Silent Goodbye a sad reality. (Mom passes on & leaves small Children)

-
The quiet community of Ngodini, just outside Nelspruit in Mpumalanga, South Africa, woke up to heartbreaking news that left neighbours and relatives in disbelief. Twelve-year-old Ayanda had always been the responsible one. As the eldest of three children, she helped her mother care for her younger siblings, eight-year-old Sipho and four-year-old Amahle. Their mother, Nomsa, worked hard to provide for them, often reminding her children that no matter how difficult life became, they should always love and protect one another. One cold winter morning, the children woke up as usual. Ayanda prepared breakfast while waiting for their mother to get up for work. Minutes turned into an hour, but Nomsa never came out of her bedroom. Ayanda gently knocked on the door. "Mama?" she called softly. There was no answer. She knocked again, louder this time. "Mama, it's morning. You have to wake up." Still, there was only silence. Growing worried, Ayanda tried opening the door. H...

Tsvangirai speaks on violence,( My Father Victim Nelson Vhudzijena)

08 October 2012

Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has threatened to pull out of the inclusive
government if his party supporters continue to be victims of political
violence.

Speaking in Zaka, Masvingo province this weekend, the Premier said he would
soon convene an emergency council meeting to decide whether or not to stay
in the inclusive government.

The district of Zaka witnessed some of the worst cases of political violence
during the 2008 elections. A number of MDC-T supporters were petrol bombed
and killed during the orgy of violence, largely perpetrated by soldiers and
ZANU PF militia.

Last week the party’s ward chairman in Zaka, Nelson Bvudzijena, was injured
when his house was petrol bombed. He was taken to the St Anthony’s Musiso
hospital were the MDC leader paid him visit.

Tsvangirai also accused ZANU PF leader Robert Mugabe of being a hypocrite,
who denounced violence by day and promoted it by night.

He told his supporters that his message to Mugabe is that they cannot
pretend to be working together when violence is taking place, adding that he
would confront Mugabe and tell him to ‘shape up or the MDC-T will ship out.’

He continued: ‘I am going to call an emergency council meeting to see if it
is worth it to continue in the government of national unity. Shall we
continue to turn a blind eye when my supporters are being tortured, when
diamonds are being looted?’

Political analyst Mutsa Murenje told SW Radio Africa on Monday that while
everyone agrees that an end to the unity government is long overdue, there
is a danger a pull out could prompt Mugabe to delay the elections.

‘The unity government is long overdue, nobody still wants it but only free,
fair and credible elections can end that. The end of the government must be
promptly followed by elections but do conditions permit? So the threats won’t
really work if they don’t have an alternative and palliative measure to deal
with what is likely to happen after the pull out,’ Murenje said.

A Masvingo based journalist said the main message from Tsvangirai’s address
to his supporters was for ZANU PF to stop the serial political violence
against the MDC.

‘I don’t think a pull out is possible at this hour, it will be suicidal but
what I can read from what he said is that this time around they won’t
tolerate violence against their supporters.

‘It’s also clear that he warns such impunity on political violence, if it
continues, leaves no room for clean elections in Zimbabwe,’ the journalist
said.

This New Ultralight Aircraft May Be World’s Fastest Single-Engine Business Jet

  The speedy LAR-01's automotive interior adds comfort and luxury. Plus: The wings detach, so the jet can be stored in a home garage. By  MICHAEL VERDON           Courtesy Flaris The  Flaris  LAR-01 has a number of striking stats, including being a ton lighter (literally) than its competitors, along with an unusually short-field landing capability, and detachable wings. But its most impressive number is the 250-knot true air speed, which its designers say makes it the world’s fastest business jet among single-engine very light jets and turboprop aircraft. Flaris says recent tests “confirmed the assumptions made previously” about the effectiveness of multiple systems, including its Garmin G600 avionics and Flaris Flight Assistance System flight computer, as well as the landing gear and emergency parachute system. But it also claims more impressive stats like the 250-knot TSA at 10,000 feet. Its 6,000-feet-per-minute climb rate, adds the compan...

Fighting Drug addiction

-
 Here's the story: We sat down with a man who had a harrowing journey with addiction. He began by telling us about his early days in tertiary education, where he would occasionally smoke dagga with friends. However, his focus remained on his studies, and he worked hard to graduate and secure a qualification. After landing a job, he started building a life for himself. He got married, bought a property, and even splurged on a car. Life was good, and he felt like he was on top of the world. But one fateful night, while out with friends, he was introduced to heavier narcotics. At first, the experience was exhilarating. He described it as an elevation from the mild high of dagga to a level 5 high, where he felt invincible and euphoric. The effects would last for days, allowing him to party from Friday to Sunday without sleep. The problem, however, began to manifest on Mondays and Tuesdays every week, when the withdrawal symptoms would kick in, and he'd struggle to function at work....
