A woman with a heart of gold, a woman of God


In today's post I want to pay tribute to my sister, Lakshmi Mohan for the good work that she is doing in New Delhi, India. It has always been her dream to educate the poor and the needy and she has been doing it for a few years now within her own home and neighbourhood. News about her good work has spread and hence this matter was taken up to a government level. So now the Delhi government with the help of the police force came up with an education program and approached her to conduct classes based on a set syllabus. She started teaching a few days ago. This is a fine example of how ordinary citizens can bring about change within their own communities and eventually within the country as a whole.I am really proud of her and I salute her for her good work. If you know of people like this in your community then please go ahead and tell us about the kind of work that they are doing. Let us pay tribute to these individuals who give themselves to their communities unselfishly. Their only goal and pleasure in life is to uplift and empower those who are less fortunate than themselves...

Our Domestic worker Yaseen's birthday..:))))

Our domestic worker Yaseen celebrated his birthday a day after my birthday last week. Whilst many families in South Africa and in the Kingdom experience endless domestic worker related issues, in our household the domestic workers are pretty much considered to be a part of the family. Hence to show our appreciation and gratitude to our domestic workers, we usually host a small party at home on their birthdays. Many people out there do not treat their domestic workers in a humane manner and yet it is the domestic workers who work day and night making their employers life easy. They sacrifice a lot by leaving behind their kids and family in order to make our lives easy. All they want in return is a little bit of respect, gratitude and appreciation and no doubt they deserve every bit of it.

Death penalty to drug dealers



A facebook friend forwarded me this info, and he was under the impression that the Azaadville Neighbourhood Watch (ANW) had started this campaign. I contacted the ANW and they have informed me that whilst they have not started this campaign they have adopted this campaign and they fully support it.. This campaign was initiated by a local organization although I do not know who they are. Emails were sent out urging all South Africans to support this campaign within all communities and neighbourhoods so that the government can start taking notice that all South Africans are now 'gatvol' with the present drug and crime situation in this country. If anyone out there knows who initiated this campaign kindly let me know.

Respected Fellow South Africans, (irrespective of race, colour, creed, religious affiliation or political affiliation)

Apartheid was a crime against humanity.

DRUG DEALING IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.

Our country is swamped by Drug Dealers from every part of the world. Our children are not safe in schools,and many neighbourhoods are under siege. Nobody can say that they or their children are immune to the effects of drugs. Practically every household or neighbourhood across the country has a story to tell relating to drug abuse.

We are over 50 million good decent law abiding citizens who are being held hostage
by no more than a few thousand drug lords, in the country. (yes and some elements in the government)

It is a proven fact that In no way can this Government or the Police under the control of this regime be able to protect the masses.

It is time that we all make a BOLD statement through a simple car poster campaign to vent our feelings . I have posted  a jpeg picture of the poster above so that all of you can simply save the image and then print it.

Many advocates of anti death penalty may say that the poster is against the Constitution of this country. Yes, that may be correct, but the constitution can be changed. It is not written in "Granite". THE BAR IS RAISED IN THIS "CAMPAIGN" TO DEMAND THE DEATH PENALTY - IF THE GOVERNMENT CANT RESPOND TO THAT - THEN MAYBE IT CAN GET TO LIFE IN PRISON FOR A DRUG DEALER.

You are invited to print an A4 size poster and place it on the bottom left of your rear windscreen till the end of July 2013.

1.This is a peaceful protest. (NO VIOLENCE OR VIGILANTISM IS ENCOURAGED)

2.This is a silent protest. (THE POSTER WILL SPEAK FOR ITSELF!)

3.This is a show of unity to the evil drug lords and corrupt officials that we the good decent morally upright people of South Africa outnumber them by millions,and are not prepared to tolerate their activities any longer.

4.This campaign does not have a leadership, is not under the auspices of any organisation or movement, rather this campaign is a statement by the heads of households,mothers,siblings, extended families and communities and the country as a whole that we are now our own collective protectors.

5.One may call it a referendum by the people.

To:THE CLERGY OF THE CHURCHES, THE PUNDITS IN THE TEMPLES, THE ULEMA IN THE MASJIDS, THE RABBIS IN THE SYNAGOGUES, AND TO ALL LEADERS IN THE VARIOUS RELIGIOUS GROUPS, YOU ARE HUMBLY REQUESTED TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE BY INVITING YOUR CONGREGANTS TO THIS CAMPAIGN.

TO THE TRADITIONAL LEADERS:THE KINGS, THE QUEENS, THE INDUNAS LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR YOUTH, PLEASE JOIN THIS CAMPAIGN.

"IF YOU SAVE ONE LIFE YOU SAVED AN ENTIRE NATION, YOU DESTROY ONE LIFE YOU DESTROYED AN ENTIRE NATION"

Please people in the name of decency, morality and humanity join the campaign, don't be afraid. WE, the good citizens of this country are all together in this. Print the poster and stick it on your car and let the drug lords and the government see our collective feelings and frustrations towards this scourge of mind altering drugs.

Equation: One drug lord/dealer has 10, 50, or 100s of clients in order to enrich themselves financially. They destroy young innocent lives and put them into a life of perpetual misery and slavery. Is this not a crime against humanity?

REMEMBER GOOD ALWAYS PREVAILS OVER EVIL;LET YOUR OWN INNER CONSCIENCE TALK TO YOU!

PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH ALL SOUTH AFRICANS. COLLECTIVELY WE CAN FORCE THE GOVERNMENT TO TAKE A STANCE ON THIS SERIOUS ISSUE THAT IS UNDOUBTEDLY AFFECTING THE LIVES OF OUR YOUTH, THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY.

GOD BLESS.
