My Dear Child,

Prioritise your goals and live to achieve them. Happiness must come from within. Set your standards and never (ever!!!) lower them for anyone or to accommodate anyone.

Women all over the world walk around with deep scars covered by layers of make-up or a smile. Let us remove those layers and begin the journey of healing.  It is known that women in different age groups go through a lot of trials and tribulations in life. It is time for women unite and be one, speak in one voice in issues that affect the nation. This week I would like to speak life and unity to Inzalabantu. Bafazi lets help each other heal.  Let us celebrate our individualism and the uniqueness in you. Let us hold each others hands in building a nation of bold and assertive women. Life is a journey let us walk side by side through the dark tunnels and the sunny days.  Let’s us mentor each other.  To married women: Let us help prepare the women aspiring to be married for marriage. Let us be honest: Marriage is not easy and not for the faint-heart. Marriage works best when you are one with your spouse. When that union embraces the individual character it ...

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new virus. Coronavirus disease spreads primarily through contact with an infected person when they cough or sneeze. It also spreads when a person touches a surface or object that has the virus on it, then touches their eyes, nose, or mouth. COVID-19 has changed our reality. People are infected and affected.

I will teach my daughter how to: cook, clean, bake, take care of herself and others,  be responsible, be tender and kind, have manners, and put on make-up if and when she wants to. I will teach all this not because she is a girl or being trained to be a good wife (in future). But I am teaching her because these are important skills to have. I am teaching her because I will not be around forever so when that time comes she needs to be able to hold her head up high and say "Mom taught me better, I got this". I will also teach her how to: change a light bulb, paint, wash those windows, voice her opinion firmly but respectfully, and  fist fight to defend herself when necessary. I will teach her all of this not because I want her to think that she is better than men/boys but, because she is just as important, competent and capable. More importantly, for her to be a more multifaceted individual.
