BOOKS

Let me clarify one thing and get confusion out of the picture! I write and teach book publishing because it is the simplest form of self expression and self preservation. The reason I write books - is to prove and inspire anyone who can use a computer; how simple it is to use "MS Word" application to do mind mapping and conceptualization of ideas to create and write a book with MS Word Advance. It has a powerful TOC lesson that help  writers and authors accomplish and achieve this objective. Hence the term Self-Publishing for DIYer's incorporating "Time Management Principles".

Self Actualization Mission & Purpose:
Anyone who is alive and are able to read and write should at least leave something behind like a legacy when they depart from this world. This topic is not about death and why you will die. It is all about your personal awareness to your existence and the most important role you have played or have yet to play or undermine in your life to deserve a publishing contract. A majority of us will never make an attempt to tell their story while alive and ticking; simply because they think writing a book needs a special talent or a magic wand to warrant receiving an accolade. This is not true, the myth that you need to be “special and gifted” is just another fallacy to make you think your story is less important to you or us potential readers of your benevolent tale.

Self-Publishing for Proactive Individuals: 

Writing a book is no where difficult than it is learning a new skill. Like riding a bicycle or learning how to drive or cook delicious family meals. Everything in life is and has a learning curve and acquiring new skills requires a little more effort and time before one can master it as an art. Yes! Some people are more gifted and talented in writing excellent successful books than others. But this depends on which book genre one needs to exploit to discover their true calling.

Or we can debate this issue to try and find an excuse “why you can’t write” which leaves you with one option. Pretend you’re not alive and history will not remember who you were among people who walked this earth.  Any person willing to try writing as a career or hobby can become a successful full-time well paid reputable author if given a chance and the opportunity to try it out without being judgmental about it.

No One Is Born With Special Skills
Those that are born with any special skills to write and tell outstanding stories or display impeccable reporting ability for writing articles without exerting much effort are one in a million. Others like me have to learn this skill from ground up. This is purely because I want to explore new horizons of the unknown creative territories hidden in my mind and to push the limits, of my writing emotional resources to power up those who need inspiration to live on. South Africa's Bantu Education System and the current ANC poor Education Policies have suppressed and stifled our creative abilities to reach and exploit our true potential. 

People must defy the dictates of the Governments' poor 25 years leadership crisis. The education system of the ANC has exacerbated the situation, to a point where our children have become educated slaves. They possess Degrees & Qualifications that have no bearing to the country's skills shortage to match job audit requirements against the 4IR. That is why our economy is unable to absorb or compete internationally to create jobs for our South African youth.

African Legacy Restoration

On the other hand, one cannot dismiss the fact that everyone has some latent kind of a skill greater than others. E.g. if you’re not good at sports, maybe you are good at writing and reporting an incident in the form of a book. Whereas, on the overall scale of things those with basic literacy reading and writing abilities can improve it to become masters of the craft after years of experience and practice within their chosen discipline.

Background & History of These Books and Songs. 
In 2000, I helped set-up a music publication, production and a communication media company in Soweto- called Samablue Music Times. My vision was to organize a team of guys and girls to structure our vision and the local music industry in preparation to create exportable quality music. This was because the music scene was starved with creativity.
Complacency and lack of originality had always stifled the potential to export our music products overseas. Instead we rely on the current dying small local SA market and complain about the unprecedented piracy of our music by Chinese and Nigerian syndicates. Well! The project did not last long enough to reach its fruition, simply because some of the members of my association and talent scout wanted a quick fix and the instant gratification. 

The glamour and glory that go with being a music celebrity.

Beyond this plan; I made a mistakes of not involving our local radio DJ’s and to appoint a qualified and experienced or an influential spokes-person to sell my vision. Besides I was not business-smart at that time and matured enough to understand the dynamic power of political games of the music industry in that period. Racism and contracts manipulation, copyrights violation and infringement was prevalent and rife more than one could ever imagine.

Research has demonstrated that the differences in the level of digital literacy depend mainly on age and education level, while the influence of gender is decreasing (Hargittai, 2002; van Dijk, 2005; van Dijk and van Deursen, 2009). Among young people, in particular, digital literacy is high in its operational dimension (e.g. rapidly move through hypertext, familiarity with different kinds of online resources) while the skills to critically evaluate content found online show a deficit (Gui and Argentin, 2011).

Along the way we encountered hurdles and stumbling blocks, although, I personally invested a lot of emotion, intellectual, money and time on the project. I knew that if I slipped up I had a greater chance to lose out more than anyone else in the . In the same vein; if we win I would be very successful too in retrospect. As fate would have it, I was project Director, Financier and Print Publication Editor and Distributor and owner of “Samablue Music Times” communications. This project failed to take-off because my acquaintances where looking for quick-fixes and short term success. 
No one in my command wanted to share my vision to build sustainable products first and to collaborate with International talent. Instead everyone jumped ship- I was left alone to fight my own battles. Eventually I ended up with this publishing project HERE!

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.

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...

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.

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 .

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.

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...
