Well this week has been stressful and highly emotional both at work and at home.
My projects on still on hold at this current financial climate with strikes looming and violence on our doorstop by the nation due to the high prices which has affected the world.
Things look really bleak. Zimbabwe on a daily basis smuggling out videos and photo's of torture and violence while the South African government looks on.
Its all so sad. Have we lost our humanity? Are we all going mad, knowing that you have a dictator and things may turn out like Rwanda.
But, I have to concern myself with the peoples of my own nation who are suffering from HIV/AIDS and those who don't even have the basic rights to water, housing and electricity for many years.
Daily we have thousands of people dying in Africa and in South Africa on daily basis someone dies of AIDS related illness.
The foremost responsibility is to your nation, to uphold the constitution, protect, serve and provide a service to the peoples of South Africa!
Its not easy been a small fry in this war against injustice and HIV/AIDS, poverty and human rights.
Although I have dedicated my life to this cause, its not always easy to keep up with the financial stress of not been able to survive or even buy a computer or laptop.
I have learnt you have to rely on yourself and not on others in life, (taken into context of course) as many have promised to help me but have not. Have demanded time from me and resources and promised many things but have not delivered.
None of these things have made a negative impact on my personal vision.
So guys, well its off to work for me and then a week long holiday thanks to our government.
Please pray for me and my country and the Southern African region.
Once again you are most welcome to email me or sign my guest book.
I am open to critism and welcome any comments you may have.
Been transparent has always been my goal.
