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

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 ...

Help And Advise Can Come From Any Corner

Life is a School created by God for people to learn from each other. Each person belongs to a different class and standard and each person will have parents, friends, acquaintances or associates and the church to guide them through various stages of personal challenges in order to grow. The process of personal growth for each person alive will comprise of 6 phases or areas of life that form the basis and foundation for overcoming life's obstacles and individual tests assigned by Angels to ensure each one complies and abides by divines rules and laws of nature before we pass on to the next world. God will place people around us as advisers, personal coaches, teachers, friends good or bad and parents as resources to get around some of the difficult passages. The only differences between people who succeed in life and those who fail completely is the following. "When you get stuck on the road without a wheel spanner or spare tyre in your car - raise your hands or red flack ...

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 ...

Looting Is Criminal - Yet Bad Is Good If GOOD Over Powers The BAD

You need bad people in a society - To make good people look bad. You also need good people in a society - To make bad people feel good. If you make bad people look good in a bad situation, what's the point of having good people feel bad, in good places - other than knowing all people can be good in bad situations and that good people can make a bad situation to look better if not great again, when ordinary citizens take responsibility to correct the situation? ANC Politicians hijack bad situations, to try make them look good in the face of chaos & despair to earn accolades for a bad situation they've created. They thrive on human suffering & ignorance of the masses. Remember their incompetency, poor leadership and improper planning, cheating and lying it's a fulltime career to remain in power while they loot differently from ordinary citizens with tenders?. To them, their families, friends and party political members- #unemployment #poverty, # death #Looting means...

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...
