Why the hell are praying and hoping for things to happen??? Huh? Who will make these things happened for you?? I know at church they teach that, but people are taking home half a lesson. You find people sitting around saying: “I hope this situation gets better” “I prayed, it will get better” For some reason people forget that the same bible said “ you reap what you sow ”. People must just stop looking for fault in things and making up excuses, we have to take responsibility of our lives. Let me teach those who don’t know how God set up this world. Before God left for his vacation in the other Galaxies, he set up everything, let’s take a farmer as an example. If the farmer ploughs his land, plants the seeds and rips off the weeds when it’s time to, he has a pretty good chance of having a beautiful harvest. He doesn’t have to make the sun shine, he doesn’t have to dance around some mountain calling for rain, he doesn’t have to make lightning strike the earth to lower

I am talking about a “Baby-Soft Double Ply” toilet paper roll. Let me take you through the journey that results in that beautiful softness. It was a normal cold night out in the jungle, but on this particular one the mind was stronger than usual. The whirly wind ripped me off my mother’s pod, I fell on the ground, alone, cold and scared. I lay there screaming for my mother’s attention who stood strong and proud against the winds as always, she paid no attention to me. I wonder if she mourned me. After hours and hours of screaming it finally hit me that from that point onwards I was by myself, no mommy to protect me from the world. I wanted to do something about my situation, but I was just a seedling, no legs no arms, I just lay there praying hard and hoping a Good Samaritan walks by. The blazing sun used to scorch my bare skin as I was no longer protected by mother’s leaves, the rains too fell on me, I was even hit by a fucken lightning bolt at this one point. I was whi

Everyone knows Jesus’s crew, his clique, the ultimate 12 . Made up by the likes of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and many more. Jesus actually went around looking for men to join his crew, he wasn’t just taking anyone to be on his team. Rule No.1, “ No chicks allowed ” and rule No. 2 was you must have a certain skill that you will offer to the crew. Jesus actually wanted 11 disciples, but here is how he ended up with 12. [I think he had a Toyota Venture, 4 back seat, 4 middle, 2 front seat and the driver] Anyway, one of the niggas he wanted was Peter, if you read your Christian books you will know Peter was also a Doctor by profession, he possessed the skill of healing and Jesus needed someone to carry the First Aid kit on his trips around Europe, so here is how Peter was recruited: Matthew 4:18-20 (KJV) “ And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: they were fishers. And he saith unto

I am the only one who has lost himself??? I have noticed something about my childhood, Young Mzu was awesome, he ruled, I wanna be that nigga again. I really don’t know what happened along the way… Let’s explore: 1. When I was in pre-School, I went after the hottest girl in my village. I was after her for years and years, I never got her even though she loved me back [I have proof], she was never mine, but I do have some have memories to treasure shame. That girl is a young happily married woman now, therefore I cannot disclose her identity. Now this new Mzu trembles at the site of a beautiful woman, I would never look at one, let alone talk to her. Where is that brave Mzu?? The one who goes for anything he sets his eyes upon???   [ P.S: Baby, you are beautiful and I love you, I am talking about these bitches I meet on the streets, not that I wanna talk to them, love you ] 2. When I was around 11 years old, I electrocuted an older cousin of mine, he and his si

Your mind set is one of the key players on how your life turns out, I strongly agree that “ you are what you thing about the whole day ” Or the Bible verse: Proverbs 23:7 (KJV) “ For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he… ” What is more important is HOW YOU THINK ABOUT IT, you have to be “the glass is half full” type of person. Here is a little story before I continue: “ Once upon a time, in a land far far away, lived a man with two sons. The man was a drunkard and abused women/kids, his wife had died by his hands when the boys were still young. The boys both grew up with this tyrant of a man, this drunkard. They witness everything from the heavy drinking to the abuse. The man died when the boys were teenagers, he choked in his own vomit. One day the boys were men, all grown up and leading their own lives. One of the boys was a drunkard and abusive just like his father, the other was a well-mannered church goer who respected women. An old man who lived next d

John 8: 7 (KJV) “… He that is without sin amongst you, let him first cast a stone at her .” This one goes to the so called “haters”, I have never met any of you or have heard anyone admitting or claiming this status, but whoever you are, I hope this reaches you. In fact if you are reading this and you know a hater please copy the link and send it to them. Ok wait, this is no longer addressed to the haters, it’s for the dream killers. All of them, the ones who do it intentionally and the one that are always saying “I know better, I am trying to save him from mistakes, I am saving him from himself”, WHO ASKED YOU??? These are the people that were afraid to follow their passions and chase their dreams. These are the people that looked for insurance/security in a stable ‘risk free’ job. Let me not be unfair, the other side of the coin reads: These are the people who did not have the luxury to really decide to take their lives where they wanted them to be. Soon after gra

Hi, you are probably at your prime now. Catching some feelings and starting to wonder how that guy or girl looks at you? Before you go crazy I would like you to know these 16 things:             1. Dream big. -           Do not limit what you can achieve based on your circumstances. Imagine the places you want to go to and the things you want to achieve. There is truly no limit.  The worst you can do is put yourself in a box. The mind is a powerful tool and it believes what you tell it.  Next time tell it about the company you will own one day. 2. Believe in yourself. -           Believe you will pass that Maths test that’s giving you nightmares. Whatever it is that you are faced with now, you shall overcome. The best trait one can learn in this life is how to be their very own motivator. Be your own supporter, be able to lean on your own but do not brush people who are your cheerleaders. 3. Believe in something greater than you. -           As important as it is

These are basics, straight from the bible: “ You reap what you sow ” right… We have been told this over and over again, but somehow how unpleasant things are still happen to us, not that we want or wish for them to. What is it that we are doing wrong? Maybe we don’t understand what “ you reap what you sowed ” means… No maarn that’s nonsense, we are not that stupid, we do know what it means, it’s pretty easy right??? If I plant an apple seed I cannot miraculously expect to harvest oranges next season. That’s what it means right… At home we had a garden, I don’t remember even one time planting spinach and harvesting bacon. So now where are things going wrong??? Because personally I have never been like: “ ok, I am planting this seed to fail next week’s test ” but I have been failing test’s all my life. WTF are we doing wrong??? Ok, you know what? I think we just need a fresh approach to the same principle, here goes nothing. “ You are reaping what you sowed, no

Last week I was listening to one of the afternoon shows on SAFM, on that day, their guest on the show was a former homeless guy who is now the CEO of some marketing company. This gentleman told his story of how he was fired from his bartending job in Eastern Cape, then instead of looking for other employment in his home town, he decided to pack his bags and go find better opportunities in “the city of gold” where the grass is greener, “kwa nyam’ ayipheli”. His journey was tough and long, and definitely not what he expected. First of all, he did not have enough money to get to Joburg. So his first stop was Bloemfontein, he was homeless for a couple of weeks in Bloemfontein. He ate from rubbish bins, collected cans and plastic for recycling. All this time he was sleeping on a bench at the train station. He eventually raised enough money for a train ticket from Bloem to Jozi. On the way, he was so excited about finally going to “the city of gold”, less did he know of what

Drawing by Miss P Xongo The other day I woke up earlier than usual, it was still dark outside. I stood outside waiting for a colleague, it was very cold and my body was shivering, I stood there for what seemed like forever… Time passed and the morning was drawing in. The sun took forever to rise, maybe I was the impatient one. The sun was on some strip tease shit that morning, all I could see were the sun rays held at ransom by the hills of Bloemfontein… I got tired of just standing there and doing nothing, I decided to do something about my situation. I started running, I ran towards the mountain… The journey was long and tough. The more I ran, the more tired I was. The terrain got steeper and steer, I could feel every body part whining “yhooo hayi, this is unfair, I deserve a more gentle terrain”. I wanted to stop and turn back, but my mind reminded me why I was doing this, for the sun light at the top of the mountain. I recovered my focus and carried on… As if the

According to the Urban Dictionary , the above phrase means: “ Shaking them haters off. In other words it means to brush off negative energy of statements made about you. ” Now what is more powerful to me is the origin of the phrase: “ To step up. The origin of this term comes from a story in which a donkey falls into a well and cannot get out. The farmer tries to get the donkey out by rope, unsuccessful in his attempt. He decides, instead, to just give up and bury the donkey in the well. As the farmer begins filling the hole with dirt, the donkey becomes depressed, realizing that all of the dirt on his shoulders and back were going to eventually bury him. He then thought of an idea: I can just shake it off and step up. Therefore, he could just die by doing nothing and getting buried, or shake the dirt off his shoulders and step up to the occasion. ” This phrase has special place in my heart because of the way we as the youth are living, all of a sudden everyone has “ h

One of the giants in South African Gospel music said these words in a very deep spiritually cleaning song, the one and only Ms Hlengiwe Mhlaba. She uttered these words for religious purposes, but I do not think it can be restricted to that. All we have to do is alter it a bit and work with it. Here goes something… The principle is whatever it is that you have devoted yourself to, don’t part time it, don’t give half attention. Give it your all and NO PLAN B. I heard somewhere that goals are very jealous, you can’t raise them as twins. Your goal becomes your one and only child. Yes you can be multi-talented but to master something, you have to be DEVOTED to it. Devoted is loosely defined as: “ Very loving or loyal. ” The first step is for you to love whatever it is that you want to pursue in life. That love keeps you up at night… That love makes you say “ time flies ” and makes you feel as if 24 hours are just not enough… That love taps into reservoirs of energy you di

I have heard somewhere that: “Killing time is not murder, its suicide” Then I thought to myself how many times I have responded to people “ I’m just chilling ”… We all know that mode right?? The state were you are just alive and not contributing anything to your life or society. You just sitting there breathing and wasting oxygen. If you would walk up to a Xhosa guy in that state and asked them “what’s up” he’d tell you “ndicinga ooNot”. Now that is no way to live life. We often say phrases such as “ time flies ”, “ this day has been long ”… That’s nonsense, time is constant. Every day when we wake up there are 60 seconds that add up to a minute, then the 60 minutes add up to an hour, then finally 24 hours add up to a day. It has been like that ever since I was born, and that’s a very long time ago. Only those who understand quantum physics [Einstein’s theory] can argue that time is not the same, the rest of us, TIME IS CONSTANT… Finish n klaar… Ok, this is how I r

If the Devil walked that Earth, his legal bill would be the highest in the world… Think about it, every time something bad happens us, who is the easiest person to blame?? The Devil. When someone does something bad, like murdering his whole family, he is possessed by the Devil. Teenage years, your child starts drinking and doing drugs, “ ungenwe ngu Satan ”. So if the guys walked the Earth he would need a strong team of lawyers, he who would have been in and out of court, because he would have been sued each and every single day. My friends let us leave the devil alone, untwana ka Thixo has had it naye ngok. One might ask: “ But Mzu, if we leave the devil alone, then who do we blame ”??? Before I answer that, please nohlukane noomakhulu babantu, just because umntu is not pretty enough for your liking and has a complicated brain disorder doesn’t make them a dart board for your misfortunes. Now to answer who to blame: YOU, blame YOURSELF. The man (or woman) who said

In life, everyone wants to grow. We all want to grow physically, numerically, financially, career wise, even in church [ Methodist ] Sunday School >> Guilder >> Ndodana >> Mshumayeli >> Rev. Not matter the aspect of our lives, we all have this strong feeling of the need to grow. Imagine if you were 18 years of and you were still in Grade 1, which would suck right?? So yes, we all want to grow. It is true that for you to grow, or should I say “ change ”, you have to decide and dedicate yourself to your growth. When we wanted to go to the next grade, the next one and the one after that, the formula was simple, we did our homework (practice), assignments, projects and studying for tests. Varsity was the same drill, now I have learnt that the older you grow [age] the trickier it becomes. When you are old and done with traditional schooling, when you are working or following your dreams or passion [music, sport, etc.], the “ Hunger Games ” begin. There a
