South Africa is imperfect in very many, systemic and heartbreaking ways, but man it’s also really nice to see things like freedom of expression, freedom of the press, freedom of association in real time. An election is a real pressure test of those things, and we do okay.
I just know he’s going to be easy to trace because he’s probably the one guy who loves Siya Kolisi a bit too much 😩 he gave himself away during the worldcup already, I just know it
He did right. It’s the dad’s job to prevent his daughter from becoming a future thot because a lot of mothers will let it happen and play like it’s cute
I stopped in A small town called Bethlehem in Freestate . On an Easter weekend .
Bethlehem is also the name of the city where Jesus was born .
I find it s bit poetic .
We ended up agreeing that I would take them both but then their demands got crazier. My friend’s daughter insisted that her mom must also join us for the sleepover. Ngabona nje ukuthi we are not dealing with real people so omunye nomunye must go to their homes.
There’s a kind of patience that is required in teaching. You guys don’t create a safe space for children and there aren’t enough auxiliary services to sufficiently intervene but it isn’t the child’s fault and if we (especially y’all) were honest, you’d know
Because the kids who mostly need that attention are the ones who are disruptive and they never want to learn. The smart kids on the other hand listen. When you organize extra classes, the smart ones will come but those who actually need help are nowhere to be found.
I feel like it’s easy to say this when your parents know boundaries. I say this because it means you’d have grown up knowing that you have control over your own life and that if you express it, there’ll be no consequences from your parents
This is strongly my thing. I get the importance of programmes but the majority of the efforts need to be directed at the adults having sex with children 🤷🏿♀️
Shoot the men getting them pregnant.
Problem solved.
But no, it’s endless programs targeted at teenage girls when the actual source of the problem everywhere is adult men deliberately targeting and grooming teenage girls into sex.
Teenagers are CHILDREN.
Manipulation
Lack of principles (most of the decisions a person has to make when you get to a certain age, aren’t wrong or right but are guided by principles I feel)
Can’t compliment people ever
There’s a huge difference between being a generous girlfriend and being motho a jowang ke bashimane and it’s got nothing to do with love. Lona le batla go mask’a go tsherana ka ‘I’ll do anything for love’ and ha le batle go kgalemelwe
Life is easier when you choose to do the principled thing at all times
Journal, pray and manifest
There is so much power in the things I say about my life. Truly, I get it all
Clothes look better tailored and well thought out before being purchased
Make a vision board
I want to pick a day out of my extremely busy schedule to go on a fiancé-cation with this specific man that I love a lot, out in Europe and visit a cute cathedral in a beige off white dress just to hear Mass and appreciate God and what He has done for me properly.
Le nna.
Im also learning make up, doing my hair, dressing better, eating healthy, putting my phone down, travelling, working, going to church, reading books, saving & spending better, praying, journaling, scripting and manifesting 🥺
The year is 2005, the community of Mangaung is TORMENTED by a criminal called ‘chicken’. The guy is on the run and all sorts of stories about his ‘powers’ are spreading like wild fire. Needless to say everyone was indoors by sunset for the duration of his escapades
My favourite thing about Ntate Thuso is his activism for Sesotho. He will play an ad and critique the pronunciation of words right on air and I respect that. Matter of fact, I love that
I’m trying to come up with one single scenario or moment and idk which one to go with, I think I’ve never doubted that he loves me. Perhaps it’s in moments like these where I have this confidence that I’m loved, that I realise he loves me
I don’t think it’s a pretty girl thing. Every woman is likely to partner up with a horrible guy at some point (unintentionally) because there’s just so so so so many of them.
