Serving Soup for the 67 Minutes of Community Service in the Helderberg

I guess this is what I enjoy doing, organizing activities that get the young people in my community active an involved. Seeing the youth becoming part of something good is always exciting for me, for every event I manage, seeing the smiles and pride on the work everyone has devoted to the success of any event is what inspires me to do another one.

This past Wednesday, it was no different, as the country took it upon them selves to selflessly devote 67 minutes of their time to…

Getting to Johannesburg....Great Moments 2

I have just landed in Jozi for the first time, excitement felt by every nerve in my system. I followed the track that was taken by my fellow travelers inside the OR Tambo International Airport, and I simple wanted to know where I can board the next Gautrain to Johannesburg Park Station. I made a quick call to Doc Mabila, just to be sure before an serious decision were made, Doctor confirmed all that I needed to know, and I went straight to a security guard from a distance away, and asked…

My Perfect Dream Girl (Helderberg Community Sends Greetings)

She used to sit just outside the library on the stairs where all the diligent and geeky students gathered. She had this school teacher vibe about her, always appearing to be in-tune with her books or deep in thought with something totally profound.

She had this habit of slowly running her fingers through her thinly braided human hair and…

We introduced the organisation, realising that the youth has the potential and capacity to create an environment, which can…

Here are short words to the Man above:

The school exams are over and now you begin to wonder "what are you going to do over the thanks giving season"... I don't think I have an answer yet by one thing for sure, I can be grateful for the year that I just had. So, here are short words to the Man above:

 

Dear Lord, I couldn't move into another year without apologizing for the things I should've said earlier and didn't, and acknowledge the times I could've done better but didn't. Thanks for moving me while I grumbled…

Is there ever a Miss Right? (thinking out loud in the Helderberg)

Is there ever a Miss Right?

I usually have an answer for everything as long as it is not related to Financial Management 300 or my singleness. The latter being the hardest to spin. There’s no justification of being single nowadays. Whatever you say only generates more pity, smugness, concern and speculation. “Poor Boy, no one loves him. If only he had a good girl like me. Maybe he’s a psycho, clingy…

Caring for Growth

I like to think the youth of today, has the ability to contribute tremendously towards their development. As I go back in time and gaze upon the triumphant stories of people who made the best of what they had, whose spirit lives on to inspire us today, I believe that we too can still write our own triumphant stories. They are the heroes that we look up to as role models and legends, but they didn’t start out with celebrated victories. They too were just like me and you, starting out in life… Continue
