Democracy

You are the enemy of autocracy
You bring literacy ekasi (ghetto)
Democracy is the rule of the people
By the people, for the people
Through the people
Amandla ebantwini
Inhlonipho emphakathini
Ubuntu ebantwini

Democracy you are the solution to Africa`s autocracy
You are the cousin of liberty, equality and fraternity

Thumbs up to all democrats!!
For many souls
Have been lost in political battles
Many remain with political scars
Their hearts are decorated with sores
Many have been lost in demonstrations
In their plight for social emancipation

Cowards say: in democracy the minority will have their WAY,
The majority will have their SAY
Alas!! For today we a generation of valiant soldiers
Soldiers who won’t bow down
Until the majority have their WAY

Some call it cash money, imali, muler  ,some say its the love of it is the root of all evil whilst others say it makes the world go around.The most interesting thing about money is that some of us cannot leve without it and neither can they live with it for to them its a case of "more money more problems" .Over the years,scholars have argued that: "the greatest source of motivation is money.Well we all need money as a means of exchange and to facilitate trade transactions and a store of value .However ,to a greater extent money has failed to motivate many people for  the greatest motivator is a strong, clear and passionate vision. This surpasses the desire for money or any gain whatsoever!Money cannot buy you a vision but a clear vision can get you money.

The influence in a leader

Every song comes from another song, every leader succeeds another, every story end is the beginning of another, every person is from a successfully fertilised sperm and every story repeats and continues another. Likewise success breeds success and so shall the sperm of success when natured, monitored and groomed well it shall produce success. The power of influence can only be useful when put into motion , the same applies with leaders who have influence but don’t direct it towards transforming societies. The power of influence however cannot function without the necessary environment.Influencial leaders are people who are able to create a conducive environment for them to exert that influence, they don’t force people to buy into their vision but their works act as a bait to lure followers. Influence is earned over time, remember that there is always competition for it .In the same fashion only a competitive sperm can result in fertilisation. “We are all cut out from the sam...

FEAR ,NO FEAR! Move from a moaners and a groaners to movers and shakers

  Fear kills more people than death .In order to have self motiavation  you need to acknowledge your fears.That you fear something is a first positive step towards setting your mind free for fear is truly and purely a mind game.You can overcome your fears,yes you can all you need is to take the next essential move   of practical action oriented.It is this action step that determines whether we challemge and change the way things are done or we just conform to situations and rot inside us in fear and our dreams are buried inside our hearts.As a  result we cheat the world of an important leadership gift and seed that is in us  .We can overcome our fears by  challenging the way things are done.     Fear can be simple defined as:   F-alse E-vidence A-ppearing R-eal As leaders we become effective when we first deal with our internal fears,for the world out there is built on fear of the unknown whilst success is...
