Some reasons i hate white people. [you know, because of all the hating white people i do!]

i hate white people! i know, i know, i could barely believe it myself when i found out, but having heard so many people suggest it on my blog the past week or two [some in comments i chose not to print due to their not-fit-to-be-read-by-other-humans content] it really must be true. It started when i started suggesting that i don't think white people are better than black people [if i had a dollar for [...]

Let There Be Good!

If you, like me, are a bit sick and tired and heading towards overwhelmed by all the bad news stories we have to take in online [from mass killings in Nigeria to dead cartoonists to children in schools re-enacting dog fights to live cattle being attacked in a turned over truck] then we should do something about it. There is so much to be done, and it can overwhelm, but ONE THING that can start [...]

How can man die better – part economic justice

This is the last passage i will be sharing from the book, 'Robert Sobukwe: How Can Man Die Better' [because you do need to go and get a copy and read the whole thing, you know!] And this is a look forward to how Sobukwe might have felt about the current situation with a big focus on justice and what i think lies ahead of us in terms of a move from racial focus to [...]

How painful is getting a tattoo?

So a lot of people without tattoos ask the question, 'Just how painful is it?' The reason they don't know is that it is a very tough question to answer. But i will give it a shot. Also it is important to know that where you get your tattoo makes a difference - while inside of the arm has some degree of pain to it, i can quite imagine it is not as bad as [...]

The Story of My Tattoo

Following on from the previous post asking if it is okay for a follower of Jesus to get a tattoo, i thought i would share the story behind my tattoo: THE PLACE For the longest time i thought it was going to be tennis ball sized and on my left shoulder. Then quite recently, when i started seriously thinking about it [has been on and off thought for at least five years] i realised that [...]

Is it okay for a Christ-follower to get a tattoo? [Part I – Yes. And No!]

i have been asked this question a lot, from the Christ-following perspective of 'Is it okay for a Christian to get a tattoo or not?' And then yesterday i got my first one and so my opinion on the matter should be pretty easy to figure out. The one verse i am aware of that speaks of it directly, can be found in Leviticus 19.28 which i thought said, 'Do not cut your bodies for the dead,' [...]

Taboo Topics: Cancer – meet Noemi and Zofeya

The domino moment…Most of you have experienced some sort of 'domino moments' in your life which you will never forget. Some are good, some are bad but that single moment shifted your life and changed it forever. Our moment happened sitting in a hospital room and being told that our 4 year old daughter Zofeya had a brain tumour. The world around you crumbles and although everything has changed in this single moment, you know [...]

Listen up, South Africa – Avuyile Tu here…

A rendition from the heart: Wouldn’t it be great to wake up one day and see everyone living at peace with each other? Wouldn’t it be wonderful that no one harboured feelings of resentment and injustice with the other instead we stand side by side as brothers? I yearn and hunger for a South Africa of equality in life and in living standards. I long for a land where the needs of the majority are [...]

the joy of friends who hurt you

This is my buddy Dunc, who is my best friend from school and who tbV and i are currently staying with while we try find a place to live [as well as his wife Megan and sons Connor and Ryan]. Three times a week he intentionally causes me a lot of pain... ...and it's great! Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses. Well, to be more accurate he ensures that [...]

Listen up, South Africa – Nkosi Gola here…

New Years National Resolution I think the best time of the year for one to make their resolutions it is none other than the beginning of each year. Each year most people individually makes these resolutions in accordance to ones aspirations and endeavors. I think just as much as personal resolutions are made also nations resolutions are as important. I think if we can have our nations resolutions we can possible have the national goal, [...]
