OMAR MUKHTA


King of the dessert as he was famously known he was a "rebel leader" in The Italo-Persian war of 1911-1930 a war that lasted nearly 20 years. Omar Mukhta defied the italian invasion and was determined to stamp them out with support from his persian allies. Him along with his sunite forces where driven out of the city towards the desert little did they know that he was armed with geographical knowledge that he would use to his advantage and put up a long standing battle against this invasion. He successfully frustrated their advances but in the late 1920's his forces were rounded up and put into camps. Ths greatly weakened them as they were deprived of food, spied on, constantly hit by italian forces thus undermining their resistance. Omar Mukhta was finally captured and paraded thru the town for all to see as a prize posession of the italians. He was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging. His efforts earned him the title Lion of the dessert that was later made into a movie. As he was being led to death he recited sayings and prayers from the quaran.... fast forward to 2011, does this sound familiar??

This dark skinned, african, munyakore woman is venting this morning so let the woman be.For years n years i hv always had my guard up n once in a while i let it down, learn to trust, live a little, let my hair down and all that gibberish. Time n time again i get bitten in the ass but still neva learn and today is no different. Reading a book.....yes u read right I AM READING A BOOK entitled TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST,TOUGH PEOPLE DO. In the preface there is a prayer

Baby Amor

Be the first to know that baby amor is born. She came to me in a flash and the days that followed rushed passed. She is my baby and i cant wait for her to come to light. My little oyster that seems a dream but on a countdown to make her real

Teach me father

Teach me father to keep quiet if i have nothing good to say

Teach me not to have expectations for then i wont get disappointed

Teach me father that once bitten twice shy

Teach me Lord that you are enough

Teach me to smile wen expected to anger, to laugh wen expected to cry, to arm wen expected to back down, and to love because you have loved me

Diamond in the rough





Tribute to another angel gone too soon



PHILIP MAGEZI 30/05/1983-26/06/2011












Truly set apart to touch the lives of every single individual that was honoured to have known u as a friend, brother, son , confidant......



You were a gift without a doubt and will be remembered for your laughter, your smile, your courage , your strength. We laughed, we partied hard, you had our backs...you were my friend and a brother...you were my Boy!






The story was told that your father passed at 32 after being shot dead by thugs in a robbery, sad to say at 28 you faced a similar wrath that within days claimed a life so precious. I promised myself that i will never, irrespective of the circumstances call God unfair but this here left me with so many unanswered questions.




You looked out for me more than my blood brothers n not only were you the life of the party you lived every day like it was a celebration. A life of physical pain that saw you undergo 4 plastic surgeries, permanent disfiguring but in all this you picked out blessings and not once did you have self pity. Admirable strength and esteem that made life floral, we hae lost a gem, a true diamond in the rough







REST IN PEACE BRO




I am the art.....not the artist

I have been told in the past that i have an inflated sense of self worth ( i still don't see how that is a bad thing) but little do the...
