Mine is to filter out the rhetoric and propaganda, so that we children of the soil can form opinions based on logic and reason. Not through those summarized and scripted tales presented to us.
Go manage yourself, Leaving the rest of us alone. You are the one who lacks the authority you boldly speak of. Go manage yourself, Leaving the rest of us alone, You crave power, yet you can’t even contain your own chaos. Go manage yourself, Leaving the rest of us alone, It is your tongue, sharp … Continue reading Go Manage yourself

What happens when unelected elites hijack the national voice? Allowing another country’s president to belittle you and your nation as a sitting head of state, especially on a global stage and based on baseless claims is dangerous and unacceptable. You cannot sacrifice your country’s sovereignty to maintain a so-called peace that only serves the interests … Continue reading When A Billionaire Speaks for the State

I cannot transform what resists transformation, nor can I walk into the future while holding onto a past that does not belong to me...or to my ancestors. The same applies to … Continue reading My Exit Is My Alignment

I am the dream dreamt by those who carried buckets on their heads and hope in their hearts. … Continue reading I Refuse to Be Diminished
‘Never lost nor forgotten’ One thing about my ancestors? They never miss a moment to reveal themselves to me. In whispers, in visions, in signs too divine to ignore they speak, they show, they guide. I do not question them. How could I? Their love is old, unwavering, and wise beyond lifetimes. I trust them … Continue reading In The Arms Of My Ancestors
A Dedication to Passie🤍 A very happy birthday is in order today, tomorrow, and for the rest of this month. I wasn’t tripping when I said I’d wish you a happy birthday every day. But I figured it would be even better to write it down and share it here on the blog, because this … Continue reading Happy Birthday, Ma Nhleko
The ANC’s regional conference in Ekurhuleni draws near, and with it, a familiar storm begins to stir. History has taught us that when power is up for grabs, peace often slips quietly out the back door. Words will turn into weapons. Reputations will be bruised, dragged, reshaped to fit agendas. Some will stand on stages, … Continue reading Where Power Gathers, Peace Scatters
The way the legal council is moving right now? Is nothing short of outrageous. It’s painful to witness, especially when you consider how little the justice system has done, truly done for the majority of people in this country. And now, to see them dragging Judge Hlophe and Advocate Mkhwebane through the mud, trying to … Continue reading This Democracy Isn’t Ours
Enough With The Empty Promises! We can no longer afford to be deceived by illusions. Service delivery has turned into a mere campaigning tool, wielded as a means to undermine the people's resolve and foster dependence on the system or government. Which is troubling, because the failure in basic service delivery isn't due to a … Continue reading Deceptive Leaders
