Conquered SIBEBE for Gugu Zulu (in remembrance)

-

May Gugu Zulu rest in peace.

His death touched me deeply as I felt sad for his wife and daughter. I remember praying that night for God to comfort them for such a loss. Their adventure couple life inspired me to live life fearlessly and enjoy it while at that. 




Hiking is one of my hobbies, I do not hike as often as I could due to schedule differences between my hiking buddies and I. In the past 3 years I have hiked 3 mountains and number of times each. These are Lidwala, Sibebe and Sidwashini Mountains which stretch to Hawane. When I saw the advert for this year's Sibebe Survivor challenge I was glad, this was an opportunity to pay tribute for Gugu Zulu. I planned to hike and conquer Sibebe in remembrance of Gugu Zulu’s adventure life.

The hike took place yesterday (07 August 2016), I joined the thousands of people with my dear friend Nompho at 8am. My early evening training helped with my level of fitness as Sibebe seemed shorter and less tougher. My speed was at its best as well, I guess I am fitter now. Yeah yeah! The view at the top was just breathtaking :) I wish I had a flag to raise at the peak, but well next time. 


I am going to hike almost every month as I have now  found a hiking family. It might not be in memory of anyone or helping anyone but I will hike for myself. Life is fun and is to be enjoyed. I love life and I am glad I am no longer afraid to live and be happy.

                                                            
                       Have a great week.

                               Its Life

Sfiso Ncwane drops versatile album.  S'fiso Ncwane's new album  I received the CD yesterday afternoon from Pamela Zwane, Ncwane Communications representative in Swaziland. I am grateful and happy that she chose my blog as one of the media platforms to write about this powerful CD.  My CD   The multi-platinum selling Gospel sensation, S'fiso Ncwane, has been touched by God to offer his fans, supporters and Gospel lovers another power packed album.   Sfiso Ncwane is about to elevate the game. His diverse 17 track album titled "Wethembekile Baba" consists of several genres not commonly known in the gospel industry. Being the gospel music junkie that i am, I was expecting the typical gospel songs and style throughout the CD, I was never ready for what I heard.  Michelle Williams - Say Yes Song cover  Zakes Bantwini on Joyous 20 In the United States of America we have heard TI rapping a gospel song and Miche...

Woman #2 on my top 2 Woman worth celebrating in Swaziland. I catch up with the fastest female in Swaziland,  Phumlile Ndzinisa.

They are due back in the country on the 25th of August through King Mswati III International Airport.  This was during the Commonwealth games.  Thank-you for allowing me the opportunity to celebrate you as a woman in the sports field.  :) Tell me how you got to the 2016 Olympics.  Nothing was easy but I have been training for it. I started Athletics 2009 where I discovered  I can be better than what I was before. In 2010, Swaziland hosted zone 6 games where I won a bronze medal in 400m event. This is when I realised that maybe I can do better and win. Have you always dreamed of the life you have now? I never dreamed that I can be the person I am now but ...
