From an early age a child is taught about four seasons Spring Summer, Winter and Autumn. we know that Spring is the time where by plants reproduce pollen and reflorish, in Summer everything is bright, the plants, clothing and very hot outside, for South Africa, it is during Christmas time when people feel generous and have a lot of cash to spend, than there's Autumn when the changes, leaves fall off the trees, the grass turn brown, preparing for Winter, a very cold and dark season. Days are shorter and nights are long.
What parents and our teaachers from nursery school and on Television as well are all true, however what did not teach us about season, are seasons of life, that each and everyone of us go through. I wish my parents, particulary my mama taught me the rule regarding seasons, the seasons of tears, laughter and joy, season of being still and a season of losing. Growing up I didn't really notice these seasons, I'd feel lonely for a while but be okay eventually, I'd lose things shoes, toys, books, and there would be a time whereby I'm always over the moon and in a good mood than again I'd find myself crying a lot and isolating myself from my peers.
What i know for sure is that, God does things in mysterious ways just to remind us everyonce in a while that he is God incase we have forgotten or lost our way, hence he gives seasons, seaons to prosper us and strengthen our faith in Him and ourselves. He purposely let us go through rough, tough, times, cry and be broken down to humble us. I don't wanna sound like I'm preaching but I'm just letting yo'll know what I think, afterall my blogs are all about my thoughts and ideas.
I woke up down today, felt like it was all too much for me and that I just can't take it anymore and that I feel like picking up my bags and going home but than it dawn on me, if I don't waan go though those trails and tribulations who should? Atleast I can take but be able to still wake in the morning with a head held up high to protect this dream I have, a dream of prospering beyond the limitations that people have already made, judging me by my mistakes and certian qualities that I don't have, but I will fulfill the destiny that God the man above have created me for, plant my seeds while waiting for my season of tears, lonelyness, hunger and heartache to end, till than I will not give up, forget nor be comfortable nor lower my standards, I don't settle I go for what I want and I hit hard when I attack.

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!

Make-up Doesn't Cover Everything.
Society taught women that, make-up makes them beautiful, that is why sooo many women jut can not say uncovered with make-up. for that perception I blame the society as a a whole as well as that media \, because they too portray a picture that all the people on television are beautiful because of make-up.
Wanna hear my opinion? Here it goes, be warned, it wont be nice, true beauty comes from within, you are not beautiful from the inside than what the point of having a pretty face? we might as well call you just a no good for nothing elfih bitch. Yes I said it, BITCH. most people define a bitch as someone who sleeps around no that is a slut, a bitch is someone who finds joy in bringing people down, especially pretty people who've always had it easy than take it that they have to bully those who feel less confident about thier looks around as if they are thier slaves.
Ever heard the term "The prettiest people do the ugliest thing?", I don't entyirely agree with it nor disagree, pretty people do use thier good looks as an advantage everywhere and every opportunity they get and doing good to others will not only help you build instead of burning your bridges, you see make-up? make will never hide nor cover your guilty conscience nor hide the scars that gives you countless sleepless nights. Rather try something that wont fade so quickly, and do ber in mind that beauty too fades and while its still there.. hold on to ti because when its gone, people wont just see your ugly wrinkles but will laugh the hell out you since you stupid.
make-up is made to cover the outside not guilty concience you carry with you all day all, unless you'll swallow it of course.

Mr Perfect is as real as Batman or the Maskandi Artist who rose from the dead!
Ladies need to realise that there is no such thing as Mr Perfect, your man is a dog as all other men, he makes mistakes, enjoys beer, likes chilling with other men and probably does love you but preferes that you don't call him while his watching sport, especially soccer while his favourite team is playing, ask me how I know all this the question is, I've been around (chuckles).
Men are not all the same some are good but some are just dushbags, while some sure know how to hide their bad side, but eventually after a couple of months into the relationship reveal "that side". Don't get me wrong I'm not hating on men I loooove them, like really like having male figures around, but I've realised that they too in one way or another seek validity from women as much as women try to get as much acceptance from men. women boost male egos by giving compliments and appreciating little efforts they make to make women notice they care, take it from me, they aren't as confident as they pretend to be, they too look in the mirror and see all their imperfections, wish they could be held and make mistakes like every human being does.

Society and in one way or another our sisters, aunts, mothers and cousins haven't really given us young girls good examples when it comes to relationships, most women put with a lot of things that are unacceptable from men like abuse, be cheated on or mistreatment for money and emotional security than go around talking about the men in this as if they are perfect. News-flash we all know they are not, they make promises they can't keep, stand you up when you got ready for 2hours trying to look sexy for them, act like you are asking for too much when all you want is their attention, drink a lot and come home smelling cheap perfume... This things happen, men cheat, say insensitive things that truly hurt feelings, if you live your man, where are you going to find the perfect one?
There's no such thing as a perfect man, you just have to find yourself a man who loves your good side and loves you despite your faults, not all men are bad you just need to stop looking in all the wrong places for relationships, you wont find a husband in a club all you'll get is a one-night-stand that will leave upset and all alone. if he's nice don't assume he likes you, some people date when they are bored.

Lies! Lies! Lies!
A lie is a deliberately false statement, or a statement intended to deceive- whether or not it is literally true. once you start lying you have to lie over and over again to cover up the previous lie, some say they lie to protect the ones they love honestly speaking a lie is nothing but deciet and it sets people aback.
People lie about thier ages, where-abouts, thoughts, true feelings and thier past, to me keeping quiet about a matter you knew very well that concerns me is as good as lying because it means you intentionally with-held the truth from me.
White lies are minor lies which could be considered to be harmless, or even beneficial, in the long term. White lies are also considered to be used for greater good. A common version of a white lie is to tell only part of the truth, therefore not be suspected of lying, yet also conceal something else, in order to avoid awkward questions.An exaggeration (or hyperbole) occurs when the most fundamental aspects of a statement are true, but only to a certain degree. It is also seen as "stretching the truth" or making something appear more powerful, meaningful, or real than it actually is.
To bluff is to pretend to have a capability or intention one does not actually possess. Bluffing is an act of deception that is rarely seen as immoral when it takes place in the context of a game, such as poker, where this kind of deception is consented to in advance by the players. For instance, a gambler who deceives other players into thinking he has different cards to those he really holds, or an athlete who hints he will move left and then dodges right is not considered to be lying (also known as a fient or juke). In these situations, deception is acceptable and is commonly expected as a tactic.
One thing is for sure we all lie, we different reasons for doing so but lie and lie and lie! lol
