Striking the Balance with Tumelo Mokwena

Striking the Balance with Tumelo Mokwena is a Vaal Diski 9~Nine feature every Monday….

A good morning to the elders, sisters, brothers & football fanatics. We head into the last week of September & there are only three months remaining of the year 2016, indeed time flies.

Ubuntu-Our Heritage…

September is celebrated as Heritage month in our country & it often sees the embracing of our different cultures & traditions. Throughout this month we have worn different regalia & observed different customs based on our various traditions but I stand to be corrected that we all have so much similarity. If we were to go through all the various people of South Africa, mostly we share the same morals & principles, its just that we package them differently.

There is no doubt that as Africans, Ubuntu is a huge part of our heritage. It is indeed a trait we ought to embrace more often. It is  part of who we are. Ubuntu asks of us to contribute in each others lives to have a stronger, unified &  progressive community. Ubuntu speaks to the empowerment of others in all ways we can, let us take from this heritage month a rediscovery of who we are & be the vehicles of change we can become. On our road to the top let us walk & rally fellow brothers & sisters. Africans, Ubuntu is our heritage. Let us heed the call of selflessness!!!

Until next week lets Maintain the Balance
