Mountain of despair is not invincible

We've all faced daunting tasks in our lifes.There were moments we just wanted to give up.When every wall we break down is replaced by a gigantic shield of iron.Should we then cut our losses  and move on?Well if the word failure exists in your vocabulary,then probaly should.I must confess,i have a very limited vocabulary.It only comprise of the words;perseverance,persistence and success.So i miight not always be succesfull but atleast i' ll never say  i regret not trying.At the moment we are trying to esteblish a rugby club in our community,but it proves to be quite a task.I've never had so many red-tape and administration in my life.All we want to do is let the youngsters do what they love best;which is playing the beautifull game of rugby union.Sure not all of them will go on to become Springboks,but if only the beatifull birds was allowed to fly,it would'f been an emty sky,wuold'nt it!We just want to lift their spirits by doing something possitive for themselves and their community.They should'nt be deprived of that opportunity because of red-tape and politics,and i for one will not retreat or surrender,i owe them joy of putting the pride back in in our community,plauged by ;crime,poverty,subtance-abuse and unemployment.We'll be relentless in our persue of happiness.

As a new week lie in wakening.It brings with it more uncertainties and many happy moments hopefully.I reflect on a month gone by,in wich we all exected so much more.I for starters hoped for warmer weather than,the floods and cold,and hail-storms wev'e been experiencing lately.The seasons can be a real test of charachter.Like life we are more often than not supprised by what we get along the way.Iv'e lately come to reallise,that one at the age of 30 years and older,tend to think more about, the future your kids will have if you pass on.No im planning on drawing up a bucket-list,just yet.I just need to know my family will be well taken care of when i go into "that good night".It leaves me with cold sweat thinking i wont  be around,to see all of them happy and taken care of forever,for that i'll have to live to be a 100.Suddenly i've learned to appreciate life so much more,i've reallised that,nothing in life last forever and no -one  is immortal,even we live like it most of the time.Our country is still the rainbow it was intended to be,sure we've hit a bad patch enroute that dream,of living in  a peacefull country for all,with no poverty and crime,but we're pretty damn close.If everything is temporary,as has been proved,in the past lifetime,than this bad,that has pleagued our democracy is bound to end very soon.

LIFES SUMMERS

Living is always better when its summer,isn't it?I just love the beautifull sunshine and cool evening breezes.So i always feel that,that warmth is transpiring,through to our lives cause we are always happier in summer.It takes me back to my first summer love.We would spend days on end just talking and starring at one another.She'd be the first one think about in the mornings.Isn't it just wonderfull how summer romances never last?Well two decades on and im bracing myself to give to give advice to my teenage boy on romance.Romance is to me the fuel that keeps the vehicle called "Life'running and heartbreak is the compasse that gives it direction.I remember a time when i thought is this thing called love not just an elution as so often eluted to.Does there always have to be a reason why get hurt and hurt people in return.Just as decided to settle down and be with someone that  felt right but i didn't love came my angel send from above.Than all made sense had i not go through all the pain and heart-ache,i'd never have found what i was looking for.So even in the darkerst of days,i keep faith that this is preparing me for my ultimate happyness which is always closer than it seems.

life is good even when bad

So its been a tough week personally.So much to cope with and just no time to scrutinize every situation.I reached a stage where i just wanted to quit.Then i thought of all the comrades that fought for our freedom,that we can not surrender to life's curveballs,but persue the challenges with dignity.I prayed and found renewed spiritual energy.For when times are tough where else will we find strenght to continue?Why did i wanne give up?Well just thought about the state of our country and the prospects of a better country in the very forseeable future.I contemplated where im heading personally,what are my career ambitions,and how much have i achieved so far(if anything).The thuoghts of  my child's education parilysed my thuoghts completely,where will i get the money to send him to world class university for a better life.I thought am i living the rainbow dream-dream Tata Madiba sacrificed his life for?Why are we so taking our freedom for granted,how come we just give up when the going gets tough,but surrender so esy to impediments?Then GOD made me see that he has a plan for all of us,all we need to do is not give up and keep at it,He'll do the rest.

warmer days or not

As a new mont and indeed new season grows upon us,we are hopefull that this will be the season of sunshine.That idea was put to bed fast by the petrol-price increasing,the continious strike in the mining sector,the latest unemployment figures(increasing),our president spending 200-million on his house in Qanda, all being said the rainbow of hope is still parading in our hearts.What is happening in our labour force!All of a sudden employers are awstruck by all the sudden strikes even though it is striking season.Workers just cant cope with the escalating food prices and constant fuel-hikes.Yet it profits no one when the countries  economy is brought to its knees by non-production.Why play hardball when everyone is losing on the long term?Can't everyone take a leave from our sporting heroes;the proteas only strike(choke)at big tournements and only for that period not longer,while bafana would love to strike but cant.Even our beleagered   Mr Juluis "cant die" Malema are feeling the heat of this new season,he is standing trail atlast for money-laundering.Even with all happening our beatifull country is shining on.

I BELIEVE IN MY COUNTRY

CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS IN MZANZI,THROUGH  MY EYS.
As  the leaves begins to turn,signalling the end of a season and the beginning of another,so is the political landscape in our country.Look i hate politics because of all the pretence and underhand alliances,behind the scenes.Though i do reallise active involvement is the only way i can try and influence the direction they lead my future.Still i believe despite all that's wrong alot is going or us as a country.We can still worship any religion or culture without fear of prosecution.Our political affiliation doesn't descimate us   from the majority of society.We can differ  with one another and still cheer on Bafana Bafana with equel passion.When tata Madiba gets sick,we all cry and pray together for his recovery.Our politics in principle has a policy of daiologue and debate,which is almost un- heard  of in Africa and most parts of the world.Yes i would love to see all of our lives improving and all of sharing in the vision of economic freedom,which former A.N.C-Youth league President,Mr Juluis Malema keeps heralding about,but im prepared to wait and continue to hold the powers  that be responsible,trough my vote and participating in council-meetings.Wouldn't wanne live any where else in the world.

democracy under siege

A new era has dawn in 1990 when Nelson Mandela was released.We subsequently had our first democratic in 1994.Well today 18-years on that hard-fougt democracy,paid for with blood is bieng,trheathened by greed and personal ambition.I danced back then at the prospect of a prosperuos South-Africa.Today after years of hope i've given up and can just watch as my vote,wich was paid for with blood and sweat is being trampled upon.Why my goverment do you hurt me so much?I am now joke to those i preached to about how my goverment will lead us to the" promise land'.Why all the in-fights when the ruling party belongs not to anyone,it belongs to the masses ,which includes all races and creeds.Isn't it time become the goverment(party) that gave us hope when the odds were stack against us?When blood ran through the streets of our country,when mothers had to sacrifice their sons and daughters for the cause!Lets forget about who did what to whom and why, please give us jobs,build us homes please,give our children better education and ultimately a better future as entrenched in our constitution.Dont let all the blood and pain have been for nothing.
