THE HOUSE THAT FORGOT HOW TO LAUGH

 There was no love missing in our house, because there was no love left to miss.That was our secret. We were not sad. Sad would have been easier.In House 24, 2nd Street, Germiston - the Molefes were perfect.6:00 AM - Alarm. 6:15 AM - Mom in the kitchen. The sound of the spoon against the pot. Same pot. Same porridge. Every day for 7 years. 6:30 AM - Dad at the table. Phone brightness on his face. He nods at Mom. Mom nods back. That's their good morning. 6:45 AM - Me and Junior. We eat with the TV on mute. Mom says TV at breakfast rots your brain, so we watch the pictures move with no sound.No one shouts. No one throws plates. Our neighbors who scream at each other at night - they have more life than us.We just... live. We pay. We eat. We sleep. We repeat.Then Mrs. Khumalo gave us the project."Grade 4s, for Life Skills this week: Record 10 moments your family laughed together."I took my pink notebook home like it was gold.DAY 1 - Monday I wrote the date and waited. Dinner....

Terrible accedent

Hours before New Year l witness a horrific accedent a texi / kombi fully loaded with people from Soshanguve burst the rear tyre, flue into the air out of the road and crashed upside down on middle tarmarck road. When l stoped on the side of the road with other pple to go and see people were scatered all over the ground. Its so unfortunate that we confirmed 3 dead on the sport 2 brothers ,1 beautiful sister crashed head first into the road. 1 small infant, thrown on the tar was just flat no breath. 1 brother had a rock deep in his head on the brains, bleeding from ears, mouth and cracks in the head. He might not make it also. Another dread man had his dread locks rooted off the head on impact in the tar. He was shrugging and or rolling all over ontop of the dead sister and back on ground. We need God's prayers that he may make it too. 4 sisters, 1 child and 3 brothers were crying and confused but badly injured. They needed quick help to be taken to hospital but with accedences you never know they may serious internal head injuries.  Most it was the head bleeding.The Lord have mercy on us. This is after l have drove past a person who was just hit by a car on Tsamaya road Mamelodi west. I am now home and finished work.
