisters ' lives. We tend to value more, the material, money, our egos, our foolish ambitions than our fellows' lives and worse our own lives. Where is the loyalty today, honesty etc. Today is money first and we shall see later in terms of morals. No more… Continue

Rudolph live on Carte Blanche

Schalk and I were overwhelmed when we saw one of our humble friend, leader, FSSA Board member, Rudolph talking about how to make to make SA a better place to live and why individuals behave in a certain and all these were deducted from his amazing research. I personally being a victim of the circumstances in SA as everyone and coming from challenging environment and exposed to lot of things he was talking about, I was just nodding my head every second agreeing with everything he said.…

Public drivers and Policemen in action

Judgement day as it was called (21 May 2011), a day which can be always remembered in South African football. Jane furse was not different ,the public drivers took on the policemen in a beautiful game of soccer at the new artificial ground. It was a warm afternoon in j-town when the drama of the beautiful game took its toll. People loved it and i couldn't agree more myself.

Caring for Growth

I like to think the youth of today, has the ability to contribute tremendously towards their development. As I go back in time and gaze upon the triumphant stories of people who made the best of what they had, whose spirit lives on to inspire us today, I believe that we too can still write our own triumphant stories. They are the heroes that we look up to as role models and legends, but they didn’t start out with celebrated victories. They too were just like me and you, starting out in life… Continue

Voting 18 May

I just voted. Luckily the queues were not too long and it went quick, but I was willing to stand there for 3 or 4 hours. 

Our country is a democracy and the most powerful thing we have is the ability for each citizen to make a cross. That is the foundation of everything. If a person does not vote they have no right to complain or to demand.

So, I want to provoke and say there are two groups of South Africans: those citizens who vote and are part of the process and those who do…

Real SA in action

I could not stop thinking about one of the most remarkable encounter in my life where the guys and girls from Sandton and successful (working for Convergence Partners) were mingling and having good times with the champs from Siyabuswa and Libangeni. They all played football in a bushy and thorny field, falling everywhere tackling each other, making jokes and the girls hanging out with the other girls and using open roof toilets and teaching each other computers. They shared KFC together.… Continue
