Talent Search To Reduce High Unemployment Rate In South Africa. Learn To Earn A Living Earnestly & Not Depend Too Much On Government or Stealing I do not believe continuous handouts to sustain any individual social grants of a country for the youth; in a long run is the ultimate solution to substitute unemployment for a dependency syndrome. Companies and Governments must offer alternative permanent job creation opportunities, for people to add value to society and appreciate their self-worth for being employed. We Need Youth Employment Service Program Projects like "Shoes & Sneakers Comedy Cartel" to develop creative talent and life skills should be part of our education curriculum. Entrepreneurship must be taught at high schools as a compulsory foundation course. This will prepare students for vocational training, instead of limiting their scope of interest and development to pursue academic studies.  This basically is how you prepare a developing nation into self-reliance, on skills development to kick-start small business initiatives to grow the economy. high unemployment rate in South Africa The high Unemployment rate in South Africa The only way to realize our true potential as a nation is to become successful individuals in our own rights. Improving our technical and vocational creative skills and talents is a wise investment in the human capital development vision and the national plan.  We need skills that are exportable and will not restrict individuals from finding job opportunities outside of South Africa. Placing race, colour, gender, and religion or nepotism impediments in employing citizens; is prejudice to their abilities to deliver better skills with qualifications, to employers. This is a deceitful attempt to undermine the rights of seriously qualified and credible job seekers to earn an honest living. Trevor Noah, Elon Musk, Charlize Theron, Bonang Matheba, and many other S.A. celebrities who left the country for overseas greener pastures; are the reason why our country is lacking in talent to create and manufacture our own S.A. brands to export abroad. I'll be the next to follow. The UK, USA, Canada, and European countries are where aspiring individuals with tongue and cheek need to focus their attention, goals, and ambitions. To prepare, thrive, and build legacies for themselves. This is how we can begin to set high standards for professional personal achievements. Setting high standards is not an option, but a necessary tool for our follow-up succession planning. This talent job creation drive is to improve writers and develop new authors in the townships to groom creativity and new skills.

South Africans Are The Only People To Decide The Fate of The Country. We need more than a miracle for a complete change in political justice against leadership malfunction to get the country in good order. The role of “messiah” to remedy our country’s predicament is something to be considered an impossible dream to fathom.  The corruption viruses incurred by The ANC will never take us forward anytime soon. We must forge a different path to find an alternative solution that will transform everything from scratch to the glory we’ve all wished to experience. “A world of Shangri-La” was conceived as a place of Freedom and Prosperity after 1994.  Perhaps, a new political party fresh from the ground up is what is needed right now to save ourselves from this annihilation. We Share The Same Dilemma And Fate Of Africa's Moral Degeneration! South African black folks have a dilemma and a challenge to deal with the reality of the ANC corruption nightmare. Let alone the after-effects and the hangover of a honeymoon and the intoxication of a long-overdue delusional democracy since 1994.  It is time for ALL South Africans to wake up and smell the coffee.  Since the inception of S.A's democracy; it has become a habit for the ANC government and our people to tolerate excuses for poor performance in all sectors of SOE’s service deliveries.  Optimization of resources to govern effectively without failure to their mandate to account to the nation has come to pass and they should be held accountable to the people for not delivering services. They shun taking responsibility for poor and bad decisions to own up to their actions for lack of discipline in their workplaces, and notch up the performance of standards to meet the country's economic output expectations.  Our government is suffering from the terrible mental paralysis of self-denial and uses its incompetency to pretend they're in control. The reality is that - they don't know what they're doing and have their brains and faculty of reason twisted in a knot. Why after 28 years of democracy do we still have communities traveling 20 km to fetch water. Why do we have children in street robots begging for food instead of being in the classroom? We have people like Mzwandile in Soweto who runs after-school music classes, yet National Lottery Funding do not support his community development initiatives? - Read more about Mzwandile Here! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/isaac-khonjelwayo/message

Schools as concentration camps to promote fear! Who should be held accountable -  School is not a very good place to grow when you are young and fallible. It actually looks like a glorified concentration camp that had invisible silent emotional walls waiting to torture and cramped you in.   Young as I was I did not have a big brother to protect me against any bullies at school or on the streets from home to school and back. I was always alone almost ready to fight my own battles in order to survive. Victims of Bullying Needs Help Life is the same for most people if not for a majority of us. We get bullied by our financial circumstances (poverty is a bully), we get bullied by society’s rules, dogmas, and mental negative conditioning, and no one to look up to for our solutions.  We get bullied by Eskom rising electricity tariffs, Petrol suppliers raising the petrol price, traffic cops issuing unlawful traffic fines, and sometimes police officers who are supposed to protect us. I sometimes wonder why do we have to put up with this entire S*#%$&t. At which point does a normal person have to keep taking all the crab from anyone and possibly everyone, before they reach breaking point to commit murder, crime or suicide?. Often this crosses my mind; even when it comes to paying for goods and services at shopping malls and the till counters. READ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/isaac-khonjelwayo/message

Sometimes, when all our doubts, fears, and insecurities wrap ourselves up, we always come up with the idea of “I wish I was somebody else.” This is not a good sign of confidence and it means your “being” is a question itself. More often than not, we think and believe that someone or rather, most people are better than us.- when in reality, the fact is, most people are more scared than us we just don’t know it. Isn't it funny? We look at other people, envy them for looking so outrageously perfect and wish we could trade places with them, while they look at us and thinks of the same thing. We are insecure about other people who themselves are insecure of us. We suffer from low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence and lose hope in self-improvement because we are enveloped in quiet desperation. For as long as you don’t feel good about yourself you will display a poor vision of your capabilities and talents. Your work will not be good to your associates. Your outlook and performance will be compromised and the end results will be very poor in quality and unimpressive. Yet! When you give your all, you display confidence and everything you do will gradually become good if not exceptional.

The Churches Newsletter This episode is the continuation of EP.74 part.1 Why should the church have its own church newsletter? Well! First and foremost, the primary purpose of the church is to reach out, preach, teach, empower, disseminate and communicate the Gospel and Christianity, if the dogma is about Christianity or God as the essence of creation, if the focus is about God. Whatever, the message is about.  This information can be used to empower the congregation as well as the community, outside of the church. The non-congregants are part of the mainstream searching sheep; who are left-out of the church because they’ve not found a reason to belong in the church. This is where you find members of the famous “Gabola Church” disposition is affected by alcohol abuse, drug peddling and addictions of all kinds. The newsletter can be produced weekly and distributed to the church as part of the education drive to reinforce the teaching. Other information related to the church can also be included in the newsletter, e.g. upcoming wedding celebrations, special baptismal events, bible classes, prayer meetings, community crime rehabilitation programs and the churches Sunday school activities etc.  The youth can be involved in the production and coordination of the newsletter to instill a sense of responsibility and purpose to develop their leadership skills and good qualities. Review Episode No.74 here The Sermons Booklet The Second item in the menu of archiving information for the library to be considered seriously by the church; is the production and printing of the churches Sermons Booklet. Why is it important for the library to have such a booklet? The sermons booklet serves two main important functions that the church can use to keep hope and the Gospel Teachings Alive and flowing, by constantly updating people with the latest information. The church should distribute it on a monthly basis to remind the congregation of the last past four sermons where upon the teachings made an impact to the congregation. This follow up strategy is how God empowers us to remember Him and constantly praise Him. Otherwise if this booklet is not in the hands of the congregation every month, they'll forget why they went to church in the first place. The second aspect of this booklet is a reminder and a reference book for the congregation to use as a personal encyclopedia of teachings to entertain their spiritual sentiments . It does have an impact to the readers psyche and it keeps their atmosphere and focus on the teachings.  Rather than the church leave this to be in the hands of “social media” abuse of fake news. The booklet is a mini-version of the big picture i.e. salvation and our constant war against evil. This sermons booklet allow members of the church the opportunity to be soaked in the message rather than be lost to negative programming and messages that will destroy the atmosphere built by the pastors’ sermon. In Conclusion That in a nutshell is how the church should view, plan, visualize and go about setting up the library strategy of the church. If the church wants to survive the new millennium challenges or to meet the needs of the people on the ground. It’s message and teachings; should be consistent and fed constantly to serve, impress and to empower or execute, a new vision that will transform our communities to see the church grow beyond its current state.

So! It goes without saying that no church should be without a library. The library should be part of the communication and education center for all church matters. This means the church should formulate or establish a team of education and communication members to manage and execute every other mission pertaining to the development, activities and ministry of the church. Therefore, the literature and its communication deployment within this context should be produced, created and published by the church. All literature should be about the teachings, scriptures, and related information that will empower the readers and members of the congregation.  These publications should encompass languages within which the church can liaison with the congregation to accommodate, self-development, African Religious History, Eastern and Western religious teachings for educational purposes. Eight Resources The Church Library Should Never Be Without: The churches monthly Newsletter The ministry monthly Sermons Booklet A Journal of the church past, present and future goals Choir and or Music Score/Songs division or dept. The history yearbook of the church All Audio Files and Podcasts belonging to the church A Video Channel to broadcast the services of the church A Social Media online presence to reach out to the youth The Biggest Enemy & Evil That Society Should Fight Against Is Ignorance However, in the churches’ pursuit to establish a communication center and assign duties and responsibilities to its volunteers. It must have the churches’ education committee already in place.  It is only natural that the church should investigate which curriculum it will need to embrace or follow to form or influence the basis from which their literature material will be produced.   Apart from choosing people and volunteers in the congregation to offer their skills, expertise and knowledge in the establishment of these structures and projects, the church should communicate its intention and plans to the congregation. The church should find community members who qualified personnel to assist and support these undertakings and efforts.

Learn to ask questions, to find answers and direction in life, because help and advice can come from anywhere. This is why if you don't ask for advice, help and free guidance to overcome personal problems and challenges, your life comes to a standstill. You stop to function to your full potential and end up using only 5% of your God-given talents and abilities. Therefore, you can not blame God for your failure, because people who surround you can offer better solutions to help you with free tips and survival techniques to move on with life. If you don't trust your parents' advice, why not seek advice from friends, the church, acquaintances or someone already successful and knowledgeable to guide you in your life's journey. How Anyone Can Become Their Best Product You can't fight the battles of life in isolation if you're not Superman. That is why God provides and sends parents, friends, colleagues and religious connections to help us navigate through these treacherous potholes of living.   Thirdly, education is one of the most powerful tools and cornerstones of personal improvement, an asset that enables people to be liberated to possess divine guidance through knowledge.  If you stop reading and educating yourself, you open yourself up to instant decay. And your success and spirit will drop from realizing its own glory and refulgence. That's the reason why God gave us the mind to think, to learn, to grow and to share our experiences with the world. You need to learn how to make tough decisions and choices in life, so that you can prosper and conquer adversity.  This experience and skill can be acquired by learning to, prepare your mind and yourself to take advice or ask for guidance from wise people who have been through worst situations than yourself.

Legacy builders don’t cheat seasons of time to harvest their crops. Your Spirit is your license to God’s conscience. You can gain fame or lose fortunes; but without lifting a finger you’ll get nowhere, it’s all a pipe-dream. You’ll be like dog chasing a moving car and when that car “stops” it doesn’t know what to do. This is what happens when a government like the ANC changes political leaders and the opposition party takes becomes silence and oblivious of the negative impact it will bring to our economy. To be famous and rich you must be a lucky hardworking dude to a degree of being considered fortunate. Bill Gates or Steve Jobs biographies tell a promising tale of building legacies of wealth through honest hard work. Yet! To be fortunate you need to be luckier but possess a vision to work-wiser to keep such wealth and be content. It doesn’t make people guess if you’re not happy and have not conquered Life’s mysterious quizzes. Although everything in life is possible. Life gives everyone an opportunity to explore the right means and ways of acquiring things without the temptation to cheat. Even though real wealth takes a little longer to build and realize results of once hard-earned goals. Patience will always be our virtue to trust that one day your hard work will pay-off. It is always better to let the process of wealth building grow natural, than to seek short-cuts in obtaining quick riches. After all Nature’s menu of ordering and delivering our needs and wants is the most fail-safe means of securing a none forged and temporary happiness acquired through illegal means and methods. This is just how life operates – It doesn’t get any better than this. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/isaac-khonjelwayo/message

Soweto in a nutshell. hen fate ties you into a knot – What do you do? Soweto in a nutshell is a preview of Life in Soweto South Africa and a mindset of a new breed of creatures who seek something great and good for nothing, perhaps even free without paying a price for it. Yet! It is not about the entire history of Soweto, as it would not do justice to depict the true history of Soweto.  Rather, this observation and the understudy of my people is a short representation of glimpses of its authentic strives and thrives, i.e. my heart-felt rhythms of its biological clock and the mixture of modern day blues. It is about the plight and courage of a people that stood to fight for an ideal purpose in life. This was in the early days of political struggle in South Africa. The 60’s until the 80’s was a bleak period in the history of African people in South Africa under Apartheid. Our people were able to learn to stand together united by a common goal to overcome adversity, and the hatred instigated by white people – just because we were dark skinned. We had challenges, but rose above and beyond limitations defined by destiny of a political agenda through a sick system of government injustice called “Discrimination In The Name Of Apartheid” and a class and caste division called “Separate Development” of African people according to their culture and traditions, and residential allocations in various townships and cities.  Only to end up in 2018 with fragmented individuals who are fighting to amass and secure wealth and riches at the expense of stealing and laziness to thrive on poor leadership chaos the country is facing today. My effort since 1994 is to try and crystallize the important parables of its unique blend of human strength and integrity of character in a way; paint the inner and outer kaleidoscope of my observations to unravel but the basic unending, yet intertwined mystery of its unfolding yet unlimited but, complicated tapestry; I would like to call living under the “Fallacy Of A Faked Democracy” of 1994 elections. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/isaac-khonjelwayo/message

When fate ties your nuts into a knot - What do you do?

Does it mean we have to hire maids & consultants to do the work our grandparents used to teach us? Does it mean our status as a society has misled the nation to believe we are infallible and untouchables to do our own dirty laundry?   Where is your Church program that teaches young girls how to prepare and cook family meals? And boys how to repairs door handles and wash daddy’s cars and keep up the garden? Does it mean our society has lost its core humane characteristic that was inherent? in the teachings of our forefathers’ values and traditional cultural upbringing? Are we so low to stoop beneath the level of our IQ that we can’t see right from wrong and make corrective measures? When will your Church take a stand to fight the scourge of this undesirable plague?  When will the voice of reason begin to shape the minds of the young to learn how to survive in the modern concrete jungle? Does it mean the country is doomed to produce a breed of unfit  leaders that will drown our blissful aspirations and dreams into a bleak future? When will your Church wake up from slumber before it realizes that the community it is serving and the building they occupy as a Church will one day be empty; because the real temple of Christ has left the neighborhood for Heaven? Does it mean we all need a Messiah to take us out  of bondage and lead us once more to the Promised Land?

“SELF- ACTUALIZED” CONTENT CREATORS THE BACKGROUND CONCEPT":  A better world is a world where Self-Actualized People with good intentions and humility empower us unconditionally with knowledge and skills to make our dreams achievable and realized in our lifetime. My Definition of Self-Actualized viz. Self-Realized In the context of this TOPIC and the background information I want to explain will imply:  A “self-actualized” person shall mean a person or an individual who is willing, able and capable of giving back to society- knowledge, experiences, information, skills, or shed light or proactive thoughts and building blocks of information unconditionally and unreservedly to the public, community or to society as a whole to empower educate and to inform them to become better human beings. Whereas, this person can impart their knowledge, teach, share information and or skills as a “selfless act of passion” to empower, liberate others from ignorance in order to fulfill his/her inner spiritual drive to perhaps meet their material need or ambition. In the process of giving, if such occurrence intends to make the other person think, feel, do or act better than their usual state of being.  While a “self-actualized” person’s ambition might or can satisfy both the giver and the receiver; the self-actualized is not always restricted by distance, height, sight, space or boundaries of time to benefit their receptors. Any means of profiting from giving and sharing or imparting such knowledge if such information is owned and controlled by them or someone else with legitimate rights to do so in the beneficial processes; I consider it an act of kindness and noble gesture to mankind.  The “self-actualized” individuals’ skill can be deliberated as a way of life to expand upon their consciousness of awareness to exist as givers. In their purest form of intend it is to inspire or to raise questions while make a difference or impact on society to behave and react in unexpected ways positive or negative. This impacts and alters society’s perception about the world views we live in. ETC.... Read more here! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/isaac-khonjelwayo/message

“When fate hands you a lemon – Try to make lemonade”. Happiness, peace and understanding are positive to the human mind and promote physical well-being. However, we think better, perform better, and feel better and healthier when we are happy and jovial. From a medical point of view, Dr. Schindler’s definition of happiness is, “A state of mind in which our thinking is pleasant, a good share of the time”. Russian psychologist, Kekcheyev, tested people when they were thinking pleasant thoughts they would see better, taste, smell and hear better and detect finer differences in touch. Also, Dr William Bates proved that eyesight improves immediately when the individual is thinking pleasant thoughts or visualizing pleasant scenes. Similarly, Margaret Corbett found that memory is greatly improved, concentration enhanced and that the mind is relaxed. Now, thousands of years ago wise King Solomon said, in his proverbs, “A merry heart doerth good like a medicine, but a broken spirit drieth up the bones” But, Dr. Maxwell Maltz has a more interesting point of view about happiness and he says. “Happiness is not something that is earned or deserved, happiness is not a moral issue any more than the circulation of blood is a moral issue, both are necessary to health and well-being”. Apparently, what we should learn from these findings is that if you wait until you deserve to think pleasant thoughts, you are likely to think unpleasant thoughts concerning your own unworthiness. You will expect people to make you happy. You’ll expect your wife, mother, brother, sister, boss, friend or relatives to make you happy. You’ll expect politicians to make you happy, successful, wealthy and healthy. If you have not achieved any great heights academically or otherwise in any spheres of life, there is no reason for you to feel inferior to anyone. This is of course, provided you are still open to reading, learning and thinking, for it is the person who believes he knows everything who is in the worst position of all; because he has blocked his mind and potential to see other possibilities. “Bear in mind that the best education in the world is not  necessarily received in a classroom. It can be learnt from the greatest teacher of all – LIFE”. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/isaac-khonjelwayo/message

How Can The Church Build Its Legacy Through Education? To educate a congregation is a “Calling” but to empower the nation with the teaching of Christ or religions from across all continents is a “Gift” from God. Yet! The Power and the Legacy of the church will be in the archived literature that the church produces to communicate with its congregation and the community it is supposed to serve. A Church Library is a duty every ministry should have as a tool to mobilize its resources to effectively maintain its teachings to keep the “Word” alive and devil or “negative Power” at “Bay while protect vulnerable souls from evil. So! It goes without saying that no church should be without a library. The library should be part of the communication and education center for all church matters. This means that the church should formulate or establish a team of education and communication members to manage and execute every other matter pertaining to the development, activities and ministry of the church. Therefore, the literature and its communication deployment within this context should be produced, created and published by the church. All literature should be about the teachings, scriptures and related information that will empower the readers and the congregation.

Anyone who is alive and are able to read and write should at least leave something behind like a legacy when they depart from this world. This topic is not about death and why you will die. It is all about your personal awareness to your existence and the most important role you have played or have yet to play or undermine in your life to deserve a publishing contract. A majority of us will never make an attempt to tell their story while alive and ticking; simply because they think writing a book needs a special talent or a magic wand to warrant receiving an accolade. This is not true, the myth that you need to be “special and gifted” is just another fallacy to make you think your story is less important to you or us potential readers of your benevolent tale. Writing a book is no where difficult than it is learning a new skill. Like riding a bicycle or learning how to drive or cook delicious family meals. Everything in life is and has a learning curve and acquiring new skills requires a little more effort and time before one can master it as an art. Yes! Some people are more gifted and talented in writing excellent successful books than others. But this depends on which book genre one needs to exploit to discover their true calling. Or we can debate this issue to try and find an excuse “why you can’t write” which leaves you with one option. Pretend you’re not alive and history will not remember who you were among people who walked this earth.  Any person willing to try writing as a career or hobby can become a successful full-time well paid reputable author if given a chance and the opportunity to try it out without being judgmental about it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/isaac-khonjelwayo/message

South African black folks have a dilemma and a challenge to deal with reality in the Millennium and the after effects of a honeymoon and the intoxication of a long overdue delusional democracy. It is time for ALL South Africans to wake up and smell the coffee! Since the inception of S.A's democracy it has become a habit for government and our people to find excuses for poor performance, poor time keeping and a lack of discipline in all sectors of their workplace, as a way to determine standards and measure outputs. As if complacency is part of their job descriptions and their 30% Government Output Expectations is The National KPI's standards setup by Government to measure the countries IQ's to CONTROL and limit potential. How on earth can this country compete internationally, with such low expectations and output drive and determination? How else can you create jobs and improve the economy when your government policies are in two opposing and conflicting ends of philosophies of socialism and capitalism. It's like spiting sweet venom to wealth creators where unions and public servants demand high wages and perpetuate labor unrest with sustained plans to deliver poor outputs and completely ignore and defy principles of free enterprise systems' potential benefits in a free market economy? If you are not born to lead, you will not possess a vision, to guide and manage progress.  If you are not born to manage people, you will not possess compassion and passion to excel, in your job and conquer challenges like a champion.  If you are not born to think openly and take advice, you will not possess the ability to see right from wrong, when things go bad.  If you are not born to inspire a nation to rise above adversity, you will not lead by example to honor the spirit of great leaders like Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King to name, but a few.   Therefore you are not a leader, but a paper dossier like a school prefect and cannot control or direct positive events which shapes a nation to a desired goal of building a secured bright future for its citizens. Most leaders in our government institutions and parliament are paper dossier leaders trying to restrain their emotional and personal indulgence of turbulent day-to-day decisions as if they’re managing bedroom crisis only to keep their families happy.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/isaac-khonjelwayo/message

The passing of Mr. Ray Chikapa Phiri on the 12th July 2017 touched me so deep that; I had to find an excuse to write about our local music talent and the untapped treasure of our unsung heroes; let alone the musical geniuses this country has ever produced. Music all over the world is known to be a force that unifies and brings people together. As if to keep hope alive and shower our aspirations and dreams with a renewed meaning to want to push for survival and move on. We are all touched and affected by music in reference to our favorite icons – the world over. But, when you lose a musical genius and a leader like Ray Phiri, it’s like losing one of your close family relative. We are bound spiritually by music and the bonds we form with musicians. As fans we unravel our humanity when one of us is unsettled or is separated from us physically the pain is unbearable. This tribute cannot do justice to all of our deserving local South African musicians who have passed on and those still alive today. However, my heart goes deep, and back to the early days of our political struggles as a nation.  Music became our source of comfort and therapy against aggravation. “As Blacks” our lives were intertwined but, tainted with despair, turmoil and uneasiness that were destined by Apartheid Masters to decide the fate of our daily bread. Yet, our inner peace was wanting the least trustingly tampered with by the powers that be.  My trip down memory-lane was reminiscing of the good old days and how history can turn around to play our feelings against our intellect. It’s unimaginably difficult to know whether our lives are just another episode of time attempting to redefine our unity of purpose and self-indulgence with individual musical tastes and obsessions. Or we simply survive and face adversity because someone has their music turned on? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/isaac-khonjelwayo/message

 The Nightmare! Three people you should never trust with your life in this world whispered my Sangoma, a politician, an insurance broker and an accountant. They each represent the devil wearing different hats; even a prostitute can relate to this analogy. “He” is as old as Judas Iscariot and as young and pretty as lady Marmalade. “He” will sweet talk you into his chamber of promises, but will deliver few of “His” obligations to a T. He has no honor or moral conscience to stand on nor can he be trusted with your cash. He breaks principles and marriage vows like he was never part of any deal by cooking the books. “He” will caress your ignorance over your already confused mind, like a magician fooling around with his audiences’ mind. He will hold both your private parts all at the same time, without due respect to your privacy or dignity with a warm soft touch of delusional pricks until you are bedazzled with undaunted excitement.  “His” spell will be all over you like honey melting slowly from your chest to your belly in the heat of a moment with subliminal mind encounters. “He” will steal all of your leftover innocent feelings even bees will not notice the difference. His charm and vanity will intoxicate your five senses brighter than the irresistible neon lights of Las Vegas, in a dream state of illusion.  “He” will cloud your judgment with his faked-serious character not to reveal even the slightest clue of his Master Plan. You will be over the moon by his sales pitch and diluted cheap talk; to lure you into his bedroom where your demise is already planned to take place. “He” will hypnotize and lead you sensually and carefully into his soft undeniably amazing magnetic cleavage, i.e. his “charmed-delirious-promises” like a sneaky man killer beautiful beast trapping its unsuspecting victims with python eyes! Only to stick “His” sharp thirsty blood sucking vampire teeth into your foolish neck’s unfulfilled material desires.  “Where your desires become your prison and you become a victim of all circumstances”. Only to replenish his crooked ways to continue to feed his lust for endless craving of exotic tastes. By the time you wake up from this hypnotic trance to realize what is happening to you. You are already cooked roasted and buried into his stomach. He Just Ate You Alive™, without literally placing you on a barbecue stand. Yet all along he was seasoning and spicing you up with your eyes wide opened, and served you to himself for lunch with exotic cocktail drinks to down you swiftly from his dry throat.  Why? You are too easy a prey that is naive or lackadaisical to read between the lines and foretell future mishaps of pitiful paradoxes, filled with political, economic and social dilemmas which delude your mind. Listen to MR. Gadla Mpuhla relaying the incidence. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/isaac-khonjelwayo/message
