The Golden Apple

I am writing this blog post I am in the United States of America. Sitting in a dorm bed at Pasquerilla East campus at the University of Notre Dame, South Bend Indiana. Date: 21/36/2019 Time: 09:25PM – I would like to emphasize that the sun hasn’t set yet. How does a girl from the rural area of Siphocosini in the Siphocosini Inkhundla from the Hhohho region get here? Well, It started with identifying a problem that was accompanies by lots of prayer and action. Action not just from me but from other people whom God used to make sure my purpose in life gets fulfilled. I know my purpose, it took a while to But I know it now. Here’s a short version of my story.  Ten years after I finish High School I became a Public Relations graduate from Limkokwing University, I endured the pain of being lectured by my former high school mates. It wasn’t fun at all. I endured not having lunch money, I endured a lot of challenged but I graduated. I was happy and I was not poor, I got ...

We chat to Zitsile Maziya also known as Zie! She is a writer, marketer and sells designer clothes. She travels a lot yet she manages to remain a present mother to her 19 months old son. Power woman in the making!  As fierce and carefree as she is, her son has humbled her 😊.  She believes motherhood has taught her a lot especially when it comes to decision making. She no longer just thinks about herself but with every decision she makes, she thinks of her son too. * How does it feel to be celebrating your 2nd Mother's Day?  Celebrating Mother's Day for the second time feels so amazing. It's been 19 months of motherhood and I celebrate it every day. In fact, it should be celebrated every day.             * Before you became a mother, what did Mother’s Day mean to you? Growing up,  mothers' day meant nothing really. I only knew there is a day dedicated to mothers every second Sunday of May a few years ago when th...

It is Mother's Day and I thought it cool 😎 to talk to two young mothers. First up is business woman (REFNO Investments Director), accountant and happily married Mrs Refiloe Gama. God blessed her with a princess, Sivuselelwe Gama on the 4th of July 2017. Her second name is Prosper ( speaking to her destiny that she would prosper in everything she did especially financially). Let's talk about Mother’s Day; 1.        How does it feel to be celebrating your first Mother's Day? It’s a feeling that cannot be described with words but I can say it feels good. I realise that there is a higher power and not everyone is given the opportunity to raise a child or to have the gift of a child. 2.        Did Mother’s day have a significant meaning while growing up? Mothers day, to me, means a day where all female guardians need to be celebrated. Some may not be biological parents but the fact that they have ...

‘Begin With The End in Mind’ And there I was with my blog getting exciting numbers with every post. There I was with published interviews [The Swazi Observer] from my blog. Then came a block. A writer’s block as some calls it. Maybe laziness too. I stopped writing for this blog and life happened and days became weeks, weeks months. ‘Begin with The End in Mind’ A Wrecking Ball.Source: Google The quote continues to ring in my mind. I developed exciting content and I got writing again. This time around I had a plan, a concrete content plan. And I saved articles, then the unexpected happened. The damn laptop crushed. Like Miley Cyrus’s crashing ball crashed it! I was so heart-broken but optimistic, a new laptop came and I was armed with a terabyte external hard drive. Nothing was going to stop me at this point. ‘Begin With The End in Mind’ I started writing again and also recording videos [I wanted to join the vlogging world] and content for a 6 month YouTube c...

Tears of Joy for Zimbabweans as President Robert #MugabeResigns. What does it take to remove a leader from a position he has held since 1980? For Zimbabwe, it took solidarity, action, faith, hope and strategic planning [politics]. It was when the military intervened that the world stood and watched everything unfold. Finally, President Robert Mugabe gave Zimbabwe a '2nd Independence'.  Today, Zimbabweans across the world see a brighter future. Change will happen, it may not be overnight but today, celebrations will take happen. Here are screenshots from twitter about #Zimbabwe #MugabeResigns: Again we wait to see: What's next for Zimbabwe?  Who will be the next Zimbabwean President? Mrs Grace Mugabe?  We all wait in anticipation… for now, celebrations!    21 November 2017 – A day not to be forgotten in Zimbabwe.

"The world seems to turn a blind eye when they hurt,  man,  Some niggas can't express themselves to women, so they hurt them." (lyrics from Casper Nyovest's song Superman) So they hurt them. Then we say #MenAreTrash.  A friend of mine recently had a sexual harassment/indecent  assault incident a couple of weeks back. Last week during our Thursday chill evening around a bonfire she tells us her story. "Guys I had a very scary incident last week. I was on my way down stairs from work. (she works in a 8 storeys building, she is on the 6th floor). The lift had just been repaired so it still don't have lights. So I go into the lift with this guy from offices on the same floor. While in the dark lift this guy starts kissing and fondling me. In my mind I was kicking his balls and hitting him but in reality I laughed of fear, he laughed too and continued until the lift opened. I have never felt so dirty and worthless in my life. I go out of the lift, and smi...
