We cannot forget that we live in a country where, just 23 years ago, unwarranted violence towards people of color was accepted as the norm. It's ironic that the video went viral on Human Rights Day, day where we commemorate the slain black bodies whose only crime was protesting the discriminatory laws of the land.   We’ve just be exposed to yet another traumatizing racist act. The nation by feet’s and shocked by a white man who attacked a black at Spur restaurant in The Glen mall in the Texamo Spur at the Glen Shopping Centre, east of Johannesburg. A video of a white has been widely shared of social platforms across the nation. The argument turned violence. In the video, a man tells a woman to “disciplined “a child he claims to had hit one of his children. He threatens to slap the woman. He shoved a table at her. The man has been since been banned from spur. Both we rude, although being rude is not the same thing as being a racist, the woman accused the man of bei

SKIN_WHITENING

Image
via Google images In a world where beauty often only goes skin deep and light skin is perceived by many as more desirable, dark-skinned women find it more and more difficult to love and be comfortable in their own skin. Skin bleaching or skin lightening is the practice of using special creams or methods on the skin to make it whiter or paler. It is a very common practice world over, although it is more common among blacks who often do it, not necessarily for its health benefits, but for the simple reason of wanting to attract potential mates. Regardless of whether you are for or against it, there is no denying the fact that skin bleaching has come to stay However, it is important to draw our attention to the fact that it is not only black women who bleach; other black men bleach as well. Many black women and of course, black men, spend so much money on expensive body crèmes to make them look whiter. The important question is what factors motivate black people to bleach?

                                      Gay life in a society By Mongi Matyholo via google   According to the  encyclopaedia, Gay   is a word whose original   meaning   was happy or joyful. In modern   English ,   it usually   means   homosexual. This   meaning   is more common now. The word "gay" describes a person who is sexually attracted to people of the same sex. They are often also romantically interested in people of the same sex. Being gay is one sexuality, not the universe. The sexual orientation of homosexuals is self-discovery and begins from early adulthood. Most people have been saying that being gay is against God’s will and it’s not sacred, some even go on to dispute that God in the garden of Eden only created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Abraham or rather Esther and Eve. Like really? .Why one gets worried about something that isn’t concerning his or her connection or holiness with God? Who would wake and just randomly decides to be gay

Veteran Nomsa Nene back on screen after 16 years. The actor, who reaped the hearts of viewers in the 1990s with the Zama-Zama game show on SABC1, is back on a new drama series. Her last appearance was in 2001, as one of the hosts on the Toasty Show. She was also on e.tv, where she depicted the vivacious and flirty, cleavage-barring Zsa Zsa Gabor. Most actors abide by the code that acting is not about being someone different. It is finding the similarity in what is apparently different, and then finding yourself in there. Talent that is been polished by God can never be tarnished. That is true, whether you believe it or not.  Sometimes veterans do better than then youngsters do. You are as young as you feel, YES. Nomsa Nene is back to bless our small screens. If you were born in 2000, you do not know the talent. However, if you were born in the 80s or before you are mostly going to recall the SABC1 game called Zama-Zama, hosted by the then the exquisit
