I remember a time when I was in Grade 1, a magician visited our school. My parents had told me not to go because "ke dilo tja Sathane" (the devil's things)đbut somehow I was convinced that my teachers would punish me if I didnt attend this magician's session that the entire school seemed to be...

One thing that stresses people out is thinking that there is no more fish in the sea. If you have a burning and genuine desire to do something, then someone else breaks out in the same field, we tend to think that the person has taken up all the market we were meant to impact... Continue Reading →
There has probably been one point or another in your life where you may have felt that God is not with you despite the fact that He promised in His Word that He will never leave you nor forsake you. How do you then continue to walk with Him even though He feels absent? I... Continue Reading →
I studied mechanical engineering, which is historically a white and male dominated field. This means that many of us (black people) practicing in the field do not have fathers or grandfathers who practiced this, who understand these concepts or might even have companies.

"There you go Miss. Congratulations on your title deed." Cindy smiled as she took the papers from the clerk's hands at the deed office.

" Fellow South African...", a phrase our president Cyril Ramaphosa often says when he is about to relay an important message to the country. He did so about three weeks ago, telling us of the state's decision to enforce a lock down. Back then, 21 days seemed like it would be so long. 21 days... Continue Reading →
