Democracy, it is

Because of democracy that i trekked anywhere I want, with no fear,

Nor anxiety, with full confidence that I belong to it, because many suffered,

And were tortured for the privileges I have today.

Many fought, few survived and the rest took credit for the dead can’t speak

Nor breathe.

Call me a survivor but I’ve done nothing, worship me, and celebrate my days

With joyful songs but I was never restrained nor told what to do.

It is because of democracy that I can speak freely, allow enclosure dance into

 The tiles of my own civilised floor, that I carried, shared and save it for the last dance.

Don’t blame it on me, but

It is because of democracy that African Nation is demonised, filled with anger,

It is the reason that I live in a small box, covered with hood,

Humiliated, discomfited self-conscious,

Sharing privacy and joined with insufficiency to carry the journey

And still smile that i belong into a warm community.

It is because of deficiency that we are joined in one circus, blinded by mist

In the veld,

 Reveries no longer occur; sometimes she thinks she will wake up

This will be a nightmare, but here I am

The mist has gone, but the perspective remain,

The roots have replanted

With free body’s, slaves in mind

Now the grass is brown, for the winter has taken over

Trap, accounts suck I don’t want to hear about them

Trap, accounts suck I don’t want to hear about them

Most people do say that. During my time at Edgars as a financial consultant, I approached people and help them to open new accounts. My salary depended on the accounts that I make (commission). I came across with lot of people who had enough of accounts; they want to close what they already have because they are in debts or just can’t pay what is expected of them to pay.

The is one thing I have noticed, it is that they get excited when they get too much credit, and take everything, even the things they do not need. I was talking to one lady the other day, she took a jacket, it was pretty small to her, but she took it, because it was on sale.

That is the reason why our people end up in debts cancelling, or blacklisted. We buy things we do not need because we can and struggle to pay back, its not because they do not know that they will still need to pay the debts, but the excitement that comes when their accounts are approved makes things look unreal and, taking taking and taking without paying and even better, they get R500 free voucher, when the take for R1600 or more. But the tricky part about that R500 voucher is, you can’t take things that are on sale or cell phone, once you take a phone that R500 automatically end once you take a phone. 

The real problem is not furniture or clothing stores, it is the matter of discipline, we all need to discipline ourselves to be able to move forward, having an account with credit, means you have a cash on your pocket, even if you were able to wear your old nice clothes in a party, because you have your credit on your account, you’ll be tempted to take new stuff.

If you know you not differ from the rest of South African, you struggle with self control, then accounts are not for you, continue using cash, then you’ll be a better person, that will be free from debts, phone calls from stores and you’ll be defiantly free from switching off your phone at the end of the months because you know private is going to call.

Brangelina Team keeps getting warmer: Angelina bought her Fiance Brad Pitt a Hericopter and Flying Lessons, You go girl, Keep your Man!!

Angelina Jolie has bought her fiancé Brad Pitt a helicopter and flying lessons.

The 36-year-old actress apparently spent £1m on the aircraft and flying lessons for Brad Pitt to go with the parking spot they happened to have built onto their European property.

A source told The Sun: "They've had a helicopter pad installed in the grounds of their south of France home, Chateau Miraval.

"So Ange thought it would be nice to buy Brad a helicopter as a surprise present."

To and from Cannes

Apparently the pair, who are parents to six biological and adopted children, will be using the mode of transport to get to nearby events.

The insider continued: "In particular, they would like to be able to fly to and from Cannes.

"But even though Brad has his private pilot's licence, he still needs to take a few flying lessons - which he'll start straight away."

Meanwhile the couple finally seem to be putting any tension between Brad's ex-wife Jennifer Anistion and them in the past.

According to reports, the Friends actress sent them a £500 bouquet of flowers ahead of this week's Cannes Film Festival, to congratulate them on their engagement.

Brad had earlier sent her a case of his Chateau Miraval wine

Legendary Bretty White supports Obama

Betty White says she usually keeps her political views private but in this presidential election she strongly favours one candidate.

As the 90-year-old actress prepares to visit the Smithsonian Institution and National Zoo next week, White told The Associated Press she "very, very much favours" President Barack Obama in the election.

The Golden Girls star said on Friday she is very bi-partisan and has stayed away from politics her whole life. She usually never says who she is for or against because she doesn't want to turn off any of her fans.

White says in this year's election, she likes what Obama has done and "how he represents us".

Her comments come after Hollywood turned out at George Clooney's home to raise $15m for Obama's re-election, a record for a single fundraiser.

Are we truly free or we dom?

The reaction of South Africans was so overwhelming when Jessica and Tsidi posted their tweets and apologized; now it seems like it’s something that we will eat and wake up with it every day. One person does it and the next day someone else is doing it, are we truly free?

Once things published everyone one is doing it, take example with the gang rape, and how may article have been written about that since that story? It’s like people do things to be noticed or to be recognized, how the hell would you write something so stupid that can ruin your life just to be noticed?

Sometimes I sit and wonder if when will people wake up and start using what their saver gave them (which is brain).

I am sick and tired of people insulting other people and get away with that, easly.

There is no way that people will say things and apologized, justice must served… #Just saying

Councilor’s laptop tested for child porn

Police have confiscated the laptop used by a Western Cape DA councillor to establish whether he had loaded child pornography on it, The Times reported on Tuesday.

Police spokesperson Captain Mzikayise Moloi said the Swellendam council-owned laptop had been sent for tests.

The ANC laid a charge against the councilor on May 2, and asked the municipality to investigate claims that he watched child pornography at work.

"We are waiting for the outcome of the tests. There is an allegation that he loaded child pornography on the laptop, that is why the laptop has been seized," Moloi was quoted as saying.

The ANC last week claimed the allegations against the councillor had been reported to the council speaker and senior DA office-bearers, but that no action had been taken.

"Instead, the DA has been trying its utmost to sweep this sex scandal under the carpet," it claimed.

Themba Thebele, Overberg region ANC secretary said on Monday that despite several request for action to be taken against the councillor, municipal authorities had done nothing.

Swellendam mayor Nicholas Myburgh said the speaker's office was investigating the matter.

"[The councillor] will also get an opportunity to present his side," Myburgh said.

He said the councillor was still at work.

Kim will even be joining the Grammy winner on his summer tour with Jay-Z.
