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.
There are those who climb because their spirit has been prepared for the heights they reach. They have walked through the fire, carried burdens in silence, and built foundations that existed long before anyone recognised their name. Their elevation is rooted. It is not simply a matter of being seen…it is the result of discipline, … Continue reading Borrowed Elevation
The ground remembers every footprint. It remembers who walked with humility and who walked with arrogance. It remembers those who carried the burdens of the people and those who carried only the weight of their own ambitions. When the ground no longer yearns for your presence as its leader, why run to the corridors of … Continue reading The Ground Does Not Lie
What troubles me is not only the amount of money being spoken about. It is the spirit behind the response. Some ministers have come out breathing nothing but fire and bile, speaking as though the people are the enemy. And perhaps that is what leaves such a bitter taste in my mouth. We are constantly … Continue reading When Government Speaks In The Language Of Threats
Returning to the unseen places where spirit remembers what the world forgot There are wounds no policy has ever reached, no law that has ever truly touched the quiet places where the spirit has been bruised and left to sit with itself. We are taught to believe that healing comes through structure, through systems, through … Continue reading Where Spirit Heals Beyond Structure
@lankosiwrites There seems to be this hushed crisis unfolding in many parts of Africa. It is not always found in unemployment statistics, government reports, or political debates. At times it sits in empty libraries where laughter and curiosity once echoed. Sometimes it lives in neglected community centres that have forgotten the sound of young voices … Continue reading The Keepers of Memory Pushed to the Margins

My Take on the Ngizwe Mchunu Saga @lankosiwrites I don’t believe Ngizwe Mchunu set out to offend our rainbow family. His words were clumsy and lacked the wisdom needed to convey their intended meaning, as he was driven by a desire to protect the sacred regalia once worn by kings, warriors, and healers, which carried … Continue reading When Tradition Meets Respect:
The Abahambe Brigade @lankosiwrites Gayton McKenzie’s public outburst did more than just spark debate…it revealed some deeply troubling views that many of us hadn't fully recognized. His decision to confront the Open Chats podcast, under the banner of defending the colored community, instead opened a can of worms he perhaps did not expect. In doing … Continue reading When Outbursts Expose More Than Just Anger
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.

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
@lankosiwrites Be careful of those who assert themselves as leaders and innovators, some are not unfamiliar with the concept of selling out, particularly when they thrive at the expense of others. When history starts to echo past mistakes, reminding us of what led to the demise of our people through the actions of today's crop … Continue reading When History Repeats Itself
You thought you would put me in my place But I will not stay in this space How dare you make an attempt to silence my voice?

According to South African law, the Post Office is the only entity that is legally allowed to accept reserved … Continue reading The Demise of the SAPO: 400 Branches Shut Down
What we are seeing, is the death of what was once a glorious movement. The ugly thing about this death is how fast the sickness spreads among others who are in the same circle as these arrogant crop of leaders regardless of the political home they stem from, their advantage however is that they report … Continue reading The Dangers Of Celebrating A Leader Before They Deliver
A lie was sold, which led to buying into the downfall of what was once a promising country. False narratives that painted an image of a dawn that was said to be new, quickly flooded mainstream media which pushed the idea of positive change being on the horizon for the masses, which was far from … Continue reading Don’t Always Go With What They Give You
Walking away did not only free me from that fancy jail those clowns paraded as leaders were wardens of, it also destroyed the veil that distracted me from seeing what lay behind the glass of deception that their masters were feeding us. There are those who are stull stuck in this web due to their … Continue reading The Clowns We See
I am not one to celebrate when one of our own is in the pits, but I can't keep quiet and allow them to play the victim card when they created the mess they are in now. I hope we learn from the mistakes you made, and that those who were asleep wake up from … Continue reading An Open One For That Other One
When an individual chooses to expose the rot in the system especially in the governance sector, they disappear. If not that their lives are cut short not long after the media has run its cause with pushing the script given to them by the elites(culprits).Publications run with the story not by choice but because its … Continue reading The Blowers Don’t Last
When the ones who appointed themselves decided to charge those of us who opposed their way of doing things, their master fooled them into believing they had finished us,because the blind ones cheered them on and applauded them for derailing us from embarking on a revolutionary journey meant to empower fellow children of the soil. … Continue reading The Era of No Fear Has Arrived.
An experience we as daughters of the soil dread is that of being undermined by a fellow brother and thrown under the bus by your male counterparts, with the assistance of fellow daughters of the soil who are driven by greed systematically planted within their minds. Individuals draped in rolls of fake activism and sympathy … Continue reading The Spineless Creeps 🥱
Fireworks went off and champagne bubbled from every corner, you had the oppressors clapping hands for you and the enslaved celebrating your appointment as our number one. Promising the majority a free and fair country where corruption had no room or thieves wouldn’t dare steal from the public! Now as the years went by instead … Continue reading Now that the gloves are off and the masters are tired, where to from here?
Free speech is one of the central things to the democracy of our country, but we do not have an appreciation and protection of the plurality of views and the right to free speech. Before we did not have the right to express our views be it radical political expressions or free intellectual thought etc. … Continue reading About The Censorship
When they warned us of the problem we unknowingly placed ourselves in, we ridiculed them and insulted those who dared to oppose the collective view. Because we were under the impression of a new era where our unity promotes and encourages the empowerment of our people. Little did we know, that those we voted in … Continue reading As It Is
I am not justifying the use of violence, but what is the first thing you do when your security has been threatened /compromised? Rather we get to the root before hopping onto what the wrong ones want us to think, because they don't want to accept defeat! Why give in to something that will paint … Continue reading About That Encounter
