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

Talent Search To Reduce High Unemployment Rate In South Africa For Struggling Citizens

South Africa's job marketing, prospects for in 2021 was a bad and serious issue that continues to affect our economy. A majority of our South African unemployed citizens have talent that is underutilized. Some of their gift's and potential is slowly decaying. I guess this might be because of laziness or poor advise from peers. Lack of mentorships and guidance from proactive teachers, parents, schools and adults. Complacency and poor judgement about the future has affected their point of view to align themselves with world needs, to cope. Let alone mixing with a bad company to end addiction.

Rising from the Ashes: A Call to Rebuild South Africa

The Crossroads of Hope and Despair Dear fellow South African Citizens I sit and write on my computer today, not as a great leader, but as a humble voice, echoing the dreams of those who came before us. Our beloved South Africa finds itself at a crossroads, where the shadows of despair threaten to engulf the light of hope. The ANC, once a symbol of liberation, has faltered, and our nation stands on the precipice of a calamity. But let us remember, even in the darkest of hours, that the power to change lies within us, the sons and daughters of this magnificent land. We are the architects of our destiny, and together, we can salvage and save our beloved nation. Ubuntu: The Spirit of Togetherness First, let us unite as one people, transcending the divisions that have plagued us. Let us remember the spirit of Ubuntu, for in unity, we find strength. No matter your background, race, or creed, we are all South Africans, bound by a shared dream of prosperity and peace. Education: The Key to Our...

Does Anyone Care About How You Feel Today?

One of my oddest dreams when I was young was to become an army commander to take charge of an army and issue orders and tough instructions. Sort of like boss everyone around and smite those who don’t seem to obey my orders. This would be awesome powers I thought to myself. What a pipe dream this was, to entertain but, I was young and entitled to dream. At school I was bullied by this huge guy who had big muscles, big head, big hands I mean this fellow was built like a huge monster- Hulk. Bullying 101 Is Not Cool! Every time I saw him I would freeze like a twig. The world became very bleak, but my biggest fantasy was to possess the power to shrink or evaporate at will when I snapped my fingers. This chap would terrorize the hell out of all of us who were small and tiny. I was unable to run or shout when he took my lunch or sweets during the lunch break, as if this guy had super powers to control my existence. This was one of my worst nightmares growing up. Although he bullied 2/3rd...

Isaac Khonjelwayo Paintings and Art Collection reminisce the fight against Apartheid - Since 1976. On my arrival at the South African refugee camp I was received and hosted by Mr. Lefifi Tladi & Khush.

They were custodians and important political hosts who connected local guys with overseas escape travels and routes to Africa and parts of USA, Canada and UK. They showed me around the camp and who was who from South Africa in Gaborone - Botswana. The camp was truly a place of solace for these youth who got displaced in the capsule of time.
