I voted for my SRC

-
I am no politician but I have interest in politics and I am no journalist but I love journalism. 
One of the images I captured.
I am writing about my first experience supporting the Students Representative Council (SRC). Since starting varsity in 2015, the struggle did not always seem for my benefit and the previous SRC did not really try to generate issues amongst students.  I did not feel the need to support other students as they fight for their living and book allowances especially as a private and not government sponsored. 

3 weeks ago I was touched to the core! The SRC was fighting a good cause. Amongst the issues were unqualified lectures, lack of Wi-Fi, chairs and classes. This truly worried me, so I supported my SRC... the SRC I voted for to represent me. Everything that happened from the 1st day of striking excited me. I felt like reporting everything live but out of fear I did not. 

When our SRC got suspended shem! Our blood boiled. I felt their pain and all these feeling mixed with the fact that the media was not writing anything. I enjoyed taking pictures and carefully captioning them, just incase. Going to the High Court and singing along struggle songs was super exciting! 

I am glad that we are finally going back to class tomorrow (17 October 2016) and our SRC's suspension was lifted. The strike took too long and I was getting worried and tired, ready to give up. The 5 appointed MP's will let us know in 14 days how our issues will be addressed after a thorough investigation. 

One may ask, was the strike really worth it? I say yes, not all issues will be addressed but there will be a difference from now on. Our SRC shall bow out having done something good.

I am going to study, writing a test tomorrow = I can't upload pics today.

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. The 24 year old young Swaziland was representing Swaziland at the 2016 Olympics games in Brazil. Due to an injury she came 5th in the 2016 Olympics qualifiers. 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 ...
