THE PRESIDENT`S PAINTING

I really dont know where do I stand regarding the President Zuma`s art painting.I write this prior to reading an Article in the Sunday Times, the article was explaining the reason as to why Advocate Manindi cried in public.From my own perspective, I see nothing wrong with the painting its just a display of art and freedom of expression.I just feel its given attention since it concerns the President.

Maybe if it was just me the fuss would`nt be that much.We agreed to freedom of expression in our bill of writes.So freedom of expression is part of the parcel.Should we really say that the article is racially associated does it really bring back those apartheid scars.I dont  think so.The question is how do you feel.

LOVING MY MOTHER TONGUE.

Today I woke up thinking about something I love,people i`m really in love with the spoken word.Which is poetry in this sense, and I love writing it using ISIXHOSA my mother tongue.I have a problem with the value of this language I think in a few years time, the language will not be published.

Nowadays you find a group of young, black Xhosa speaking children.You find that they communicate in English and fluently, the tone even changes.Not that I have a problem with English,but I think we should really look back.Yes its a fact that English is a universal language,but I think we need to give our languages a platform.It becomes a suprise that a xhosa speaking child doesn`t know(Inkomo). and yet she/he knows that its a cow in english.This issue is serious guys and its food for thought, because we are really loosing it.
