AmaBerete are terrorising the townships of South Africa!

During Bheki Cele's reign as the head of the police force invented the unite where by policemen in berets instead of hats like other units would work closely with the people. Their jobs are to protect the society and make sure that there is order in the townships reducing the crime rate.

People in the townships in South Africa don't have it as easy as people in the suburban areas, to be honest, when power or water shortages start, they are the first to be affected, that can go for days without any notifications, warnings or any form of communication from the departments that run these necessities, it been that way since from the apartheid, so people are sort of immune to it. people just make the best of what they have now, their freedom, making money, working or generally doing their day-to-day routines as they please.

The South African townships has a lot of problems, or rather things that are not going well but the  current problem that people have is the the manner in which police terrorise our township. the whole point of having police in the country is so we could have people to keep the country safe, enforce the law and arrest those who go against the law, but somehow people have lost faith in the SAPS (South African Police Service), policemen beat, rape, steal and demand bribes from the citizens. Didn't apartheid end and democracy begin in 1994? what were people voting for? for this? I don't think so. People voted for the ANC to gain freedom, freedom of speech, freedom to do what they want, whenever as long as their rights do not infringe on the other person's rights.

AmaBerete (the men in berets) are brutal they sets specific time people should walk in the streets at  night, they burge in tavern, bars, shebeens and just search people without warrants, just a week ago on 3rd degree a footage of the beating and searching people was taken and shown tin national television, police brutality needs to stop! although those people were drinking but that didn't mean they did not have rights, amaBerete need to be either stopped or go back to school and learn the laws that South African citizens have because by the look of things they do not have a clue... This is a democratic country, people cannot be mistreated just because you are police, you enforce the law but that doesn't mean that you are above it.

The Marikana Massacre

The disastor that happened in Marikana proves that, South Africa still has a long way to go... Can you image, people who work in the mines, they sweat thier butts off for the wealth of this country day in day out, digging gold and minerals and the mine owners don't even have the decencey to appreciate them with a proper salary?

I don't even want to mention how these people died while striking for better salaries, in this recession who would appreciate earning R1 000.00 a month, can you imagine being a bread winner and yet earning that kind of money? What can you buy with such a small salary? The government seems to undermine the most important workers regarding the wealth of the country, yet these people work in dangerous conditions, earn close to nothing not forgetting thier residential places... when will things change? When will illiterate people get the same respect, treatment and resources as the rich and well connected people?

                                  

On the 16th of June 1976, students were fighting for thier education, so was the employees who died in Marikana, the police have the responsibility to protect, keep safe, enforce the law and arrest all those who commit crime, do they do that? NO! They rape women, hit men and now? Now they killed people, thirty four innocent people, just like the police in 1976. those people had the right to life and the police did not have the right to take those lives, just because they enforce the law it doesn't mean that they are above the law nor the people, and the did not even have the decency to apolise... We as South Africans. we need to stand up against police brutality, they abuse people way too much we need to take a stand. Yes they said there wasn't anything they could've done because these people were armed, don't COSATU and Municipal workers arm and damage property in the Joburg CBD? do they shoot and kill them? No, the pour water on them, so why kill these mine workers?

All the Head of police had to say was that the police had nothing else to do? Does she think she's God? did they give these people life just to take it away, just like that? South Africa has a long way to go, we need to take all the SAPS members back to school so they could remeber what it means to be in the SAPS, they think they own the country and they can do what they please with anyone, the massacre ruined the country's reputation, first it was the xenophobic attacks, now this this? this is not the democracy we vote for, that my forefathers fought for, it can't be!

They were parents, friends, brothers, lovers, workers and thier presence was important to people who knew them, not money in the world would replace them, no matter how expensive thier coffins may be or the amount of money that would be coughed up, every life is import and no one has the right to take thr life of another.

May the souls of the thirty four men rest in peace!

Love and Lust is the down fall of many...

Love is basically the validation that one is worth something in this world, if you not loved by the one person you bonded with before anyone knew your existence in this world, which is your mother really does live a big ass whole i your heart, the trueth is, we all want to be loved, rich, poor, fat or thin.

the ultimate victory in anyone's life is to find love, one may have money, lots of cars. expensibe clothes, jewellery and shoes but all in the end we want love, yes LOVE, why? you may ask because when you are loved you are wanted, there's a sense of warmth that is unexplainable you feel, life ain't so empty. Hence so many people have tried to define the four letter word but have'nt really found satisfaction, although we all know that its a feeling, an unexplainable feeling, it feels good, gives you a glow, a sense of belonging.

The truth is love ends or fades rather, although in my personal opinion I think we never really get over certian people we just find other people to think about,,, but what does one do when the LOVe is gone? start hating? scheme to plan the downfall of another? cry for days and shut yourself out of the world or simply stalk that person til he/she loves you back? the truth is you can never make some one love you no matter what you do, it will be totally up to that person to love and love the best way that they think they can not in a way that you want them to. the  resean LOVe has been the downfall of my is because we tend to have expectations of the other person without considering that the person we seek love from might not neccessarily return the love we give nor give us what we want in the exact form that we want the love returned.

The reason why LOVE is the downfall of my is because we give too much to people who wouldn't neccessarily give the same, had they had been in our situation. women often fall prey to men selfish men who buy them expensive clothes, cars, trips to the world and lead us to believe that they love us, make choose to be with them than with our friends, isolate us from family, all in the name of love, some women even give up thier dreams for men who leave them with children, STIs, the HIV virus, bitterness and trust issues... Who wants damged goods? No one! yet men continue to damage and take our innocence.

Say whatever you want, but LOVE is a losing game and if are not careful (not that you can control your feelings or measure how attached you can get) who you fall for and NEVER and I mean EVER turn your back on your dreams for a person in the name of love because LOVE fades and disappoints, trusst me I learned from the BEST!
