Heritage Day

Some how I find no words to honor this day. The 24th September is known to be a day of remembrance for South Africans.

But yet to me; no words come for me to show that honor and pride for this day.

I see and feel that a lot of us, especially most Black South Africans-we stare and look back so hard at the past that we forget the opportunities and doors of success right here open in front of us. HERE AND NOW

Yes, it is good and wise to know your past (imvelaphi) and yes we all should be proud of where we have been and fought to be where we are today.

Heritage should be holding on to your roots but allowing room to wisdom and new ways of improving the past.

Let’s move away from old ways- ways done in the past (kwakunje)
Put blame aside and work on our own intentions.

Intentions of creating our own new nature, future and culture of indifference of our skin or language and equality.

Do not forget where you come from, but embrace the future and change that it brings.

Be open to change

‘Hope this day was not only of remembrance of where you from but a light of where you are headed.

Think again

May God show way and open your eyes to a better future… People are lost and led by the blind. Solutions: Vote for someone else on the poles rather than Mbeki or Zuma…vote for a president that will be not in scandals and someone who will bring unity and fresh ideas. These people do not have the power with out your vote. You hold the power to free us from all this shame. For almost a decade if not more, we have lived as a united/ rainbow nation with every one welcome and appreciated… and now, all of a sudden there are noticeable differences. All along you did not see the man next to you is from Zimbabwe and now they are in crisis all of a sudden you see an enemy. Fine let’s say- all the Zimbabweans go home as you wish…what then? Will you be able to provide the service that they provided? Will you be able to demote yourself and take an offer that you know very well that you are worth double the value? No, you won’t. I hope that we are aware that what we do has consequences; the blood you ...
