The Beauty of Love

By Sicebise Msengana

Love is a beautiful thing. It is one of the human emotions that words can't describe. Love can motivate people to do good things they wouldn't normally do. It can make people do stupid things in the name of love. Here is a vivid description of one of the greatest emotions in the universe by Kahlil Gibran:


" When love beckons to you follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,

Reconstructing Africa: The African revival

Pre-colonial experiences

For thousands of years, Africans have lived in relative harmony. Our forefathers' lives were dictated by African customs and rituals. As I mentioned in my book, Life is Unfair But Everything else is a Gift which will be published later this year--the ancient African society was made up of  "Intellectuals." These intellectuals were well versed in the indigenous knowledge of the complex African community.

In essence, the people had a sophisticated system that existed to serve the aspirations of the millions of Africans. It can be argued that African continent was self-sufficient ,and capable of providing for its population.

5 ways to love your kids

By Sicebise Msengana

Once upon a time there was a young boy named Buhle (which means beauty). He came from a wealthy family. His parents lavish every expensive gift conceivable on him. If he wanted something he got it in a day or two. He was so spoilt that he couldn't do anything for himself.  But sadly, his parents died. Leaving him with everything. In despair, he slept with many women and drunk himself to sleep. And experimented with every drug available.

One day, he was found in his bedroom dead. He left a note saying, "I wish I wasn't born rich. Money has ruined my life."

We live in a tragic world, it is a world where kids cry when daddy buys the "wrong" car. We should be bothered with the direction our world is heading.

10 reasons why we have fallen out of love

By Sicebise Msengana





Love is a subjective experience that differs from person to person. However, love is universal. All people recognise love. 

1. We are too picky. "She is not my type" or "He is way out of my league."

2. We are indifferent to the needs of our partners. 

3. We date because we want to settle a score with our ex.

Women are the pillars of society

In celebration of the women's month I thought of taking this opportunity to celebrate the phenomenal strength of women: I was raised by a single woman and where am I today is because of her countless sacrifices to give me the best.

As such,  I selected a touching poem by Maya Angelou.

Phenomenal woman

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size   
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,   
The stride of my step,   
The curl of my lips.   
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,   
That’s me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,   
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.   
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.

18 July is the day we celebrate the life of Tata Nelson "Madiba" Mandela--father of the South African nation. This great gentleman guided our nation through it's dark hour and led it to  freedom. Some of you may not know him. But he is the man who stood up for what he believed in and paid the ultimate price of serving 27 years in Robben Island.

The  apartheid government was one of the most cruelest regimes in the twentieth century. All it's policies were established to systemically enslave non-Whites, particularly the Black people. The crimes committed by the intolerant, mindless, psychotic, racist, genocidal Afrikaner government are among the worst crimes in history. Tens of thousands of Black South Africans were slaughtered and millions were denied their human
