Public Figures Dressing Fab In Court

I admit maybe I'm not moving with times or I missed the note that said 'celebrities or their loved ones' should dress dashing for their court appearances.

Lawyers cost a fortune- they don't carry those suitcases for sweet nothing and wearing designer clothes is not kind to the pocket lol.

No need to fuss just wear a simple black attire that screams I'm remorseful for what I've done and given a second chance, messing with the law would not spring up to mind.

Clothes can communicate the nasty thoughts that should be buried deep in one's grey matter.

I'm not saying people must cheat but dress appropriately for the situation they are in.

Nam in my small world I occasionally turn to clothes to stimulate my mood for example if its my turn to do the dishes I wear my highest of heels and immediately feel the strength I need to get the 'job' done. That is just me!

Back to the subject: What makes these powerful man and women succumb to the pressure of dressing to the nines when they are in a situation where they probably don't even have time to worry about the simple things in life?

Is the possibility of not seeing the sun again somehow make them want to parade their wealth again?

If you have watched Queen Latifah and LL Cool J's Last Holiday you will remember that When Queen was diagnosed with a deadly sickness. she stopped caring about the simple things in life that mattered the most to her and vigorously splashed most of her money into an expensive holiday.

Ekasi there is this growing culture among Oomahlalela of dressing up for funerals only senditsho nje!

Ready For Rape?

My heart is heavy with the rape stories that we read about everyday.

Honestly they are not just stories that we should forget. They are people, they have experienced so much & no compensation or lengthy jail sentences can replace what have been 'illegally or inhumanly  been taken away from them.

How gruesome do we want these 'stories' to get. Are we that deaf to the cries of innocent children. I know my government has established special courts but it feels like they have not done anything. I have not seen any decline qha its increasing.

A stern warning needs to be sent. We can't have our children raped as if its the coolest thing to do.

Andazi what needs to be done but the clock is ticking. Its reportedly that every four minutes a person is raped in South Africa and one in every three women will be raped in their life time.

Sadly we have become the rape capital in the world. Sodom and Gomorrah to be precise. But at whose expense? Whose life are we putting on the line?

We have lost Ubuntu that's set us apart from other nations. A father that leaves next door didn't think twice about instilling good values on children and how one should behave among old people. Not today! They are no longer feared heads of household.

They have turned into ruthless, heartless beings ( not all of them).

I have heard some rape because it makes them feel powerful, in control of their victims. They suddenly become the CEO's they have envisioned. The beast that the world cannot touch.

We hoped that Anene Boysen was the last. The nation was at its feet and we all rebuked this hideous behavior. We all sincerely mourned her death. Body mutilation is not something we are familiar with and it sent shivers across the country.

Some matched demanding justice to prevail. The media played a crucial role by spreading the word and informing us of what will follow.

Years ago while I used to watch Dr Phil 's show An African American confessed to being raped by an older man and he said. " I died on that day"

I weeped so hard nawe you can imagine the pain and guilty that man has endured. Blaming himself for not being strong enough and what could have attracted the rapist to him.

Nathi as the society we don't show much support to survivors.

I was watching Good Deeds with a friend that I won't name and shame not now. She became so excited when she saw Gabrielle Union who played Tyler's wife and she said she was raped? I turned and asked so what?

Why is it news when someone has been brutally hurt -she did not ask to be raped. Its not something you chose.

Whether a person walks the street naked or whatsoever  that does not gives anyone permission to destroy someone's life. Let's love and protect one another.

Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land: 2 Chronicles 7:14. I love this verse and i'm sure you know what I’m insinuating.

Mayihlome ihlasele!

'South Africa's Youngest Billionaire'

Mandla Lamba/Facebook

The state broadcaster is popular for coping foreign content. We adopt their thingy  and add our Mzantsi flavor. Imbiza ivuthwe.

Mandla Lamba "a mining tycoon" with businesses manganese mines in Mzantsi, Zambia and Congo- Brazzaville, then 25 was arrested for fraud, theft and culpable homicide and he claimed businessman and ANC deputy president  Cyril Ramaphosa and his wife, Tshepo Motsepe were his mentors.

Mr Lamba's arrest left me with different questions racing my mind. I wanted to know more.

It takes some education-anyana to nail such scams. Not every millionaire wanna be can execute them & mayihlale injalo mbhem.

He came across as genuine cause he was handsome , smart and he used that on his advantaged and managed to fool a number of people.

I have not found closure on his case and it just disappeared from the limelight. We don't know what really happened and what forced him to stoop so low. He has not been convicted  yet.

He is a smart guy and I'm sure he knew his claims would attract unneeded attention but why? Getting a decent job is not easy but he appeared to be a smooth talker so that could have landed him one.

If he shifted his focus and energy into building a  proper business eventually he was gonna be a respectable somebody.

An investigation show past his conviction is what we need to see and it would draw a picture of what made him do it regardless of the risks involved.  Its not only for our benefit as it will sort of warn people who think of committing the same crime.

It's like exporting drugs thinking you are special - the detectors won't see through you. You've heard how tight foreign laws are and how merciless the judges have become.

Blaming unemployment and its first born child poverty does not justify the act. Greed, selfishness and lawlessness does not even begin to describe lengxingongo.

A show that will seek to establish the force behind this demon is needed. I'm calling it a demon because I do not believe normal people would be so naïve. I believe there is a force driving them.

Recently Trevor Madondo, a socialite and broadcaster was cleared from a similar scam. His business partner together with her banker boyfriend planned to defraud a well-known  bank of 7 million rand.

Madondo's name has been unfortunately been dragged to this fiasco. One can't easily shed this weight of your back.

Again an investigative show would give us a sneak preview of what drove Trevor's associates into committing this horrible crime.

Safe Abortion

Is it really safe? Is it safe to end someone’s life that has not even started?

Amazingly our bill of rights says everyone has a right to life but in this regard it does not apply.

Everywhere I go I see these SAFE ABORTION posters. And I do not entirely blame the Dr Mamuyandichaza’s because clearly the business is in demand.


Excuse my wild mind but don’t the abortionists worry about what will happen to the foetus?

It’s unlike going to a dentist and asking for the rotten tooth afterwards to see what has been giving you sleepless nights.

Ending someone’s life should not be quick and easy. "30 minutes pain free" disgusts me.

I know the decision has not been reached easy and a lot of thought has been given to this but still it does not make it right.

How do you even begin thinking of aborting a six month old ‘foetus’? I am neither a doctor nor a medical practitioner but I do know by this time the baby has developed into a human being.

My government has and is discouraging back street abortion as it often endangers the life of the person thinking of aborting. But why are they not arresting back street  'doctors'?

When you engage in an unprotected sex, what do you expect? And turning to shortcuts with everlasting consequences because you do not want to take responsibility of your actions is unbelievable.

I do not question the decision of rape survivors who had to abort because they did not want to relive the ordeal but I would advise them to think twice about the decisions thereafter.

Zintanda, let’s make informed choices about our lives and not live for the moment and remember whatever you do today will catch up with you in the future.’Ayizukushiya le-bus.’

Enkosi.
