My Voix My Way

The day of Monday the 17th of April started of as peaceful as ever, little did I know what was coming my way. O I decided to go back to Bloemfontein and when I arrived at the taxi stop I met an old friend whom we haven't been talking for a while now. He seemed cold in fact didn't look interested in talking to me so after I chatted him up I stood outside in wait for the the people to come. It also seems that for some one or other reason my mind was preoccupied and even right now I cannot figure out the what it was that was on my mind. When I started writing this I forgot to mention that I have been losing things a lot since 2013 you see this is the beginning of the story which is actually the end.....

It just so happens that my friend and I went to the movies last week . We have been raving about going so we finally went there to watch "Hidden Figures" starring Taraji P. Henson, Janelle Monae and Octavia Spencer. This is a real story about a group of african american women who changed the world of NASA. When I saw the preview, It did not occur to me that this movie was about colonialism and to this degree but I knew it was about empowering women so I needed to watch it no matter what, so my partner in crime was game and we headed to Nu-metro. It is an amazing story which features the struggle women faced in the workplace and how being black, female and educated did not matter at all. We are taken through a world of three women who changed the world of engineering and the difference in power of how men ruled the mechanics world, The story follows three women who are mathematician, Mary has always wanted to be an engineer but in a world where being black and a woman who ...

I believe it is a week today that the SONA (State of the Nation Address) for those of you who do not know what this is, when the presidency decides to make a mockery of South Africa or rather the parliament. It also seems that they get worse every year and guess what all of us were looking forward to all of that which turned out to be the best movie ever produced here. I am not here to tell you what is wrong nor who is wrong but mainly to give you a voice of what has happened. The EFF was kicked out of parliament and the DA simply walked out; now we all kmow that EFF speak a lot of sense but their approach does not do them any justice at all as they tend to act like spoiled children asking for a toy in the shop and when their request is not granted they rebel and throw themselves on the floor which we all know has never had any effect except getting a beating when you got home. In this scenario we will treat the ANC as the parents who need to be taught a lesson but do not want to lis...

I have been observant to the year 2016's post lately we have received so much bad news and situations that we gave it a slogan "It only gets worse". We have one through so much and unlike every other year everything seemed a little more tense than normal and we to some it was a time where hope was lost. I wrote my exams afterwards I then decided to go home and support my friend however afterwards i decided to go see my mom in Vryburg. I have not been listening to music just downloading alot of it and hoping I will listen to it during my travels. I was listening to Justin Bieber's new album and one the track titled " Children " made my ears itch a little more than usual. The song speaks of being visionaries and fighting for the young ones future. It speaks about how much we want to change the world for the young ones, being the generation and aspiration  to fight for the future and the difference whether or not our hearts are big enough to to die for what w...

I have lived in a town called Vryburg in the North West during my high school years. This town is not far from a small town called Taung which is where my sister and a few of their friends annually go spend a weekend. We have heard stories about this town growing up and this was my first time staying a little bit longer. This trip started three years ago and every year since then we have put together our money and resources to make it happen. It is called the Manthe weekend, it is filled with fun, food, traditional partying as well as strengthened friendships and too much offloading. It was my first time this year and I will be letting you in on my experience. We plan for this trip on the last day of the weekend which is on a Sunday. The trip kick starts on a Friday where everyone leaves their respective places to the venue. We buy everything that we will need for the weekend in advance so that when we get there, we do not run around but stay at the lodge and have enough tim...

I do not understand the figure looking back at me, thats what I thought after washing my face. The past did not look bleak nor blurry anymore in actual fact I was happy about what had happened and its funny how I was hoping to get over it quicker. Your sweet disposition and how long we gaze into each others eyes, and you might be okay but I am not fine at all. I walk around like I have everything under control but honestly it is nothing but pieces of me scattering and the floor getting dirty. I smile in the hope that I will be able to pick up the pieces and clean myself up because BIG GIRLS DON'T CRY and the world does not care, worst of all you could not be bothered. You broke me like a promise and I'm paralysed, I feel numb and seeing you everywhere is not helping me and I wish I could look at you and hate every bit of you. I have been doing my best to get to hate you but I have been unsuccessful in doing so even after you ill treated me I kept on loving you but I coul...
