KILLED FOR FIGHTING FOR ABETTER LIFE

Must there always be a strike or blood shed before the peole of South Africa get paid?





MOTIONLESS: Mine workers killed for fighing for a better life.

On August the 16, 2012, more than 30 mine workers laid motionless on the grounds of the Marikana in Rusternburg, North of Johannesburg. This comes after the police opened fire in self defence against armed stiking mine workers who had had enough of being paid peanuts read more.... This day became the bloodiest day in post apartheid.

Mining companies make millions if not billions a year and yet they fail to pay their workers a decent salary. The Lonmin's Marikana platinum mine is one of the richest mines in the world, situated in one of the most poorest commuities of all read more.... Can you really blame the workers for downing their tools in a quest for a better life for their families? I don't think so.

The mine workers are undermined and looked down on, forgetting that these people are the ones risking their lives for companies such as the Lonmin's mine to make big bucks and give our economy a boost.

We portray ourselves as a rainbow nation, and that all that happend in the apartheid era is forgiven and forgotten. but the sad truth is that we are not yet uhuru (not yet free) from all the oppression. Within a blink of an eye the apartheid regime came back to life, one would swear that it was the Sharpville Massacre that took place in the 1960s.

South African Mines should take a bow of embarrassement for the show they've put on. It is time mine workers get paid decent salaries that will enable them to live in decent houses just like their bosses.

I am W.O.M.A.N

FLYING HIGH: She is SUPERWOMAN!SOURCE:

I am Wonderful, Obedient, Magnificent, Able, Nurturing. I am W.O.M.A.N!

In the olden days it was instilled in a girl’s mind that a woman’s job is within the household. Her job is to stay at home, give birth, look after the children, cook and clean because it is within her nature to multitask, she is simply a woman.

Times have changed and roles have shifted. Women hold high-power careers while some men stay at home and do what is known to be “a woman’s job”.

For some women, sitting behind the computer and constructing a Public Relations Plan rather than slaving away behind the stove cooking has become a norm. But they stand to be criticised by older "wiser" women who believe that if you can’t cook then you will not make a “good wife”.

Will a man always be expected to know how to fix the light bulb, fix leaking pipes and change the tyre? Does this make him a "real man"?

This is the 21^st century, and there is no rule that says a female cannot handle both roles, even though some men might regard her as unattractive for taking on the masculine role, but if she feels she can do it and  do it better than a man then I see nothing wrong with it. After all she is  simply a WOMAN, she is SUPER W.O.M.A.N

A debate then arises. Will gender roles always be the way of life?

MBALULA DOES THE BOOTY HOP WHILE BEYONCE SINGS ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK

So I log on to my Facebook account about a few weeks ago and I find people raging and raving about the sports and recreation Minister Fikile “Razzmatazz” Mbalula.

Driven by curiosity I visit the oh so popular search engine Google to find out what the outrage was all about, and there it was, the minister’s killer statement “...now we’re going for Beyonce man, Beyonce!”.read more... 

WANTED: RnB star Beyonce doing what she is known to do,

perform.

Razzmatazz announced in an interview with a commercial radio station that he wants the international superstar to be the headline act at the second annual South African Sports Awards taking place later this year, clearly our local artists aren’t extravagant enough for him. I would’ve found it much more relevant to have David Beckham or Serena Williams at the awards rather than Beyonce.

Beyonce is set to make an appearance for a mere hour, there after she will be singing all the way to the bank with a balance of R17 million to her name. read more...  Can somebody please show me the gold medal in that scenario? Many of our sports teams are in need of financial support take the national mens hockey team for instance or under developed local communities. Don’t they deserve a share of the R17 million? By investing in such people, a Return on Investment would be guaranteed because the money would be shaping the future of South Africans for the better.

CHEESE BOY: "Razzmatazz" Mbalula lives an extravagant life.

Heaven knows how much was spent last year on RnB star Brandy Norwood, actress Vivica Fox and Regina King. My guess is that the entire event will have a total opposite effect than that it is intended to have. 

A SPADE IS A SPADE! The minister is just simply fulfilling his personal interests and fantasies portrayed as national programmes at the expense of the state.

He should consider quitting his job as Mbalula the minister and become Razzmatazz the music promoter because clearly that’s where his interests lie, in music.
