Empty Handed The Next Day

In softness the spirit is hard
and in hardness there is no
spirit that is soft!
Tough life is God’s love
God’s love is life on the verge!
If life is earned in good faith
and through honest hard efforts

Success and Rewards should be
celebrated with the same spirit
without trying to steal from the Creator!
Our greatest moments on earth
are best expressed and remembered
through our native silent language
Our tears of joy!
To know we can over-come

To be grateful that we are humans
is to honour the confidence of Archangels
who bestowed upon us with the crown to be
Kings and Queens of this creation
With this responsibility we should
act and respect the part that we play
Lest we perish empty-handed the next day
And disgrace the titles and names we carry
on our heads and shoulders

Be a responsible leader and account
for your good and bad deeds
Other smaller species in creation
and citizens in dire need look up to you
for inspiration, guidance and protection
Allow the legacy and footprints of your
Kingship to speak for itself!
To remind us of how you applied your wisdom
to rule and share the wealth of your country with your people

City of Johannesburg Money Laundering Schem

City of Johannesburg Money Laundering Schem The Futility of Interrogations. When parliament summons a mayor like Dada Morero to “account” for billions written off, it performs a ritual more than a reckoning. It is theatre: the appearance of oversight without the substance of consequence. In a system where corruption rarely leads to removal, prosecution, or restitution, the interrogation becomes a hollow drumbeat — noise without rhythm. The lesson the mayor learns is not accountability, but endurance: how to sit through questioning, how to deflect, how to survive until the next scandal eclipses the current one. The Nation’s Lesson South Africans watching this charade absorb a bitter truth: corruption has become normalized, qualifications are irrelevant, and loyalty to party outweighs competence. The nation learns cynicism, resignation, and distrust. The image projected to the world is of a country where governance is a masquerade, where municipalities are staffed by the unqua...

From Jungle to Paradise: Cultivating a Thriving South Africa for All

Introduction: The metaphors of "jungle" and "garden" aptly capture the current state and desired future of South Africa. A nation brimming with diverse potential, yet entangled in challenges, needs a transformative approach to unlock its true potential. This essay draws inspiration from "From Jungle to Garden: Transforming South Africa's Diversity into Productivity" while tailoring it to a broader vision: creating a "paradise" for every value-adding individual. Beyond Manifestos: Understanding the Human Soil Manifestos alone are insufficient. We must delve deeper, analyzing the quality of individuals attracted by each party and their citizen empowerment programs. This is crucial, for a fertile "garden" requires diverse, skilled, and engaged citizens. International Investment: Nourishing the Growth South Africa's journey to paradise cannot be undertaken alone. International financial investment is vital, but simply attracting ...

Mzansi - Allegory of the Broken Crown

Allegory of the Broken Crown In the beginning, South Africa was carved as a jewel from the bones of the earth. Her rivers were veins of gold, her mountains altars of stone, her people the chorus of a thousand tongues. She was crowned with promise, a queen among nations. But thieves crept into her palace. They wore the robes of leaders, yet their hands were stained with hunger for power. They feasted at her table, not as guardians but as gangsters. They drank her wine, squandered her treasures, and laughed as her children starved. The crown slipped, not because it was stolen, but because it was neglected. The Parliament became a theatre — a hall of mirrors where questions were asked but never answered. The mayor, the ministers, the councillors: all actors in a play where accountability was a ghost. The people watched, weary, knowing the script by heart. The interrogations were rituals of smoke, not fire. Yet beneath the rot, the prophets whispered. They saw two futures: The Gangste...
