Fish Falling from the sky

It happened in Lajamanu. According to DAMIEN McCartney of Inquisition News it was not the first time something like this happen in this township.

The small bait could be found en masse at the airport strip in Lajamanu - about 550km southwest of Katherine. Territory politician Rob Knight was flabbergasted to find the fish on the red soil on the edge of the Tanami Desert - hundreds of kilometers from Lake Argyle and Lake Elliot. "These fish had not long been on the ground," he said. The NT News reported on 28 February 2010 how Lajamanu was covered not once, but twice, by fish falling from the sky.

Local edge co-ordinator Christine Balmer said then she had to pinch herself when she found hundreds. ‘

These fish were alive and had to hit the ground, she said’’. Residents said a tornado may responsible for the phenomenon.

I wish I could see these fish falling in front of me; maybe I would run and get a bucket to catch few and take some pictures. I never had fish falling from the sky in South Africa, maybe it will in years to come, who knows? I would love to witness it.

The colour of the wind

First you must ask yourself if wind have a colour? There is no answer to that question, because from my primary education I never heard the colour of the wind. It’s obviously that wind doesn’t have a colour, is the same as defining love, there is no meaning for love, and all I know is that we all need love. Wind is something that you cannot see but you can feel, you can only see the trees moving, and then you will know this is caused by wind. Wind is untouchable; sometimes it makes a little sound like mmm!!!

People may predict, but they will never guess the really colour of the wind, maybe in years to come in the 30^th century we will all know the colour of the wind I wish I can be there to witness that.  Wind is the same as water, water doesn’t have colour. What about fire? You can see fire, but you cannot touch it.

We might have different perception about the colour wind, there’s no right or wrong answer, because wind is invisible.  In fact can you describe the wind? Even on internet there’s no picture of wind, this is so strange because we feel something that we cannot see or touch, also goes for Jesus we believe in him but we never saw him, but his work he’s done for us is amazing.

It’s time for the youth to make a stand

Talent is something you are born with, it is a big gift from God and no- one can take that away from you. But what happens if that gift is flushed down the drain? Have you thought what your parents feel? Have you considered health?

When a mother is giving birth, she feels very happy and excited because she knows that this child will become something on day and she’s bringing love and happiness into home. Every parent dreams with his or her children, but these days those dreams are shuttered, because of one thing that is called drugs. Drugs destroy your life completely especially youth. Do we ever learn? We heard it on Radio’s, TV, magazines etc about the danger of drugs, but we don’t want stop, we don’t even take a step ahead. Our government is doing everything in his power to stop the youth from using drugs. 

I know a story of a guy who was very addicted to drugs, he used to be a soccer player, until he started using drugs, and he was going in and out of jail. He explains how drugs make him fell like he’s on top of the world. He advice the youth if the want or thinking of using drugs they should consider one thing that is DEATH.

Every week we bury people most of them are young people. On TV’s and Radio station, it’s always about youth on drugs. South Africa needs people who are talented that can put this country on top of the world. Imagine if you throw away your talent this country will never no one.

It’s time we stand up together as youth and say enough is enough.

Friendship is forever

If we are not careful, some of us won’t have any friends left. What is a friend? Most people would answer that it is someone who knows you; some people define as a state that arises from the attachment of two people that is built on mutual esteem, trust, good will, and in special cases - love. What it happens that your friend blames you for something you actually did and you decide to be silent about it? Honestly there is no friendship there.

Friendship reaches out and provides us with a buffer to the normal worries of day to day life. Our friends are our analysts. They are our babysitters. They are spiritual siblings and a really loyal and true friend will be a reflection of what we aspire to become. We rely on our friends to be truthful when we need to be told the truth and to be tactful when we don't. We need our friends to be supportive but not interfering. They offer comment without judgment, and encouragement without pushiness.

Friendships and relationships will never be smooth. You need to either face the issue or seek advice. When a person decides to quit he/she will not be defined as a winner but as a loser. We are told to forgive but some people fail to do so. Our hearts need to be open and free and not holding grudges.

We all have choices and the ones we decide to make will lead us to our future, so look after your friends, and nurture the special bond that you have between you, because there is nothing as special as a very best friend.

The culture of Ubuntu- its time we stand together and fight

Why do we keep preaching the gospel of ubuntu? We lost the basics of ubuntu long time ago. It took a village to raise a child and your neighbor’s problems were your own but today we have words like “child –headed household”

Valentines Day is a day on which people should appreciate one another.

Ubuntu which means humanity goes together with peace, you can’t have peace in your life if you are missing the culture of ubuntu, and you will never find happiness, respect and love. We come from different backgrounds but doesn’t mean we should be not world be apart. As we grown up we tend to see things differently. Ubuntu (humanity) doesn’t only apply at home or in villages we live in but to our organizations also. It all starts by greeting each other even if you don’t know the person, smile and show love. In this generation none of things happen even to older people, what have gone wrong? The elders are blaming younger generation and the young generation blames the elders. We all blame each other instead of finding the solution,’ maybe the world is really coming to an end.

Crime is increasing everyday; the animals will never cause crime, its people who are the cause of crime, we are killing each other, fighting with one another. You can’t even trust your relatives, because you will never know when they will turn your back on you. If we can all stand together and fight this evil inside us we can live happily, we were all created by one person imagine how he feels when are treating each like this. We are a color of one blood; all we need to do is fight and learn to trust each other.

Two people come out of a building and into a story

It was a Saturday afternoon when my neighbor was hosting a party; his daughter’s 21 birth day. It was a big party, everyone was enjoying as there were lots of drinks that were served (including wine, juice, alcohol etc).  The weather was hot.  The music was very high no one could sleep that noise, because they party until the evening. 

There was this old woman who was passing by, she couldn’t resist hearing the noise, so she went to the house and ask if they could turn the music down, but Zintle’s parents told her to get lost and mind her own business or she can join the party, she was devastated and she say these words “this party of yours will end up in violence and you will be crying and blaming yourself’’. She said those words in an angry manner and leave. The question is what happens when you don’t listen to old people when they are talking?

The party carries on as usually, but during 9:00pm it was time for Zintle’s speech, but she was missing, everyone was looking for her until 12:00 am, by that time the party was already over, they call her but her phone was off, they went to sleep not knowing their daughter was, they called the police to search for the girl. The next morning they were called to come to the police station to identify the body of a naked woman if its not their daughter, when they enter you can only the screams, that tells you its her, her hands and private parts were cut off. No one knows who did that, until they went to the traditional healer, they were told it was the woman they have conversation with during the party, but they could not provide evidence to the police. It was difficult to deal with the loss and knowing that the woman could not be arrested. They pray until one day the old woman came into their house and told them their daughter is alive. How? The parents didn’t want to believe it, the woman told them I took your daughter while she was outside and I use my muthi to call her, but she’s unable to comeback because you already bury her, or she can come back when the old woman die of sickness.

This is true story. After five years the woman dies of cancer, after three months the girl came back. It was the story of a girl who came back from dead.

 

We are time wasters

We are time wasters

Time is something that never comes back, it always going forward. It’s like missing your last train to home, as it will never comes back, but it will come on the next day, perhaps everyone waste time without noticing. Time is everything, no business; organization etc can function without time. Have you ever wonder how will it be if there is no time? Maybe we will have an answer if the whole world can switch off the watch for one day.

We are time wasters, if you just cleaned and after two minutes someone just split the water on the floor, you will call everyone and ask who did that, maybe you ended u having an argument for 30 minutes, instead of taking a mop and wipe the floor. That is one of the unnecessary things that we waste time on. Arriving at work 30 minutes late, but you never leave 30 minutes later. Some people argue that time can not be replaced.

It’s the ignorance that makes us lose time; time cannot be controlled, but can be managed. People often develop a time log for them, but they are the ones who always complain about not getting eveything done r running out of time.  Time was not made for animals, but for people in order to maintain peace and order.

We are not getting younger; you only become 16 years once. Therefore you must start caring about time. Most people used to say time is money- that is true, because businesses lose money if time is not managed. 

Time is everywhere on Radio, TV’s, and watch and in our organization. It is important to keep track of time every time and everywhere.
