Soweto in a nutshell a dream in a suitcase Podcast

Soweto in a nutshell. A dream in a suitcase Podcast EP 69. When fate ties you into a knot – What do you do? Soweto in a nutshell is a preview of Life in Soweto South Africa and a mindset of a new breed of creatures who seek something great and good for nothing, perhaps even free without paying a price for it. Yet! It is not about the entire history of Soweto, as it would not do justice to depict the
true history of Soweto.

Rather, this observation and the understudy of my people is a short representation of glimpses of its authentic strives and thrives, i.e. my heart-felt rhythms of its biological clock and the mixture of modern day blues. It is about the plight and courage of a people that stood to fight for an ideal purpose in life.

This was in the early days of political struggle in South Africa. The 60’s until the 80’s was a bleak period in the history of African people in South Africa under Apartheid. Our people were able to learn to stand together united by a common goal to overcome adversity, and the hatred instigated by white people – just because we were dark skinned.

We had challenges, but rose above and beyond limitations defined by destiny of a political agenda through a sick system of government injustice called “Discrimination In The Name Of Apartheid”. This was an institutionalized class and caste division called “Separate Development” of African people according to their culture and traditions, and residential allocations in various townships and cities, from living with other race groups in the country.

Only to end up in 2018 with fragmented communities and tribes of individuals who are battling to make ends-meet. Their leaders amass and secure wealth and riches at the expense of stealing and disguising their looting in the name of BEE - BBBEEE laziness to thrive on poor leadership and chaos the country is facing today.

In this journal my effort since 1994 is to try and crystallize the important parables of its pulse and unique blend of human strength and integrity of character in a way. To paint the inner and outer kaleidoscope of my observations to unravel but the basic unending, yet intertwined mystery of its unfolding yet unlimited but, complicated tapestry; I would like to call living under the “Fallacy Of A Faked Democracy” of 1994 elections.

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 ...

Waves Of Turbulent Waters Art

Waves of turbulent waters art, by Isaac Khonjelwayo. Isaac has not exhibited his works before except in his house in Diepkloof Soweto to try attract interested art lovers and buyers, poor attendance made him retreat from his sacred pastime love of drawing. In the meantime he continued to draw until he felt the climate was conducive for him to start exhibiting. Mr. I. Khonjelwayo contributed a collection of his large paintings as a donation to ANC comrades who skipped the country in 1976 to settle in Botswana. His paintings went on auctioned to raise funds in Botswana’s Russian Embassy. A group of South African ANC and PAC comrades had to skip Botswana from South Africa’s notorious BOSS (Bureau Of State Security) which pursued and hunted all political activists to be brought back to the country to face persecution or torture. The theme of this album is called “ Waves of turbulent waters ” these were the early days of my art works from 1975 to late 80’s. ...

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 ...

The Great Escape: S.A. Seek Refuge in Zimbabwe amidst ANC 2024 Election Win.

The Great Escape: South Africans Seek Refuge in Zimbabwe amidst ANC Election Win. In a bizarre turn of events, South Africans find themselves at the crossroads of destiny as the ANC emerges victorious in the 2024 elections. Business economists are shaking in their boots, predicting a downward spiral mirroring the fate of Zimbabwe, a scenario many South Africans had never fathomed. The burning question on everyone's mind is: where will South Africans flee across the border to escape the impending doom of poverty, decay, and perpetual corruption. The stage is set for an exodus of epic proportions as citizens ponder their escape routes. It seems that the grass on the other side of the Limpopo River is looking increasingly greener. But is it really, or are South Africans merely trading one set of problems for another? In a comedic twist of fate, some citizens are considering making the ultimate sacrifice by seeking refuge in none other than Zimbabwe. Yes, you read that correctly – the ...
