Swimming with the Big Fish
The new part of my walk in life starts this week. For now it's all meetings where I listen and they speak. Basically I am joining the Vukukhanye organization on the fundraising committee. As the young fresh and vibrant younster. Soon the work shall mount up but for now I have documents and meetings where we shall see a way forward.
The thing that makes me excited is that I am young (22) and they choose me in a pool of so many. Also working with my surrogate father and his team is a dream come true. But of course in the board room I cant call him DAD. Also my mother works for the organisation and I have always wanted to help those less fortunate then I. So this to me is a great way into a great future.
It will not always be glamours and beautiful but I choose to see it as my way of being schooled into the world I myself and friends would love being in.This is a gift and oppurtunity that must be appreciated it's not everyday you find someone my age growing like this.
Till next time God bless and I am wishing on you success.

Security On Campus
Having being a victim of many small crimes that people might choose to call petty crime, I am none the less angered about the crime on campuses. I was on a campus for a full year and we (other varsity students) eventually became immune to the crimes of that campus.
Our first ordeal was of a young man being raped, we had just arrived there and we heard about this young man who was going to return home having not even entered a single lecture room or anything like that. Having his man hood taken away must have been miserable to say the least just after I wrapped my head around that my cell phone was taken from my room. This act of deviance has become almost the norm on the campuses. So what students were dodging 20 years ago is what present day calls petty crimes.
There is no one who will stand up for such large problems and say that security is a real problem that students should be better protected. Under Thabo Mbeki's iron fist we denied or avoided xenophobic attacks this allowed for the South African people to do as they please all over and this fed into campuses. Scary perpetuating into a violent and horrific outburst. Here were people now needing protection because the government and leadership structures where allowing fellow civilians to behave like savages. Ironic and contradictory for these people because years back our black political leaders searched refuge in their homelands.
Xenophobia, theft, rape and assault are the crimes we have become immune too and we can no longer allow this sickening behavior to continue. Gone are the days when one should be throw stats for something to be valued. All one has to do is google the topic and get results about the sorts of atrocities our future are being exposed too. We would like to see the new governance take care of this as well. Zuma's children are in tertiary I am sure and will be feeding him great portions of the unsavory news of our campuses. We can only hope they here this and change it.

Women woe them with your talent
Florence Masebe a multi talented women my first view of this women was in Generations when I was a young girl. Five years ago, believe it or not, she hit the South African screens in a new Venda soapie Muvhango and has attracted us for a while now. Her role there rather strong, firm and strong but now she embarks on another journey now in another soap speaking Afrikaans.
My greatest attraction to this kind of skill is that she doesn't go stale nor does she bore. Women like Masebe show that versatility in their craft is important to remain on top of your game in the dog eats dog industry. She has shown that not only is she multi talented when it comes to acting and being in the media sphere but also to remember that she is multi lingual. She raises her own bar for those following her foot steps.
Also before you bore the veiwers branch at something else. She continues with soapies and adverts she continues her walk with her talent. After five years in one show you can be very proud of what do. It shows us that acting is more than just being seen it needs you to dedicate patience and long endurance in a show. Showing full well a respect for her audience as the article by the Sowtan's Patience Bambalele revealed. If anything she is hitting another audience ,Afrikaans this time, and giving them a taste as well. I salute and wish her well, this womens month.

My inspiration
I guess the first question we ask or get asked is what is your inspiration and also what sets you apart? My inspiration...
My inspiration comes from me knowing I was chosen for such a time as this. Also the ones that came before me inspire me. Firstly the power house I come from the Ndlovu ladies such as my mother and aunts. Next Lillian Ngoyi who never had tertiary education but took her gift and ran with it and today we have the National Womens' Day here in South Africa because of her boldness for justice and women. Ladies like Nicole Fox, Elana Afrika, Romy Titis, Nikiwe Bikitsha and Siki Mgabadu, Thandiswa Mazwai but to name a few. We are all in a pot of becoming better people. Learning, laughing and loving we create and direct our lives using our "navigator factor" that lies within. My passion really is people using radio as my canvas.I am praying God guides this completely. For this I remember the great Lance Rothschild "never give up,if you really want it".
After all this is I Stand, I enjoy and I learn. My body I shield and love with all of me. I respect myself because if I don't who will? I take notice because what I do I might have to account to with my children one day, after all we are a product of our parents. These are the things that make me but mostly the people around me which are friends, but MUSIC! oh my I love music and reading and writing to ease the mind. Enjoy my point of view as I express remember, I am not right nor am I perfect.
