You are an African


To whom may it concern?

If my memory serves me well, every struggle hero that either endured the pains or fell at the blood stained hands of the apartheid government promised me, I future generation, that ‘democracy’ is:
“Rule by the people”
This was a message that no human being will ever have their future dictated by another, this was a message that ‘elite’ and ‘supreme’ will seize to exist, all South African are equal:
“… All people shall be entitled to take part in the administration of the country…”
This message was embedded in the heart of a historically powerful document, the ‘Freedom Charter’. A document mutually adopted in 1955 by South Africans, regardless of the political party in which they belonged. This act was a very powerful message, that this country and its people come before any political party. This is contrary to the message sent out by our commander in chief, the first citizen, when he said:
“I argued one time with someone who said the county comes first and I said as much as I understand that my organisation, the ANC, comes first”

Democracy is Rule by the People…

This message was echoed by our former President Mr Thabo Mbeki when he said “I am an African”. He wanted to remind us, the people, that WER ARE South Africa. An extract from his speech went:
“…It gives assertion that made by ourselves that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, Black and White. It gives concrete expression to the sentiment we share as Africans, and we will defend to the death, that the people shall govern…”
Apologies for the brief history, but that is the fundamentals of the next idea I want to present to you my fellow South Africans.

You are an African, grow your wings and learn to fly, the government never loved you...

Learn, Practice & Master independence... Do it as if your life depended on it, because it does...

In closing:
"If the ANC does to you what the apartheid government did to you, then you must do to the ANC what you did to the apartheid government."

-Nelson Mandela

Laying on my back on the soft block paving of the Apartment Building, Looking at the young evening sky with dawn throwing its last kicks... A gas Lighter in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Destruction and Potential, Only kept apart by my fat arms and hairy chest. A lady walks by, Doesn't finish walking by. Stops, And comments how cute it is that i am studying the night skies, " Stars are full of wonder, they are Angels watching us " She said. " Yeah, they are " I replied. Then the lady finished walking by. Laying there, Laying on my back on the soft block paving of the Apartment Building, Looking at the young evening sky with dawn throwing its last kicks and showing signs of giving up and accepting its fate, it's over... Laying there, Looking at the top floor of our five storey building, I was wondering whether a jump would kill or cripple me. The distance didn't seem long enough, So i put all my chips on "cripple" and postpone

Dear Youth ... During my high school years, in my physical sciences class, I learn about " Fiber Optics ", oh what a beautiful thing they are. Below is the technical definition of this type of technology: " A  fiber optic  cable consists of a bundle of glass threads, each of which is capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves.  Fiber optics  has several advantages over traditional metal communications lines:  Fiber optic  cables have a much greater bandwidth than metal cables."  [ www.webopedia.com/TERM/F/ fiber _ optics .html] Key Notes: 1. " transmitting messages " This is the aim of this Blog, to transmit messages, to transfer knowledge back and forth, and to support one another. There will be a variety of topics, Academics, R eligion, Politics, Philosophies, Relati onship problems, Family Problems (Not personal, but how to deal with general family problems), sport, you name it, if you can think of it, it will be here. 2

You're a Magician

The Magic is in your Heart,  You choose how you want it to manifest in your Life. In despair and fear, Some of us let it die and rot inside, then we start hating existence itself. Dearing the Devil to try his best. Fuck, i don't know how to write this, too many thoughts in my head. Let me take a swing, if i miss, i miss... A long time ago,  i read a theory somewhere that states: When the Bible says: Gen: 2:7 "...And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being..." What happened on that day, is that God shared some of his 'powers with us'. At the time i never paid much attention to it. Laughed it off. Until recently when i read 'The Lost Symbol' by Mr Dan Brown. In the book biblical scriptures were quoted: Psalms 82:6 "...I said, You are gods..." John 10:34 "...Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”...&qu
