Former President Jacob Zuma has been charged with quite a hefty number of crimes and is soon to be prosecuted for his crimes of corruption, fraud and theft, surprisingly the ANC still wants to keep him in their campaign programme. We might not all have proof that Jacob Zuma is a criminal but one thing we know for sure is that he has been hiding behind his position to cover up all his dodgy activities and acts of corruption.Zuma has been laundering money from the state for years ,money that he used to build the infamous Nkandla and making deals with the Guptas ,his wife Nkosazana  Dlamini-Zuma also has been up to no good but we are not here to talk about her... lets just say that her time is also coming. Sure we have heard about all this but what I keep asking myself is why? What does Zuma have on the party that they still want to keep him after all this?In my opinion ,I think the former President still has a few tricks up his sleeves ,another way to use his power to break t...

The listeria outbreak has been causing a very large commossion in our county because everyone fears for their own lives and we really can't blame anyone because our lives really are at risk.You really would have thought that that was the bad part but the worst part is, we don't even know who to trust! Recently it has been announced that very succesful food companies which are focused on producing meat and dheli products,  Enterprise and Rainbow Chicken  factories have been contaminated by the Listeriosis causing bacteria.Then a few moments later Rainbow announced that their factories have been tested and found to be clean and without the bacteria.The astonishing news is that even though the ST6 strain did not originate in their factory,their products do contain the bacteria. So what do we do now? Who do we trust with our lives just so we don't starve ?The truth is we don't know eveybone's intentions,if they are just trying to save theirselves financia...

One of the world's biggest problems among teenagers is pregnancy and this has been happening for a long time without any indications of it stopping anytime soon.Despite being lectured and given pep talks this is still happening without any stop to it. Everytime a teenager is pregnant everyone is so quick to judge the girl not knowing what happened,if she was raped,if she was tricked and left with a broken heart or if she just needed someone to be there for them so bad that she went seeking comfort in the wrong places.Most parents are so hard to talk to and everytime you try to let them into your life and what is happening they just give you a long lecture and turn a blind eye to everything but I don't blame them ,maybe they also don't know any better. As long as teenage pregnancy remains the girl child's problem,there is no way it is getting solved,everyone is always so quick to lecture the females that they forget that their sons are also in the wrong ,that they ar...

Well this is a phrase we have been saying and hearing about for way too long!As South Africans we know that during Apartheid,so much land that belonged to our ancestors and elders was taken away from us by the white people,it is only right that we get it back but  now the question is, are we going about this the right way? Not so long ago,Julius Malema leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters adresses the land expropriation issue.Malema says that he is no tcalling for a war but there will be no compensation for land expropriation.We all know that most of the land is now owned by white peoople and they have built on it for their own operations and benefits and the land being taken back means losing all the progress and money earned from the property,especially without compensation. In my opinion,I know that we have to get back what is rightfully ours but if this were the other way around we also would not agree to not receiving compensation and I know that one way or another th...

In the history of South Africa there has never been in an increase in Vlaue Added tax for over 10 years ,not even once!Things are are changing since the appointment of the newSouth African president Cyril Ramaphosa.So the question is;is this a good thing or a bad thing? According to the announcment of the Budget speech by Minister of Finance Malusi Gigaba, VAT is now 15 % ,sintax has also increased,General fuel Levy and Road Accident Funds meaning 52 cents per litre of fuel will go to tax.Child support grant has also increased to R 400 and possibly R 410 by the end of October. While this may seem like it is going to incovinience most citizens I think that it is a  good idea because it might not be really helping everyone individually but it will help the country as a whole.There will be lots of revenue generated form the increase of tax and it will help South Africa in International trading indirectly.So in conclusion in the long run we will all see how this is helping the coun...

Well if there is any trend that people should be following right now it is education,people are always complaining about how hard it is to find a job when they have not even made an effort to qualify for any type of decent job.We all know that the minimum requirement for getting the most basic job is your matric but what about your future or doing what you love? If you did not know, well known South African actress Nomzamo Mbatha recently graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce Accounting degree from the University of Cape Town; talk about being beautiful ,talented and smart!Natasha Tahane also went to New York Filming Academy and graduated not very long ago and decided to celebrate with a graduation party. Most of the reasons people have for not going to university is that they do cannot afford to but things are different now,education is free so all you have to do is work hard and apply .NSFAS is no longer a loan now but a bursary, so you do not even have to worry about hav...

' BLACK PANTHER' ; the Lord's gift to black people For years now black people have been struggling to prove themselves worthy to everyone else as a race ,as workers ,in music and movie industries and in academics ,especially women.Well this year has turned out to be the best for everyone because not only does the movie empower black people but the movie BLACK PANTHER has been recently ranked as the number one movie globally. The movie not only shows black people as intelligent and strong but also shows how black women can also posses these qualities.The movie shows the well known Kenyan-Mexican actress Lupita Nyong'o and Danai Gurira as powerful people in the politics of 'Wakanda' as they exude confidence and authority . In the film Wakanda is also shown as technologically advanced and resourceful ,like a utopia of  how Africa could have evolved given the chance without colonisation or anything else ,just African people figuring their on way...

TEAM NATURAL VS WEAVE QUEENS : HOW BLACK ARE YOU? As  the people of this beautiful and diverse country we have been arguing over and over again about our cultures getting diluted and gradually erased by trends and lifestyles.In this age and time there are very few people who still appreciate and recognize who they really are , nowadays all people want to do is be trendy and fashionable and honestly there's nothing wrong with that but the problem starts when we look down on each other. Just because someone likes to wear their hair curly and naturally it does not mean you should look at them in a certain type of way,that is their choice and there is nothing you can do about it .Teenagers and young adults would rather put on weaves,wigs and even relax their curly hair just because it looks terrible to them.since when did your natural hair become "bad hair"? Well in my opinion it is absolutely nobody's business what you do with your hair you can wear your weaves,w...
