Does peace and harmony still exist in our vocabulary

                 These people should leave now do not put words in my mouth I never said
 KILL them.

After more than 20 years of democracy I honestly thought we knew ubuntu (humanity) like we know the front and back of our palms. It is sad to see our own African brothers and sisters being chased away from their own soil by their own siblings. Yes we are all from mother Africa whether you from North, East, South and West of Africa and differ in skin colour but the unchangeable bottom line is we are siblings.

It all recently resurfaced in 2015 March 21 when King Goodwill Zwelithini made comments that foreigners should go back to their countries due to them taking all the wealth of South African citizens. Note my first sentence he never mentioned about anyone getting attacked now did he?

Personally I sometimes feel that there is a huge number of foreign nationals in South Africa (*laughs out loud* Abo-Mzala (cousins)) as my grandmother would call them because they are from neigbouring countries...hey NO OFFENCE.

Although that does not begin to condone or justify the litres of blood shed around the country. Come on they are people like us we know very well why these people are here there is havoc in their countries. Wouldn’t you have done the same if you were in their predicament? Be honest.

Well if you still stunned about the 2015's outbreak 2015's outbreak you should consider checking out the outbreak that took place in 2008 May in the Alexandra Johannesburg leaving 100's of people injured and more than 50 people dead. The way things were getting out of hand a Facebook group was even established to spread the word act... including myself :).

 Let’s be frank no one is perfect we all have flaws and mistakes and no one has crucified us so who are we to crucify others. On a positive note the role we played as United Africans was excellent we managed to raise an awareness that we do not want to kill each other just because of our different skin colours. So you see when we stand together and have each others backs we are able to make our voices heard.

The aspiring PRPs note: One love, One heart will take us a very long way. We need each other I still say #NoToXenophobia im a woman of my word all day everyday.

 #ZumaMustFall

  March 2016 by Palesa M

bye-bye South Africa I enjoyed spending your money.

Pay your E-Tolls before I use my guy on you!!

AWU LETHE UMSHINI WAMI (bring me my gun) yeah we all know that song right from our beloved, rated as the highest paid politician in the world…(drum roll)…President Jacob Zuma. He happens to carry a shower on his head according to our famous cartoonist Zapiro. Why should JZ fall? Umm let me think quickly. I remember…If I had to answer that question I would literally write a novel on just listing his schemes. As I was snacking on the newspaper this morning to my surprise I read that Mr JZ’s salary increase has been approved even though other political parties were against it. I do not get why South Africa still allows him to earn a fat salary after he dropped our “Rand”currency lower than ever before after redeploying Nhlanhla Nene (for those who do not have an idea on who that is it is our former finance minister). I do not know what was on JZ’s mind but he was clearly wrong to think we would trust him with the country’s finance especially with his Grade 5 education.

ON the negative side of things

Who is to blame exactly? The ANC, JZ himself or us the public for allowing him to take up the second term even though we saw him fail the first term right before our eyes. Can someone kindly remind me how long he has been saying he will pay back the money? Or was that just an “intellectual” stunt to get us to vote for the local elections. I feel that a nation should look up to its leader and always consider that he is human and makes mistakes like the rest of us. Unfortunately with our leader we cannot even think of one single good thing he has done for us apart from laughing his head off when he was supposed to stand firm, take control and his steer his sinking ship into the right direction during the SONA
 

What do you want me to do? Im a President not a Magician

Now who has to clean up this fiasco?
The aspiring PrP's recommendations...

Guptas sharing the surprise 

Playing the blame game isn’t going to help any of us now. Truth is we all affected we all losing valuable investors, our rand is low. In case you have not noticed we are slowly turning into South Zimbabwe and the symptoms are kicking in real quick. In the next elections we cannot make the same mistake twice we need to be sure of our next President we need a person who is clued up about everything around him and who is more than willing to take us forward in a way that will benefit every single being under him and not just himself and the Guptas as 

                                                                         well as their hidden relationship we all do not know about.
