Why do hustlers succeed in almost anything they do, is it because they are always in a mode to work, or is it because they have the resources, or do they have more hours to work than others, or is it because they are old and they have knowledge, is it because they have connections or they know people in high places, or are they are blessed, or are they favored, Noooooo...

No one is always in a mode to work, waking up at 04:00 am, is a commitment, whether you fill like it or…

CRIME an CORRUPTION

There's a supermarket next to my place and it has been robbed four times. The first time, robberers broke in through the roof, removing the roof sheets. They took airtime and other food goodies, they also damaged some mealiemeal leaving the store in a massive mess. Nobody saw them because it was midnight and people were all sleeping. They only saw in the morning when the owners came to open for the day. The second time was in the afternoon and people were still roaming around on the streets…

Learn to strike challenges

“I learned, there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead, others come from behind. But I’ve bought a big bat to strike a ball. I’m all ready, you see. Now my troubles are going to have trouble with me.”

You can also buy your own bat.

AN INCREASING CRIME RATE IN OUR AREA

I live in the area where when we were growing up, the elders will be telling you that is the peaceful place of them all. The name of the place was called Phomolong at first then the name was changed to Intabazwe on the late nineties. And the reason was that as we live at top of 42nd hill there has to be a Zulu o Sotho name that will compliment 42nd hill and the name was…

Courage

You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meat it with courage and with the best that you have to give. Courage is being willing to risk with the pain of failure in order to archive success.

VIDA REAL: REAL PEOPLE, GENUINE SOULS. Thank you for an amazing experience. The Power of Sports

My name is Bongiwe Nhleko, I come from a township called Meadowlands in Soweto. I am 25 years old and, have a young 3 year old daughter and I am extremely passionate about sports development.

I was extremely nervous at first as I was travelling to a…
