Recently I watched “Exploring Robben Island #BeTheLegacy #Mandela100” – a video Michael Cost created in collaboration with the Nelson Mandela Foundation and YouTube in honour of Nelson Mandela’s centenary – the video is so well done and beautifully shot that that I have to share it.

“Our youth are the crucial stakeholders as we address our challenges and work towards building our future with a shared vision.” – Catherine Constantinides

It’s 9 : 58 AM on day 2466 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, have breakfast, read Proverbs 3:9 and learn a new word – Definitions for expostulate
to reason earnestly with someone against something that person intends to do or has done; remonstrate: His father expostulated with him about the evils of gambling.

Today is Youth Day here in South Africa – a day that honours the youth of 1976 who fought against the introduction of Afrikaans as the medium of instruction in local schools – and in honour of that I’m sharing a video made by Michael Cost to pay tribute to all the young people who fought and died for many in South Africa.

There are so many misconceptions about South Africa perpetuated by the foreign media – that’s what I need the world to know.

It’s 12 : 02 PM on day 2001 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Hebrews 12, learn one new thing –The goose was the first bird to be domesticated by man. An ancient story tells how a flock of white geese raised the alarm when Rome was attacked by the Gauls, and thus saved the city.–have breakfast and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – yesterday Debbie McMannis donated $25 (thanks SO MUCH Debbie for your support it means the world to me ) which brings the total raised to $3 247 only $3 003 more to raise by 10 Jan 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far ).

Yesterday I watched “Things Not To Say To A South African / African” by Michael Cost and I thought it was hilarious even though I had watched it a few times before the stuff in the video is actually what foreigners say to South Africans I try to laugh it off life is too short to get offended about everything.
