News: South Africa Celebrates Youth Day

16th of June marks a day in the lives of South Africans. The incidents that took place on the 16th of June, 2016 re-writes history in South Africa. On this day in 1976, students stood up against the Bantu education system. It happened first in Johannesburg Township and spread through other townships around the nation for the rest of the year. The uprising was triggered by apartheid government policies that caused the introduction of the Bantu Education Act in 1953.

During the movement police blocked about 10 000 to 20 000 pupils moving towards the Orlando Stadium. A confrontation ensued near Orlando High, and a 13-year-old Hector Pieterson was killed. The major contention was for the government to stop the use of Afrikaans as the learning language. This movement remains a part of South African history.

Sundayspiration: No Condition Is Permanent

Onika Tanya Maraj a.k.a Nicki Minaj popular American rapper, singer and songwriter

So i'm going to share a lot of past and present pictures in this post. These pictures went viral recently and i think it shares a strong message which i'd like to re-iterate today. Feel free to air your opinion in the comment section if you agree or diasagree with me.
 
Life is never constant and the statement that no condition is permanent may sound like a cliche. However, i need you to think about it again. Many successful people started out like you. Uncertain of the future, not sure if the tide will settle, or if the breakthrough will eventually come.

You may be going through some tough situation and feel that its the end for you. Or you feel like quitting. Here's a strong message that the picture above and many more below is saying to you: don't quit, don't stop,  don't you dare give up! It may just be that your next effort will turn your situation around. Or that the gold is just a few meters away, and you may end up doing all the work and give up then someone else come along a thrust one more dig and strikes the gold. And most annoying get the credit for your work!

Must Wear Trending Hairstyles

A new week is almost here and you may be considering to change your hairstyle. They say to spot the classy woman you need to lookout for her hair, brows and shoes. I think these factors contributes to a lady's class and style beat. So here are some must have hairstyles that should wow you!

Places To Visit: Amboseli National Park, Kenya

You can't correctly tell how beautiful this picture above is until you see these animals yourself. The wild life viewing is entirely breath taking. This and more is what you get when you visit Amboseli National Park. Summer is here and you may be making decisions on where to visit. If you haven't been to Africa then you should consider Amboseli park. The park has this water body flowing from Mount Kilimanjaro situated in Tanzania but you can see her in all her glory from the park. The water is from the snow on the mountain. When it melts it flows and some of that flow is found in the park.

The park is about 39,206 hectares in size. The local people are the Masaai (very good jumpers). I met these people and they are just wonderful. When you visit, please do something good for them.

You will naturally find animals including elephants, Cape buffaloes, impala, Masai lions, cheetahs, spotted hyenas, Masai giraffes, plains zebras and blue wildebeest, hippopotamus and many more animals. You will find beautifully crafted acacia trees in the park. I even saw an albino monkey!

The Sunrise and Sunset in Amboseli is absolutely beautiful!
