Dear Dad...
Everything was fine, everything was going ok. How did we get to this stage? Is this really happening? Vele i lost you? Just like that? Dude the pain you left me with i cant bare it. Its way too painful daddy. I want to believe that you are in a better place now. Where theres no pain. Yes pops you were in so much pain i didn't know what to do. I didn't know how to talk to you. But i was always there by your side. You couldn't even see me properly, you only knew it was me because of my voice. I watched you every weekend screaming in pain. It was way much for me to handle. However I've never thought that you would leave me. I prayed day in and out. The last time i saw you was the most painful day of my life. How you were screaming of pain how you were breathing. You didn't even look like the guy i know. My best friend... Ive never lived my life not even a week would pass without us talking. Now no you and i dont know how to begin. Daddy ntse ole strong hlem, what happened? Theres so much i wanted to tell you. The last weekend i saw you i asked you to heal and you said ketla leka ngwanaka... Those words they gave me hope daddy. I held your fingers and your vibrating yeeer. Kanty that was your goodbye. You know im your girl and without you things are gonna be hard. 💞 Dude can i see you one last time ke??? Papa.. Love you soo much... And you know that!

Amukelani Rikhotso
(25) a young lady from Ivory park, Midrand, has managed to do what most youths
of today couldn’t do. She’s young but already thinking ahead. Youths at her age
are already thinking of alcohol, what to wear and who to milk. Amu is one of a
kind. She decided to start her own business (Amus Hair Therapy) where she sells
wigs and Brazilian weaves. The business so far is doing well and she’s not
giving up. She says her motivation is money and laughs.
The Good out of Amu.
Amukelani decided
to give back to the community with the little that she has. Mind you she is not
from a rich or a well-established family. All that she is doing is to create a better
life and living for herself and family. Isn’t what all youths are supposed to
be doing, since well it is almost impossible getting a job these days if you don’t
know anyone is any industry.
Today she
has decided to start an initiative #TakeAGirlToMatricDance, here she makes sure
that girls from different schools that cannot afford to go to matric dance are
able to go there. She provided them with hair, makeup, and dresses.
Amus Inspirations
She wishes
to see her business grow into something big and her being able to help those
who cannot help themselves. Amukelani also wishes to build a home for the
disadvantaged and abused. Not everyone can do what she is doing; it definitely has
to be from the heart.
Those who
would like to contact her can do so, on the following contacts

My BABY FIRST
By Rebecca Masina
We fall in love, and it is all great and all that. All the confusions go away. You love more than anything as if he has bought you the heaven on earth. Making it easier to stand on both feet. It hurts but feels so damn good right? You don’t know what to do because you are so in love and the feeling it’s indescribable. It is so sweet that you know what, you say screw condom. Screw protection. It's soo nice so precious so amazing.
Months down the line you are pregnant and then the reality kicks in. He kicks you out of his place. What have you done? You left your apartment that your parents were paying for you to stay at. You went on to live with him without telling your parents that you now have a boyfriend and you live with him why?? Because you knew they wouldn't allow fat n sit right? It hurts yet it is great. That the feeling you get when you are in love.
The world becomes the best place to live in. After he has kicked you out with your three months tummy and you have lost your job, you now resort to going back home and tell your parents that you are expecting and the father of your child is not interested. What are we doing to our parent's though? They sent us to school to better our lives and we give them masepa as a thank you.
However with that said, ladies, the best thing to do is to put your baby first, and the rest shall come later. No need to rush. No need to feel like you need a man to keep your life going. And the most important fact that ladies should know is that it is a blessing to have a child but only when the blessing came at the right time.
Put your baby first. Men later,
Remember no one makes the other one pregnant but the both of you made a baby. You know very well the results of unprotected sex. Don’t act.
Do not give babies to girlfriends and boyfriends,
Lesson learned the hard way
Beautiful Young Lady
By Rebecca Masina
Beautiful, as you are you still don’t know what you want in life but a man to keep you busy? Mara why? How about you seek someone who’s going to instil self-love and appreciation than to make you think that you are nothing without them? Ausy you deserve better than you think you do. Choose education and success before men. Men will always be there. It’s not like when you choose to go to school and become independent you going to find them dead or taken.
Raetsa, if he’s not yours he aint yours lovey. Stop forcing. You are only 22 years of age but already crying about a man who doesn’t give you attention, keng wa gafa? Do you know what your age mates are thinking about? Career objectives, books, cars, clothes and success and wena you are here thinking about a man whose not even your age but your parents age. Are you sure you are ok? We not judging but hey. There’s more to life than men nana. The worst thing about all this is that, the man that you are crying about is married and has a family and he’s educated with master’s degree in engineering. Wena dololo.
Wake up, phaphama love. Most girls would die to have their own hoses, cars and great careers. But wena all you do is to think about a man who’s not giving you attention at the age of 22? Huh. A lady should be self-motivated and men should be running after you while you walking with your six inch heels babe and some Brazilian or Peruvian weave lovey.
Do not neglect yourself because of love, hell no love won’t pay bills and definitely men won give you success. At least if you were with a guy that advices you to go to school and get your degree in whatever you are ambitious about. Unless wena you are ambitious about him then aretse.
Skado you are still young and deserve much more than a man who is married with kids and only gives you attention when he wants your ass. Fortunately you don’t have a kid with him, move on and look for your age mates, people who will instil morals in your head, self-love and intelligent. Remember kuku ya hao won’t work for you forever but your education will take you an long way.
REJECTION
By Rebecca
Rejection is
the most painful yet the best lesson in life. Have you ever been rejected? It
doesn’t not matter how you get rejected but hey it really hit the nerve hey.
The pain you get from being rejected is super deep. It’s like you have been
stabbed with a sharp knife. We all in some way have been rejected and we all
handle rejection differently.
Love…
something so nice yet very hard to find. Something so amazing yet comes with
the biggest hurt ever. We mostly love where we are not loved and we turn to not
even notice that until we are hurt or rejected. I don’t think there is master
of handling rejection. If you are there contact us, share with us on how to
handle it.
It is said
and believed that where we are lived we don’t love. Well there’s always a lesson
there hey. Have you ever had a time where you thought you and that person are
dating but ai ke that person is on some friend zone tip? Well that on its own
its rejection at best.
We later
realized that being single and minding your own business is actually the best
and let love come when it’s ready and you as well. I thin rejection is a lesson for us to put
focus on ourselves and live life to the fullest.
Tae note,
rejection hurts big time.
Young Single Mother
By Rebecca Masina
The worst that any women be of young or old is to have her kids growing up without their father. We all want whats best for our kids but sometimes the situation does not allow us. Some we grew up not knowing what a father is, so we practically fail in that department. We dream to have our dads by our sides every minute to guide us there and there. Yeap we do know that mothers are the best and the strongest, but hey that daddy we also need just for assurance and love. A daughters best friends is her daddy right?
What you did not know is that we/women don’t choose to be single mothers. Sometimes we learn the hard way. No regrets, we love what we have, what we have been blessed with. Careful, single mothers are way protective over their kids. They hold the end of the needle and sharp knife with confidence. All that just to protect their kids.
Ooh yes it is what it is. Today we are grown and know a lot, most probably more that our parents (joking). Just because you became parents at an early age it doesn’t mean the end of your dreams. We/women study, get degrees and work hard, become entrepreneurs and successful young women and motivators. We don’t let anything to hold us back. We are self-motivated and willing to go an extra mile to fulfill our dreams. We doing us. Making our parents and kids proud.
Just because they left you with a child or children it doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to be loved or be in relationship. Yes you have learnt a lot but that’s life and you cannot control it. Embrace life so you could be happy. Embrace happiness my sister. Be you, be happy. Live life to the fullest but not to prove a point to anyone. Do you. Be proud of being a young, motivated mother.
With that said, it doesn’t mean that just because you now have a child, you cannot get love, you cannot be appreciated and all. Single mothers also deserve love and to be treated like queens. Yes they have failed relationships with kids, whom some of you who don’t know anything about blessings call them baggage. Well it’s unto you to love her with her kid but NO she won’t choose you over her child. It doesn’t work like that.
Look into HIM
Look into HIM
By Rebecca Masina
We may not all believe in God, but to those who do, I am pretty sure that you will understand this.
It is hard to live in this world today. Many of teenagers and youths we all resort to suicide when things do not go our own way, which it is not a good choice. There are a lot of things that one can do but not suicide. There’s always help out there. We all go through different challenges, some are easy, some are hard to deal with but we do not resort to suicide. The most painful thing is being an orphan and having no one to talk to. It hurts, not a bit but very hard. It’s more like being stabbed with sharp knife just next to the heart.
Have you tried talking to God? That’s if you do believe in HIM. Some may say the same God we pray took our parents away from us, and some may say He never responds. It’s been years and till today He’s been quiet. What kind of God does that? Why me? Those are some of the questions that most of us will be asking ourselves. But we know Gods timing is always the best. Take a deep breath and think about what good you have to this far. What the Great Lord has done for you. Life itself is something big that you should be thankful for.
How about you Try Again,, And This Time Try With God. Believe and trust.
Look into him.
Be the best version of you
By Rebecca Masina
Aint you tired of always envying other people’s lives? Well I am not saying that it is wrong to envy other people or any good thing. Don’t you think that it is time for you to make yourself more visible? More reliable to important people in your life? How about self-motivating yourself?
Well I personally think that you can be the best version of yourself and let yourself be envied as well. Change your life not for the bad but also for the best. Do something that you never thought that you are capable of doing. Challenge yourself.
Allow yourself to dream and make things possible. Allow yourself to be criticizedWell today it is the last Friday of the year. Have you ever thought about what you want to have achieved by next year this time?
Allow positivity to run your life. Love and be loved. Respect and be respected. You give what you want to be given back.
“We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us”. Joseph Campbell
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
FESTIVE SEASON 2016
Festive season 2016
By Rebecca Masina
It is that time of the year where families get to get together and have an awesome time. The only thing people do not pay attention to is their safety. Drivers are urged to be extra vigilant on the roads. Persons safety first. You do not want to regret at the last minute. Nkabe ke ngwana mo rago. If you know what I mean. Yes, we love this time of the year. We lose our mind, and we go wild and crazy, but with maturity and cautiousness, you could save a lot of lives.
Some of the tips for this festive season to take note of:
Budget
Watch out how you spend. Do not spend like there is no next year just to impress people who do not add value to your life.
Be wise
Put your money into good use and do what is most important before going to waste it on friends whom don’t even know your surname.
Drink carefully
Drinks are going to be spiked. Make sure that you take care of your drink and you do not leave it open. Go with it where ever you go, even if it is the toilet.
Money
Do not walk around carrying cash, the best option is to always leave your cards at home and take the only money you will need for drinks and transport. When it is done then you know it is time to go home, and you have spent enough. This will also help prevent when you get mugged, you particulars including your money is safe.
Avoid unnecessary fights.
Fights will only lead to death in this day and age. You only survive by luck
People take good care of yourselves,
Nkabe ke ngwana morago.
16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM- PLAY YOUR PART
16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM- PLAY YOUR PART
By Rebecca Masina
YES, it is that time again, and No we don’t only have to do this on each December of every year calendar. What about every day? Hmm doesn’t it sounds better? Well not only are women and children abused but men as well are abused, and they are sitting in silence fearing that they will be laughed at if they speak up. Askere men are believed to be the heads their families? But I tell you, there are many men not only in South Africa but across the world that are abused and only scared to come out.
We live in a society that everything has already been planned out. Like “Monna ga alle-men don’t cry” eeh where have you seen that? Aren’t they humans as well? Don’t they ever get hurt? Aowa they are not robots hey. Let’s love and respect them and not laugh when they are in pain.
The following is a guide of what 16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM is all about:
The objectives of the 16 Days Campaign are to:
•Attract all South Africans to be active participants in the fight to eradicate violence against women and children, hence the theme: Count me in.
•Expand accountability beyond the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security (JCPS) cluster to include all government clusters and provinces.
•Combine technology, social media, the arts, journalism, religion, culture and customs, business and activism to draw attention to the many ways violence against women and children affects the lives of all people in all communities around the world.
•Ensure mass mobilization of all communities to promote collective responsibility in the fight to eradicate violence against women and children.
•Encourage society to acknowledge that violence against women and children is NOT a government or criminal justice system problem, but a societal problem, and that failure to view it as such results in all efforts failing to eradicate this scourge in our communities.
•Emphasise the fact that the solution lies with all of us.

LIFE WILL HUMBLE YOU
Life will humble you
By Rebecca Masina
Have you ever thought about what may happen the following day? It may be based on your life or anything that is in your life. No one is ever sure about tomorrow. That is how life works. If you think that you are better than the next person, well wev got news for you! Re tla bona laka moso gore letlhaba jwang.
Just because I do not have anything in my life that I do not deserve respect. With today’s life, loyalty is everything. Humble yourself dear child, and you shall see what the good Lord has planned for you. Accept and appreciate every little thing that is being presented to you.
Have you ever thanked a small child for doing something for you? Or is it because ke ngwana, swanetse a romiwe? Mmh think about it. What you do to people, you should also know that you will not get hurt when it is being done onto you.
Bobe ka bobe ase bophelo.
Remember to always be true to yourself and do not live up to other people’s expectations. People don’t have to like you and you also do not have to care but always be considerate. Be a strong individual, be brave, and mostly BE HUMBLE.
Be happy for other people’s success and stop hating.
LIVE LOVE and BE HAPPY
