The spiral of silence

Spiral of silence

Swallowed in the numbers

“Identity theft”

Desperate to blend in

Silence is louder

The Spiral of silence is whining

So I hush my conscious  

Hide my morals

Sacrifice my beliefs

Grab a shot of Vodka

And put on that: “I’m having the time of my life facade”

Actions contradicting my audience gatekeeping code of ethics

They speak louder than words

So away with POV gatekeeping

It inhibits my views

I might as well back my actions

We live in a capitalist country

If what I want to say is not in line with the big guns

The ones that fund the mediums

Then my POV is considered vague  

Mastered philosophy of being made to believe you are alone

Separated by illusions

engraved morage of chains

Cause it’s easy to silence one cry

It’s possible to be misled by one lie

A nation cannot be described by one word

Beauty cannot be measure by standards of one man

Only the creator can execute that

I’m talking about true beauty

The kind that draws you in from first glance

The kind that entertains and  retains

Without revealing the secrets of marriage.

FACTS NOT FICTION

How do you define sanity in a society where, Crime is cliché! Rape another random act!

Corruption just another section in the business plan.

Our generation is being mislead by the very people who are suppose lead them. It’s stifling! I KNOW. What’s more scary is that we are allowing it happen!

Talent and potential is beyond measure in the Kayamandi area. However the community remains stagnant, all this is caused by minor things that we as the community refuse to address and acknowledge.

Favoritism, Nepotism, Tribalism, corruption, jealousy and lack of communication and exposure

These are some of the factors that are hindering the growth and wellbeing Kayamandi community.

The likes of Lebo Louw (Who went as far as the last 30 in the IDOLSA 2014) projected to the Kayamandi community area and the whole of South Africa that indeed Kayamandi has potential and talent.

We want to succeed however it is going to be almost impossible unless we start working together as the community. “Nothing for us or about us without us”

Open letter to the Youth of Khayamandi

To whom it may concern:

On my way to campus today I found myself thinking long and hard about iKas'lam "Khayamandi". I couldnt help thinking about the immense beauty and talent that the youth and pupils posses. being a PR student and an admirer for exceptional talent, I evidently saw a missing link in this scenerio.

The youth of Kayamandi "I believe" have infinite potential, but somewhere somehow theres something missing. Yes there are groups and festivals that enable aspiring performers (Dancers, Singers, Actors, Poets and Models) etc to showcase their talent but is it adequate?

Being the unselfish person that I am I strongly feel that South Africa, the whole of South Africa and the rest of the world need to see the Talent, Magic and Potential of the likes of: Cwenga Mjali the photographer, Mfundo Scoojas Gxagxisa the performer,Yolanda Libalele the Model, Reign Carol the Dj, Sive Ngwexana, Nomonde Gxagxisa and Cwaita Magwa the vocalist. etc.

Tebu Louw who enthralled the judges with his audition in season 10 of IdolsSA and Unathi Msongelwa who rocked the Clash of Choirs are a living testimony of the above mentioned.

Thank you to the likes of Silulami Mbokwana, Mbongeni Mtshali and Paul Khambule who have shown intrest and are paving a platform for aspiring artist.

The Missing Link.
Exposure; Who is accountable for the exposure and publicity of our talents?
Management; Who is accountable for ensuring that our talents are in good hands?
Opportunity: Who's our ears and eyes? who ensures that we are aware of the opportunities and we are grabbing each and every one, without the fear of how am gonna get there? how will I get back etc
Personal/group branding; Are we aware of the role and impact of being branding?

The lord blessed us all with talents and gifts, are you using yours? If yes up to your full potential?

Conversations With My Friends And Families

After reading Mamphela's Conversations With My Sons An Daughters late last year, I was convinced that Agang would be the party to tremor the "notorious" ANC and that it hopefully earn enough seats in parliament to practice what they preached. Never, not even once did I think that this party that seemed to have a concrete establishment and objectives would be on an edge to implode.

 

I honestly believed in Ramphele Ramaphela, It was just stifling to hear that from that "Mamphela Decides not to go to parliament" The Times. to make matters worse she evoked her decision without consulting the members then went right ahead to hand pick an candidate overlooking once again without the blessing of Agang members.

 

Right now all I can say is Ramphela is a really good writer its a pity her philosophy cannot be backed by actions.

 

But look on the bright side, Juju is inside parliament and by the looks of things there will be plenty of cleaning up to do.

Mind the gap!

I believe that the colour card is slowly losing its power, however discrimination still remains."Discrimination of the have and have nots".The Wealth gap in South Africa is stifling.

It took the apartheid government 66 years to engineer the barriers and inequality, will it take the same amount of years to disengage this negligence?

According to the Mail and Guardian: Who owns what. 09 Dec 2011 15:39Kevin Davie, Lynley Donnelly  just a fraction of 1% owns 40% percent of the countries wealth. meaning in plain English 99% majority have to share the 60"%.

THIS IS OUR STRUGGLE! 

How do we overcome it?

Just a little confession

My little experience in blogging has taught me that: If you write to impress, chances are you will not publish anything. Practically what I have been trying to do. I have been so focused on writing to impress that in numerous occasions I have ended up hitting delete instead of post.

“Write to express” "Not to impress"

That’s exactly what I intend to do in blog, express my views on social issues, share my life experiences, challenges and how I overcome them.

Do it for you

Do it for you!

You do not have to prove yourself to anyone! You owe it to yourself to be the best that you can be.
Have you ever realised how we tend to spend our precious time and energy trying to please people. Friends, family  even enemies. The attempt unconsciously influences us on how we should live our lives. Its these expectations that sometimes tend to make us loose focus on what makes us happy and compromise who we are and our dreams.

You are unique! Be who you are! Do what makes you happy and do it for you. It is not a selfish act to put youself first.
