Scramble for Women’s month presented on Toastmasters

I don’t think we should wait for August to celebrate women. Considering the fact that every month women go through a period of pains, and timeously the 9 months of labour and yet be able to brighten up our days… Fellow toastmasters, we are at a difficult time, worse than the time of the 1956 women, the struggle is at a different landscape than it was in the years leading to 1956. Women find…

My Toastmaster Ice breaker speech

A research by Gary Lubyan and Daniel Swingley finds that “People often talk to themselves, yet very little is known about the functions of this self-directed speech” in such regard that; studies observed the commonality of children spending considerable time talking to themselves. Let it then not surprise you when I say; I have been writing speeches for as long as I can remember but I was…

Covid-19 philanthropists

Covid-19 came like HIV/Aids, suddenly people want to save, change society and the world at large, yet their aspiration is self enrichment. How are they going to change the world when their principles are primarily centred on volumes and income, a dilemma of trade-offs… what do they call them, philanthropists not entrepreneurs? A system of a ‘willing buyer, willing seller’ kind of love……

2021

I’ve sat with em, shared a laughter and shed a tear with em, they were my friends, colleagues and some families, they taught me how to do work on my profession… since March 2020 they’d been dying, we buried them, but we still here not because we were better but fortunate… Thank you Lord, Camagu ko Bhayi 👏🏿 Before nine o’clock, before 2020 ends at 21:00, according to our South African minister of…

iZulu love letter

A gift of life is life itself

At my knees

As I burn an incense,

early hours of the morning.

Fire from a candle,

A nip of gin, a shot to myself,

shot to my great warrior kings and queens

My dearest forefathers

a tin of snuff in my hand

Trying to connect with my inner being

Tradition that lingers on

An act of African customs

Significant gesture of gratitude

Calling them by their…

Yesterday, today and ... COVID-19

Yesterday, today and … COVID-19

Yesterday, today and tomorrow in tenses

Past, we wondered these dirty streets,

Unswept pavements with broken bottles and,

drinking glasses that stabbed generations

as they drank themselves to death,

Whilst dancing to sounds of disruption,

From music to voices

Rants here and there,

today the streets are forcefully at peace.

Presently we miss walking,

same spaces we walked a month ago, touch and go

Ngesiquphe singahlelile

Liyabhubh’ihlabathi

Neli lixa lizodlula.

Ibhentsil’inkxalabo

Inkxunguphal’ uxhatshazwa

kukuxhaphazela kwamaphaphu.

Ngenxa yokuphaxwa nokuxikizwa

Zizifo zemihl’esiphila kuyo.

Ubuxikixiki nobuxakaxak’

Inqab’intw’engenasiphelo.

The real essential members of our community

Politicians always thought they were the only ones that are holding the country, but it’s the teller from a retail store (food and pharmacy), the black garden men and women who make sure the white farming lands are well take care of so to produce more crops, the petrol attendants, the security officers at every entrance and exit, at any cash vehicle transporting monies to ATM’s, it’s the Miner at…

This time

I APPRECIATE ALL OF THOSE ESSENTIAL SERVANTS WHO ARE UNDERPAID BUT CHARGED WITH SUCH DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF CARRYING FOR THEIR PEOPLE, I SALUTE YOU!!!

I have seen medical doctors and nurses crying fearful of their lives,

I have heard Business owner’s, CEO’s of big organizations such as Edcon weeping in need of keeping companies afloat amid and beyond the virus, most importantly to be able…

Beyond Corona 🦠

One thing positive about the whole corona virus is it’s openness.

Solidarity – Government support and stakeholders, businesses and health organizations, communities around the globe. It’s amazing, and most of it all is the people’s disclosure of corona virus which has normalized the virus in such a way that it has become so easier to willingly get examined and so easy to say; “I have contracted…

Your hand writing is powerful.

I love your hand of writing,

The moment you put your thoughts together with your feelings and experiences against a pen and a paper.

It’s movements – thread by thread.

As it shakes within my deeps,

the strengths of the nuts and bolts that fastened my life.

Have you been there?

I love your hand of writing

How it navigates in my past, present and future without ever meeting you.

How your story…
