Life

Well, well, well, well I wish I could just say that. Its been a while since I've been here and I've promised myself that at least I have to write something everyday but now have realised that I can't not that there is nothing to say but its just that time is always against us. 

Starting with work: work is cool I would say I love my job its just that the money is not enough especially since I work away from home so I have two houses to maintain and its taking its tall. I've learned something new and I'm so happy and addicted to it working on a website. Karen Lotter aka eThekwini girl is doing a very good job in this. 

We are renewing our website at work so I'm kind of doing all the editing - I'm always happy when I learn something new. I've told some of my friends that I'm looking for a part time  job and am hoping I will get something soon and believing that the Almighty is planning something great for me. 

Before I forget; we were invited for a launch of two Agenda Feminist Media Journals, Sexual and Reproductive Rights edited by Deborah Ewing who is my Director by the way and Family Politics edited by Kristin Palitza. These two women did a good job. It was great to meet Kristin, she looks lovely. 

Guest speaker was Dr Nompumelelo Zondi a vocal woman and we had entertainment by Vivani Bafazi - a women's traditional dance group from Zwelibomvu. They are a bunch of amazing women most of them if not all of them are illiterate and unemployed. I like them and made a promise to them that I will visit them when I have time. 

About the whole launch thing, personally I think it was boring. The set up, there was not banner to advertise the organisation hosting it, I don't think you want to know about the time it started 3 hours late because there were people who were suppose to come. Who do you blame in these instances the organisation or the guests who responded to the invitations because we would not have waited if they did not. Oh! and there was this young poet girl who did a good job - her voice is amazing. 

What was really sad for me was the fact that the Vivani Bafazi group could not understand what was being said because of their level of literacy I wonder what was going on in the heads of the people who invited them. Were they considered as just a group of entertainers? I think they deserved to know what was going on because one of the articles was about their own communities. These are some of the things that we come across in our daily lives. 

Enough about work for the past weeks I've been... am trying to find the right words of saying this. I'm looking for a place to stay here in DBN but nothing. So at the moment am frustrated, stressed I'm living with my niece and her husband at the moment who are so very moody I hate every moment of it. 

Last week my friend's son Qhawe turned one it was a great party!!!!!! I met new friends and a friend suggested that I join the African Village group of which I did after a few reminders from her. This site is great I've met great friends from Kenya and Nigeria. We try to talk everyday, if we cannot chat we text each other. There are good people around. This week we are trying to finalise our website at work. 

Have to go now, will talk later! 

Peace
