No One is Above The Law

By Sicebise Msengana





















King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo, the king of AbaThembu who was handed down 12 years in jail by the Supreme Court of Appeals in Bloemfontein two weeks
ago after he appealed a 15-year sentence imposed by the Mthatha High Court in 2009. He was initially convicted for crimes ranging from culpable homicide, kidnapping, assault, arson and defeating the ends of justice. Earlier this year, King Zwelithini was implicated in a rather different matter. The Zulu king was accused of saying, "Foreigners should pack their bags and leave." This started a bloody wave of xenophobic attacks in South Africa. We may not know the exact words he used.  But if he did incite xenophobia, he also should

One thing I like about summer is the opportunity to read interesting books. This time, I decided to read more on religion and the supernatural phenomena. Whether the claims are real or imaginary, religion continues to dictate the lives of up to 59 % of the world population, according to a global poll [1].

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:

Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,

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.

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.

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

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