My Africa (Vhenda)

This is the Vhenda attire worn by females.Their bright colours and creative lines of art on the garment will draw your attention.The Vhenda people live in the Limpopo province in South Africa,they are mostly known for their colourful cultural attires and their ethnic Tshivhenda language.Most people say Tshivhenda is not too different from Setlokwa (another tribal language of the people of Botlokwa) and Selobedu (tribal language of the Balobedu people).Personally,i disagree because i'm Tlokwa (Motlokwa) and Tshivhenda is still so difficult to me.I had the priviledge of going to the same school with the Vhenda people for 5 years but to this day i cannot have a conversation in Tshivhenda without going astray and using my language but i understand the language better than i can speak.The Vhenda woman is regarded by many as the most respectful because of the rules of the olden days that are still carried through even today,for example:laying down by your side to greet/kneeling when of...

Education, good or bad??

Okay, we all want to be "educated" and for most of us education means going to school right? But it seems too much studying is bad because you are really learning what someone else has already perfected, so why not pick a new field and be the expert of it/ be the einstein of that field. Let's take into consideration the following scriptures: PROVERBS 17:16- it does a fool no good to spend money on education, because he has no common sense. ECCLESCIATES 12:12- and my child, there is something else to watch out for. There is no end to writing of books, and too much study will wear you out. This doesn't mean all studying is bad. Hey, we study to gain more knowledge to better our future. And yes i am studying for the money not for the fun of it. After being okay with the job it's when i will perfect my field of interest to bring about change. Of course you dont need to be studying first to bring about change, you can use that idea you have right now to make a diff...

Why blog though??

'So, you mean to tell me that you are just going to spend endess hours typing about how incredible your day was and post it...i mean who cares??' she asked. It got me thinking about how the importance of information communication technologies (ICTs) in the rural areas of my country South Africa is not yet recognised. There is still a huge gap (aka digital divide) in these areas. Most people are only familiar with social networks (especially chat rooms) as they feel they benefit from this. But measures needs to be taken by our fellow university students (as they are more exposed to icts), the local government (whom can initiate programs especially to primary students). It's so sad to see a high school student without any clue on how to search and save iformation for an assignment on the internet or how to use microsoft word to put it all together. I cannot blame them though, we were not exposed to that part of the digital world in our junior years. I remember my first year a...
