We Share The Same Dilemma And Fate Of Africa's Moral Degeneration!

South African black folks have a dilemma and a challenge to deal with the reality of the ANC corruption nightmare. Let alone the after-effects and the hangover of a honeymoon and the intoxication of a long-overdue delusional democracy since 1994. 

• It is time for ALL South Africans to wake up and smell the coffee. 
• Since the inception of S.A's democracy; it has become a habit for the ANC government and our people to tolerate excuses for poor performance in all sectors of SOE’s service deliveries. 
• Optimization of resources to govern effectively without failure to their mandate to account to the nation has come to pass and they should be held accountable to the people for not delivering services.

They shun taking responsibility for poor and bad decisions to own up to their actions for lack of discipline in their workplaces, and notch up the performance of standards to meet the country's economic output expectations. 

Our government is suffering from the terrible mental paralysis of self-denial and uses its incompetency to pretend they're in control. The reality is that - they don't know what they're doing and have their brains and faculty of reason twisted in a knot.

Why after 28 years of democracy do we still have communities traveling 20 km to fetch water. Why do we have children in street robots begging for food instead of being in the classroom? We have people like Mzwandile in Soweto who runs after-school music classes, yet National Lottery Funding do not support his community development initiatives? - Read more about Mzwandile Here!

This is Mr. Blue. J your biggest fan after listening to your powerful music presentations and productions including "The Wall” album by Pink-Floyd from Soweto, South Africa. I am convinced together we can put off the fire of hate and wars between nations, to promote peace. I wanted to create music to make the world a better place for all to co-exist. 

My inspiration is still burning in my heart and soul to never die; until my mission as a lyricist is accomplished. One of my personal ambitions is to complete the: "Tick-A-Box Dying Wish List"  projects and particularly item #63 at the bottom of this page of my gratitude goals before I die. 

Therefore; your support and kindest heart and contribution to this "item #63" will be truly appreciated. "The aim is to live this world a better place than I found it".

Let us organize a peace concert and bring these affected countries together. Get more info - HERE

The Sermons Booklet

• The Second item in the menu of archiving information for the library to be considered seriously by the church; is the production and printing of the churches Sermons Booklet. Why is it important for the library to have such a booklet? The sermons booklet serves two main important functions that the church can use to keep hope and the Gospel Teachings Alive and flowing, by constantly updating people with the latest information.

The church should distribute it on a monthly basis to remind the congregation of the last past four sermons where upon the teachings made an impact to the congregation. This follow up strategy is how God empowers us to remember Him and constantly praise Him. Otherwise if this booklet is not in the hands of the congregation every month, they'll forget why they went to church in the first place.

The second aspect of this booklet is a reminder and a reference book for the congregation to use as a personal encyclopedia of teachings to entertain their spiritual sentiments . It does have an impact to the readers psyche and it keeps their atmosphere and focus on the teachings. 

Rather than the church leave this to be in the hands of “social media” abuse of fake news. The booklet is a mini-version of the big picture i.e. salvation and our constant war against evil.

This sermons booklet allow members of the church the opportunity to be soaked in the message rather than be lost to negative programming and messages that will destroy the atmosphere built by the pastors’ sermon.

In Conclusion

That in a nutshell is how the church should view, plan, visualize and go about setting up the library strategy of the church. If the church wants to survive the new millennium challenges or to meet the needs of the people on the ground. It’s message and teachings; should be consistent and fed constantly to serve, impress and to empower or execute, a new vision that will transform our communities to see the church grow beyond its current state.

Hate it and your courage will die and dissolve slowly, like ice melting from the heat of the Sun. This will stifle and destroy your potential to go beyond your true God-given capabilities. Read more...

Live your life around the laws of nature and the universe, or oppose it, and you deny yourself simple blessings to see dilemma as an opportunity, instead of a curse. You are the captain who has the power to steer your ship in the direction for which you want to travel.  You can bring love and adversity “together” into your fold. If you wish, or you can climb a mountain and dance your way to happiness. 

Legacy builders don’t cheat seasons of time to harvest their crops. Your Spirit is your license to God’s conscience. You can gain fame or lose fortunes; but without lifting a finger you’ll get nowhere, it’s all a pipe-dream. You’ll be like dog chasing a moving car and when that car “stops” it doesn’t know what to do. This is what happens when a government like the ANC changes political leaders and the opposition party takes becomes silence and oblivious of the negative impact it will bring to our economy.

To be famous and rich you must be a lucky hardworking dude to a degree of being considered fortunate. Bill Gates or Steve Jobs biographies tell a promising tale of building legacies of wealth through honest hard work. Yet! To be fortunate you need to be luckier but possess a vision to work-wiser to keep such wealth and be content. It doesn’t make people guess if you’re not happy and have not conquered Life’s mysterious quizzes.

Although everything in life is possible. Life gives everyone an opportunity to explore the right means and ways of acquiring things without the temptation to cheat. Even though real wealth takes a little longer to build and realize results of once hard-earned goals. Patience will always be our virtue to trust that one day your hard work will pay-off.

It is always better to let the process of wealth building grow natural, than to seek short-cuts in obtaining quick riches. After all Nature’s menu of ordering and delivering our needs and wants is the most fail-safe means of securing a none forged and temporary happiness acquired through illegal means and methods. This is just how life operates – It doesn’t get any better than this.

Rather, this observation and the understudy of my people is a short representation of glimpses of its authentic strives and thrives, i.e. my heart-felt rhythms of its biological clock and the mixture of modern day blues. It is about the plight and courage of a people that stood to fight for an ideal purpose in life. This was in the early days of political struggle in South Africa. The 60’s until the 80’s was a bleak period in the history of African people in South Africa under Apartheid.

Our people were able to learn to stand together united by a common goal to overcome adversity, and the hatred instigated by white people – just because we were dark skinned. We had challenges, but rose above and beyond limitations defined by destiny of a political agenda through a sick system of government injustice called “Discrimination In The Name Of Apartheid” and a class and caste division called “Separate Development” of African people according to their culture and traditions, and residential allocations in various townships and cities. 

Only to end up in 2018 with fragmented individuals who are fighting to amass and secure wealth and riches at the expense of stealing and laziness to thrive on poor leadership chaos the country is facing today.

My effort since 1994 is to try and crystallize the important parables of its unique blend of human strength and integrity of character in a way; paint the inner and outer kaleidoscope of my observations to unravel but the basic unending, yet intertwined mystery of its unfolding yet unlimited but, complicated tapestry; I would like to call living under the “Fallacy Of A Faked Democracy” of 1994 elections.

When fate ties your nuts into a knot - What do you do? Where is your Church when your household needs it most?For our sons and daughters to acquire practical leadership religious family values That will instill a sense of pride and purpose to all adults and win back domestic rule? Does it mean we have to hire maids & consultants to do the work our grandparents used to teach us? Does it mean our status as a society has misled the nation to believe we are infallible and untouchables to do our own dirty laundry?  

Where is your Church program that teaches young girls how to prepare and cook family meals? And boys how to repairs door handles and wash daddy’s cars and keep up the garden? Does it mean our society has lost its core humane characteristic that was inherent? in the teachings of our forefathers’ values and traditional cultural upbringing? Are we so low to stoop beneath the level of our IQ that we can’t see right from wrong and make corrective measures?

When will your Church take a stand to fight the scourge of this undesirable plague?  When will the voice of reason begin to shape the minds of the young to learn how to survive in the modern concrete jungle? Does it mean the country is doomed to produce a breed of unfit  leaders that will drown our blissful aspirations and dreams into a bleak future?

When will your Church wake up from slumber before it realizes that the community it is serving and the building they occupy as a Church will one day be empty; because the real temple of Christ has left the neighborhood for Heaven? Does it mean we all need a Messiah to take us out  of bondage and lead us once more to the Promised Land? How many souls should die fighting to bring common sense back into our daily thinking before we place more wreaths on another tombstone of our departed brothers in arms?

A “self-actualized” person shall mean a person or an individual who is willing, able and capable of giving back to society- knowledge, experiences, information, skills, or shed light or proactive thoughts and building blocks of information unconditionally and unreservedly to the public, community or to society as a whole to empower educate and to inform them to become better human beings. Whereas, this person can impart their knowledge, teach, share information and or skills as a “selfless act of passion” to empower, liberate others from ignorance in order to fulfill his/her inner spiritual drive to perhaps meet their material need or ambition. In the process of giving, if such occurrence intends to make the other person think, feel, do or act better than their usual state of being. 

While a “self-actualized” person’s ambition might or can satisfy both the giver and the receiver; the self-actualized is not always restricted by distance, height, sight, space or boundaries of time to benefit their receptors. Any means of profiting from giving and sharing or imparting such knowledge if such information is owned and controlled by them or someone else with legitimate rights to do so in the beneficial processes; I consider it an act of kindness and noble gesture to mankind. 

The “self-actualized” individuals’ skill can be deliberated as a way of life to expand upon their consciousness of awareness to exist as givers. In their purest form of intend it is to inspire or to raise questions while make a difference or impact on society to behave and react in unexpected ways positive or negative. This impacts and alters society’s perception about the world views we live in. ETC.... Read more here!

To educate a congregation is a “Calling” but to empower the nation with the teaching of Christ or religions from across all continents is a “Gift” from God. Yet! The Power and the Legacy of the church will be in the archived literature that the church produces to communicate with its congregation and the community it is supposed to serve. A Church Library is a duty every ministry should have as a tool to mobilize its resources to effectively maintain its teachings to keep the “Word” alive and devil or “negative Power” at “Bay while protect vulnerable souls from evil.

So! It goes without saying that no church should be without a library. The library should be part of the communication and education center for all church matters. This means that the church should formulate or establish a team of education and communication members to manage and execute every other matter pertaining to the development, activities and ministry of the church.

Therefore, the literature and its communication deployment within this context should be produced, created and published by the church. All literature should be about the teachings, scriptures and related information that will empower the readers and the congregation. These publications of the churches literature should encompass languages within which the church is able to liaison with the congregation to accommodate African languages, Eastern and Western religious teachings and educational material.

Eight Resources The Church Library Should Never Be Without

1. The churches monthly Newsletter
2. The ministries monthly Sermons Booklet
3. A Journal of the church to information
4. Choir and or Music      Score/Songs
5. The history Yearbook of the church
6. All Audio Files and Podcasts     belonging to the church
7. A Video Channel to broadcast the      services of the church
8. A Social Media online presence to      reach out to youth

However, in the churches’ pursuit to establish its communication media and assign mediums duties and responsibilities, including the churches’ education department- It is only natural that the church should first investigate which curriculum it will need to embrace or follow in order to form or influence the basis of their literature material production. Apart; from choosing people and volunteers in the congregation to offer their skills, expertise and knowledge in the establishment of these new projects; the church should communicate its intention and plans to the congregation including finding community qualified personnel to assist and support these undertaking and efforts.

A majority of us will never make an attempt to tell their story while alive and ticking; simply because they think writing a book needs a special talent or a magic wand to warrant receiving an accolade. This is not true, the myth that you need to be “special and gifted” is just another fallacy to make you think your story is less important to you or us potential readers of your benevolent tale.

Writing a book is no where difficult than it is learning a new skill. Like riding a bicycle or learning how to drive or cook delicious family meals. Everything in life is and has a learning curve and acquiring new skills requires a little more effort and time before one can master it as an art. Yes! Some people are more gifted and talented in writing excellent successful books than others. But this depends on which book genre one needs to exploit to discover their true calling.

Or we can debate this issue to try and find an excuse “why you can’t write” which leaves you with one option. Pretend you’re not alive and history will not remember who you were among people who walked this earth.  Any person willing to try writing as a career or hobby can become a successful full-time well paid reputable author if given a chance and the opportunity to try it out without being judgmental about it.

South African black folks have a dilemma and a challenge to deal with reality in the Millennium and the after effects of a honeymoon and the intoxication of a long overdue delusional democracy. It is time for ALL South Africans to wake up and smell the coffee! Since the inception of S.A's democracy it has become a habit for government and our people to find excuses for poor performance, poor time keeping and a lack of discipline in all sectors of their workplace, as a way to determine standards and measure outputs.

As if complacency is part of their job descriptions and their 30% Government Output Expectations is The National KPI's standards setup by Government to measure the countries IQ's to CONTROL and limit potential. How on earth can this country compete internationally, with such low expectations and output drive and determination?

How else can you create jobs and improve the economy when your government policies are in two opposing and conflicting ends of philosophies of socialism and capitalism. It's like spiting sweet venom to wealth creators where unions and public servants demand high wages and perpetuate labor unrest with sustained plans to deliver poor outputs and completely ignore and defy principles of free enterprise systems' potential benefits in a free market economy?

• If you are not born to lead, you will not possess a vision, to guide and manage progress. 
• If you are not born to manage people, you will not possess compassion and passion to excel, in your job and conquer challenges like a champion. 
• If you are not born to think openly and take advice, you will not possess the ability to see right from wrong, when things go bad. 
• If you are not born to inspire a nation to rise above adversity, you will not lead by example to honor the spirit of great leaders like Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King to name, but a few.  
• Therefore you are not a leader, but a paper dossier like a school prefect and cannot control or direct positive events which shapes a nation to a desired goal of building a secured bright future for its citizens.

Most leaders in our government institutions and parliament are paper dossier leaders trying to restrain their emotional and personal indulgence of turbulent day-to-day decisions as if they’re managing bedroom crisis only to keep their families happy. 

The passing of Mr. Ray Chikapa Phiri on the 12th July 2017 touched me so deep that; I had to find an excuse to write about our local music talent and the untapped treasure of our unsung heroes; let alone the musical geniuses this country has ever produced. Music all over the world is known to be a force that unifies and brings people together. As if to keep hope alive and shower our aspirations and dreams with a renewed meaning to want to push for survival and move on. We are all touched and affected by music in reference to our favorite icons – the world over.

But, when you lose a musical genius and a leader like Ray Phiri, it’s like losing one of your close family relative. We are bound spiritually by music and the bonds we form with musicians. As fans we unravel our humanity when one of us is unsettled or is separated from us physically the pain is unbearable. This tribute cannot do justice to all of our deserving local South African musicians who have passed on and those still alive today. However, my heart goes deep, and back to the early days of our political struggles as a nation.  Music became our source of comfort and therapy against aggravation.

“As Blacks” our lives were intertwined but, tainted with despair, turmoil and uneasiness that were destined by Apartheid Masters to decide the fate of our daily bread. Yet, our inner peace was wanting the least trustingly tampered with by the powers that be. 

My trip down memory-lane was reminiscing of the good old days and how history can turn around to play our feelings against our intellect. It’s unimaginably difficult to know whether our lives are just another episode of time attempting to redefine our unity of purpose and self-indulgence with individual musical tastes and obsessions. Or we simply survive and face adversity because someone has their music turned on?

 The Nightmare! Three people you should never trust with your life in this world whispered my Sangoma, have an open mind when dealing with any of these three characters. They each represent the devil wearing different hats; even a prostitute can relate to this analogy. “He” is as old as Judas Iscariot and as young and pretty as lady Marmalade. “He” will sweet talk you into his chamber of promises, but will deliver few of “His” obligations to a T. He has no honor or moral conscience to stand on nor can he be trusted with your cash. He breaks principles and marriage vows like he was never part of any deal by cooking the books.

“He” will caress your ignorance over your already confused mind, like a magician fooling around with his audiences’ mind. He will hold both your private parts all at the same time, without due respect to your privacy or dignity with a warm soft touch of delusional pricks until you are bedazzled with undaunted excitement.  “His” spell will be all over you like honey melting slowly from your chest to your belly in the heat of a moment with subliminal mind encounters. “He” will steal all of your leftover innocent feelings even bees will not notice the difference. His charm and vanity will intoxicate your five senses brighter than the irresistible neon lights of Las Vegas, in a dream state of illusion. 

“He” will cloud your judgment with his faked-serious character not to reveal even the slightest clue of his Master Plan. You will be over the moon by his sales pitch and diluted cheap talk; to lure you into his bedroom where your demise is already planned to take place. “He” will hypnotize and lead you sensually and carefully into his soft undeniably amazing magnetic cleavage, i.e. his “charmed-delirious-promises” like a sneaky man killer beautiful beast trapping its unsuspecting victims with python eyes! Only to stick “His” sharp thirsty blood sucking vampire teeth into your foolish neck’s unfulfilled material desires. 

“Where your desires become your prison and you become a victim of all circumstances”. Only to replenish his crooked ways to continue to feed his lust for endless craving of exotic tastes. By the time you wake up from this hypnotic trance to realize what is happening to you. You are already cooked roasted and buried into his stomach. He Just Ate You Alive™, without literally placing you on a barbecue stand. Yet all along he was seasoning and spicing you up with your eyes wide opened, and served you to himself for lunch with exotic cocktail drinks to down you swiftly from his dry throat. 

Why? You are too easy a prey that is naive or lackadaisical to read between the lines and foretell future mishaps of pitiful paradoxes, filled with political, economic and social dilemmas which delude your mind. Listen to MR. Gadla Mpuhla relaying the incidence.

Also Consult a medical doctor if you have a medical condition and are not sure how to go about it. Seek second opinion about the physical benefits of Fasting. 

Are we a country that is decapitated and disillusioned by the ANC loose morality and ethical human values in the latest saga of Gupta-Gate unfolding scandal? Someone must take the role of messiah to remedy our country’s predicament! Pardon me for exercising my freedom of speech so unorthodox. 

I honestly apologize from the bottom on my heart in advance if anyone feels personally offended by my humble opinion and poetic justice in presenting this article to raise my concerns.  Please don’t hold any personal grudge against me. I am human and fallible and very much capable of making mistakes like any other person. I’m just an ordinary tax-paying citizen with a conscience to find the ultimate resolve. 

If dark-forces of evil take-over my simple God-given hard-earned freedoms and choices, I’m bound to react emotional and be unreasonable if no solutions are forth coming on how I can help make a difference to a nasty situation. This will prompt me to talk about it at first. If all else fails I will write about it without complaining too much to make an ass hole of myself.    However, the least I could do is post nasty racial insinuations on social media or stoop that low to prove I’m alive and possess a social conscience. I’m afraid this will not be the right approach to address serious issues of national concern to find an amicable solution. Get more Info HERE!

Gallo records reports that IBOKWE, Thandiswa Mazwai’s second album, has passed the 20 000 sales mark, attaining Gold status for South Africa. Courtesy http://www.music.org.za/News.asp 

I would feel envious and jealous to the success of Thandiswa Mazwai for this record-breaking achievement, If you were in my shoes you would probably feel the same way too. The fact of the matter is that she might be struggling to pay certain bill or for her townhouse or maybe keeping up with her overdraft who knows. I can be totally wrong and forgiven for thinking this way. 

Newspaper headlines read “Musicians and singers, who are living in KwaZulu-Natal, will no longer have to travel to Johannesburg to record their music, thanks to the opening of a R15 million recording studio in the province”. The multi-million rand facility, called KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Music House, with top-of-the-range facilities, was opened by provincial MEC for Finance Ina Cronje, on Friday. The studio material at the KZN Music House in Greyville, Durban, competes with M1 studios in Auckland Park, Jozi. 

As if, these musicians will conquer the world and the world charts from this day onward to live life of bling-bling to the fullest. A warning alarm I resonated almost 28 years ago with resentment and discomfort to sign any record deal where details are blurred and unclear and copyright ownership is not recognized. My musician colleagues and friends, who wanted the glamor and glory of instant fame and stardom, signed without blinking and failed to heed my warning call. 

I was right and they were wrong this time and disappointed because my vision was too optimistic and far-fetched to comprehend. They signed their lives over to a record deal company that they later on regretted. 30 year later, I am still in the business of making music and trying to lay a foundation of my own independent international label a road I would encourage every aspiring SA musician to patiently embark on if they’re serious with a long lasting career in music. 

Nine (9) out of 10 so called current South African legends and music super star face a bleak future ahead of their retirement, than we can afford to give them credit for their fame and super star status. Why? two reasons come to my mind. The local South African culture and music consumer does not respect the law and the use of local musician’s intellectual property nor do they comprehend the value of musical talent, creative input let alone the financial investment that goes into producing a successful artist or record.

Simply put, it is because the South African copyright law has too many flaws to protect these musicians into a successful retirement of their careers in music. SAMRO is supposedly the big deal for most local artist, as if it is the be all and end all of the road to riches in music, thus complacency has set precedence with musicians over issues dealing with copyright laws besides royalty payments or piracy of their music by local consumers and organized crime.

My point is if we keep complaining about the Government - we are not helping them find alternatives or offer solution to make them realize our challenges. By doing something about it you might be a solution everyone is looking for. So do something positive to help change our circumferences. Be proactive instead of become reactive and condemn them without offering other means to solve problems our society is faced with today.

In the era of Apartheid we stood up and belonged to some community or political organization in one form or another and our contribution in the struggle to fight for our freedom was not the ANC's personal battle as a stand-alone political organization. There were both inside and outside forces who contributed to our freedom. Individuals like me were instrumental and hands-on to serve time and purpose to this effect and went to jail in solitary confinement. It was this commitment and act of passion for what we believed in to get involved in the struggle against Apartheid and its injustices that made us all free today. Read this article here there are brothers who are not being recognized for their contribution to the struggle yet they made a big difference to this country.

Solution No.46 is a small talk of the millennium. Join me share with you other alternative ways to help you to grow and to reach your full potential. South Africa is not the same anymore and our people have lost faith and confidence in the ANC government. We need a new breed of leadership and community initiatives to inspire a new revolution of free thinkers to liberate our people from “group mentality and control". Individuals who can write, sing, rap and recite poetry of discontent to voice their opinion and point of view using alternative media platforms.

Current radio stations and talk shows both private and the public broadcasters do not have enough space to accommodate everyone. Therefore, we need to stand up and represent our own ideals, be it in education, job creation, churches or religious groups or entrepreneurship we need to stand up and take responsibility for the future we want to see happen. 

The time is not tomorrow, but now. Use your talent to make the country a better place for those who live in it. If God should want to bless South Africa and all people who live in it – It should be for the right reasons and not selfish motives of corrupt government officials who have destroyed our hopes and dreams.
