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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
