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

Hope To Stand Tall During Eskom Crisis is Our Ultimate Resort

My Fellow South African Citizens, Hope to stand tall during Eskom crisis is our ultimate resort. As we work to overcome the crisis of providing electricity services, we must also address the other issues that plague our nation. Crime, looting, corruption, nepotism, gangsterism and discrimination are all cancers that threaten to destroy our society from within. The ANC's solution to the electricity crisis? A candlelight policy meeting . To fight these evils, we must take action at all levels of society. As individuals, we must strive to be good citizens, standing up against corruption and discrimination whenever we see it. We must report crimes and suspicious behavior to the authorities, and work to build safer communities by fostering trust and cooperation among our neighbors. But we cannot rely solely on individual efforts. We must also work together as a society to address these issues. This means supporting our law enforcement and judicial systems, so that they can effectively c...

Potential Naturena Primary Transport Accident - Post 2000

It doesn't take a fool to know and to read between the lines or see signs of danger when children together with adults ignore Joburg City By-law street signs and simple road safety precautions to avoid a major disaster. For the last past 20 years I watched and observed Naturena School children, their siblings, mothers, motorists, taxi drivers, brothers and little sisters; cross the road toward the school without observing the stop signs and cross roads rules. Slowly It Builds Up Like A Preparation - For A Terrible Potential Disaster Waiting To Happen: Malta, Natuur and Vesting street in Naturena are high traffic congested roads in the mornings from 06:00 a.m. and 13:30 p.m. In between during the day you have taxis driving like crazy rogues not observing and adhering to the stop signs. From 03:00 pm to 06:00 p.m. it picks up again with afternoon traffic madness of homeowners coming back from work. Residents too do not seem to care much about safety and precaution...

As the most difficult person to please, you did your best in the most trying of circumstances and I'm proud of you all. A few of you hated me, but the majority liked me. It's not unusual...

My Political Contribution To South Africa's Liberation Against Apartheid Struggle

My Political Contribution of Art Exhibitions To South Africa's Liberation Against Apartheid Struggle. 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. Lefifi was from Garankuwa and Khush, his colleague as I had known him came from Soweto somewhere in Tladi or Naledi. 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. I was relieved to see my cousin Simon Kgasi, he too was shocked to see me. Lefifi Tladi and Khush interviewed me to establish my plan and intentions for coming to Botswana. They explained the rules and conditions...

Naturena P. School Urgent Call for Action: Ensuring Safety and Order in Our Neighborhood

Dear Naturena Primary School, Principal, Parents, JMPD, Councillor, SGB, and School Transport Drivers, I pen this letter with a heavy heart and a sense of urgency, imploring all stakeholders to heed the call for immediate action regarding the safety and well-being of our community, particularly around the vicinity of Corner Vesting and Malta Streets NATURENA near the UJ student residences . For far too long, our neighborhood has been plagued by a myriad of issues that compromise the safety, cleanliness, and tranquility of our surroundings. For years now, concerned residents and parents have been raising alarm bells regarding the chaos and disorder that ensue during peak hours, especially in the mornings and after school hours. The situation has reached a tipping point, with our streets congested by school transport vehicles, children left vulnerable to potential accidents, and our once-pristine gardens littered with refuse and discarded sweets. If You Were In My Shoes - Would'nt ...
