“You’ve got to go through hell before you get to heaven” – The Steve Miller Band.

It’s 6: 15 PM on day86 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself  Oats  for  breakfast ,listen to music on YouTube – I heard this wonderful song by Justin Bieber called Pray – it brought tears to my eyes – feed myself  Chapati – an unleavened flatbread – and beef curry   for brunch    tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign for most of the day – finally after a 17 day donation drought one of my Twitter friends made a donation – thanks God I know that was you … REALLY appreciate it  🙂 –    and exercise for 15 minutes –  I felt like someone was tearing my hamstrings on purpose – I have never had a child but I bet you anything childbirth is less painful than the exercises I do on a daily bases LOL 🙂

Today morning I woke up willing to tweet for as long as it took me to get a donation but by the 20th tweet I was thinking what is the point nobody cares and at that moment I realized something that I will carry with me throughout the course of my life – the people who don’t quit – even when they want to – are the ones who will end up on top at the end of the day. Do you give up prematurely? 🙂

Love your country.  Your country is the land where your parents sleep, where is spoken that language in which the chosen of your heart, blushing, whispered the first word of love; it is the home that God has given you that by striving to perfect yourselves therein you may prepare to ascend to him.  ~ Giuseppe Mazzini

It’s 5: 58 PM on day85 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself  Oats  for  breakfast, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign for most of the day – I don’t know how Non-Profit Organization do this on a daily bases –when I started this I  thought all I would have to do is set up my Firstgiving page and tell people about it and they would donate boy was I WRONG LOL :)–   feed myself  curry and rice for lunch and exercise for 10 minutes –  today was a GREAT day I barely felt any pain or discomfort 🙂

When people think South Africa they think Nelson Mandela, Table Top Mountain, Robbin Island all of which are an integral part of South Africa as a whole but there is more to South Africa then our many Nobel laureates and World Heritage Sites we have:

  • A variety of wildlife (which contrary to popular belief do not roam around free in the streets but rather are in zoos or national parks)
  • Beautiful beaches
  • Good food
  • The finest wine
  • Great music (see videos below)
  • Wonderful movies (Tsotsi won an Academy Award for  Best Foreign Language Film of the Year in 2006)
