Where there’s life, there’s hope

It all started as a dream, I clearly remember in grade 11 when my economics teacher started asking us in class if were we would love to go study after matric. Everyone had went on and on about going to Joburg and Pretoria, as I stood up I said I would love to go to Cape Town and everyone burst out in laughter even my teacher as she asked if how am I going to get there? I simply told her where there is life, there is hope.

I had to hold on to the dream I had, even though I didn’t knew how I was going to get to Cape Town and who was going to finance my studies. Whenever I got to the bottom of it I knew I was going to study and have to beat all the poverty and get out of the terrible background I grew up in.

If you are encouting some similarities, know that “Once there is breath of life, there is always a huge chance of success”.

If I were the Boss?

Being a boss is not an easy thing as it comes with a lot of responsibilities; a positive attitude will be needed as I have the privilege of managing others.


First things first, have an open door policy to all my employees, which will allow them to come into my office every time they need to. Good working relationship and objectivity would be essential. Employees like to feel at home at their place of work, I will involve them in decision making as they are the ones who prosper the organization.

Some people feel threatened on their work but I would open training programs for all senior post’ in case something happen, will have our backup right behind us than employing new people as it will cost the company more money and not to make our employees feel less needed.

I’d also make sure that Mondays aren’t hectic days for us; everyone who’s late is forgiven as we would also leave early on Friday to start our weekend earlier.

When can you let go of a relationship?

Most relationships go through hard times and it is hard for one to know and decide when to call it quits, instead you keep on hoping that things will get better.


People stay in unhealthy and broken relationships that they know are no longer working for them just because they are afraid to start afresh or even fearing of being alone and to be interrogated by friends and family about the failure of the relationship. The honesty about break up’s is that are hard, that is why people don’t want to start afresh and see what life has stored for them, rather they prefer to be stuck in the non-functional relationship.

If only you think that you can make your relationship work, make sure that you respect each other for it to grow because love and respect goes well together as you will also need to be committed to each other. If you can’t make it work, let him/her go and remember it’s all about you and you happiness. Don’t get trapped in a relationship that does not bring you anything rather pain that is causing misery in your precious life.

Remember “what doesn’t kill you makes you strong” getting out of that unproductive relationship could be an achievement to you and your soul as you will welcome happiness .in your life

Breastfeeding in a public area

Breastfeeding in public is legal and it make sense but I find it very offensive when I see fellow sisters doing it in public areas such as, taxis, restaurants and shopping malls. Not that it’s a bad thing to do since it is considered best for the child’s growth rather we do it in a private place since other breast’s don’t look tasteful to all of us .

Two young ladies started arguing in a taxi when they saw one woman breastfeeding her child and sitting next to a guy as he started looking outside the window because he felt uneasy looking at that lady’s boobies. One lady said she was not seeing anything wrong about breastfeeding that child in a taxi as the child was hungry because we also buy our kfc and eat in a taxi yet others are hungry, she feel it will be a bad thing for a parent to starve the baby because of what people will say.

I suggest we all do what is best for our children, carry a small towel to cover them while breastfeeding than leaving our breast’s hanging out for everyone to see. 

How hard it is to follow instructions?

People don’t like to be instructed; therefore it leads them into going in a different position when being told to do something because they perceive instructions as an order and that make them look inferior to their subordinates as they are defined by nature.

Husband to wife” serve my food hot from the pot, otherwise I will deal with you” in these instance, wife can use micro-oven to warm food as an alternative to serve warm food, yet husband does not approve that and she does feel ordered around because it means that if her husband will come home in the middle of the night so she had to wake up and cook for him.

Another aspect that might lead to disobeying instructions could be the relationship between the involved counterparts and what kind of relationship do they have to deliver on instructed duties as It sound like you are forced to do whatever given to as if you don’t have a choice or other alternative. It makes me feel that people are always after whatever they want and Sometimes life throws everything in your face and you still got to get up.

For how long must Mpumalanga province wait to have their University?

The talk is now becoming a fairytale, for 3^rd time President Jacob Zuma on his State of the Nation address (SONA) mentioned that Mpumalanga province will commence with the university building. There is no higher institution of learning that is in full ownership by the province, except for Tshwane University of technology’s satellite campuses that does not accommodate quarter of Mpumalanga matriculants.

I am starting to doubt president Zuma’ words and the minister of higher education Dr. Blade Nzimande that they did not commit themselves much into making sure that the project is implemented on recorded time as promised to us residents of the province.

I have a question but I don’t know who I can direct to, “During SONA there is budget allocated for such projects, where does the money go to if they fail to implement? 

I am hoping for better 2012, to seeing change about the project to avoid kids all wanting to go to Gauteng for better education and not to see a repetition of what happened at the University of Johannesburg where a student had to lose a parent during registration ……. We have a right to education so must be able to access it. 

Two people come out of a building into a story

God work in miraculous ways, a couple in Johannesburg who have been married for 10years and failing to conceive heard people screaming outside their gate on Thursday night and decided to go have a look on what could be occurring on that late evening.

To their surprise they found a little girl left lying on the pavement and crying terribly, to make it worse the baby did not have a note with. It is saddening knowing there are people who would like to have kids and give them a warm and stable home yet other’s throw them in a bin like a piece of trash.

Ladies if you regard yourself as an unfit parent, rather give your child to the social workers in hospital who will make sure that your baby has a stable home, get education as they have rights to live.
