Dear Demo...cracy

Dear Democracy,

I had a feeling you've been stifled and soon, you'll no longer exist. When I met you on 21st March 1990, I immediately fell head over heels in love with you. The thought of you made me blush... Helplessly that was! Around 2015, the new dawn excited me. I was never ever more proud to be NAMIBIAN then on 21st March 2015. If my sisters can attest, they'll tell you how I was boasting to my fellow Young Afrikan Leaders on whatsapp. I beamed with so much pride. I even stopped referring to myself as Azanian-Namibian (but, as you've noticed, I'm back on that horse). Around June or so, a month before my birthday (2015), you broke my heart. I saw your light dimming, I noticed how your voice became quiet. You stopped correcting what was wrong, you ceased to harness the voice of the Namibian nation. Bottom line, you ceased to take my calls. Democracy, how could you do that to me? To the future generation? To le twins? How could you cowardice to incoming dictatorship like that? I don't understand. I've known you as BRAVE, LOVING, OBJECTIVE and most importantly LIBERATING. Your actions have greatly hurt me.

Kyk ne, I may understand that you experienced bribery, stifling of your speech, corruption, looting, mismanagement, (maladministration), fraud, Chinese friends were infringed on you, you were infiltrated by overnight politicians, overnight tenderpreneurs, overnight A-Team, overnight junk status and an overnight increase of Parliament. However, I can't allow you take all the blame. I think I betrayed you when I allowed people to shokotora the constitution. I still ask myself, was I too blinded by excitement that I overlooked your possible assassination? Ai man democracy, I should've known better. Young people who/that are supposed to know better also betrayed you because of the belly, you know mos, HUNGER HAS NO PROTOCOL. Shem. They can't even talk because the cake in their mouths is sweet. For now that it.

Democracy, you've made me Demo-CRACY(zy). Where are you aano? Opuwo shili, you've surrendered power? Nauo riri? Akwetu, I was never ready to see you go down without a fight. I hope you'll be able to realize that your citizenry needs you. We NEED you. For now, I'll pretend that you are holiday and you'll be back soon.

Nonetheless, I hope my status finds you well. Until we meet again, FARE THEE WELL Democracy. Goodbye. I hope to see you when you decide to get back from whatever placed they've buried you in. I meant to say, from your holiday.

Madam Chair aka Sarah-Leigh

I want to understand...

I want to understand why church leaders thinks it's okay to blame the cheating ways and lusts of men on women and their dress code. Notwithstanding that some women do dress inappropriately to church but isn't it the responsibility of the man to control his thoughts? Church has been the BIGGEST advocate for patriarchy. I love God so much, I love my place of fellowship, but when I watch videos of female preachers preaching crap from the pulpit, I ask myself, which kind of God are they preaching to their congregations? And society expects women to be accepted as equals when female preachers themselves blame women for everything? Who addresses the slim fit suits and super tight pants men are wearing these days? You can LITERALLY see the ENTIRE crotch. Jeans, suits, pants are so tight, you can see where the penis is. Why isn't anyone addressing that? So, it's ONLY women that can tempt men oro whati? Soon, churches are going to be empty. Pastors will find th...

Rise, Woman Rise!

Woman, Rise! Rise above the skies and beyond,  Just Rise!  Rise above the hill tops and beyond,  Be Risen!  Rise above the criticism, patriarchy and chauvinism.  Woman, Rise!  Rise above the trials and Tribulations!  Just Rise!  Rise and BE!  Be Loud,  Be Ambitious,  Be Opinionated,  Be Confident,  Be Anything you want to be.  Be anything you want to be.   Rise, woman Rise!  Rise above the skies and beyond.   As women, we have been told how to behave, when to behave, where to behave... We are told how to dress, what decent dressing is by people who know nothing about being a woman. Women are told where to speak, how to speak and when to speak. Who made men bosses over women? Patriarchy is normalized because many women are silent advocates. Society has normalized patriarchy and the church is its biggest sponsor. Rise, Woman Rise! is dedicated to every rebel, every non-conformist, every robust and radical...

Dear Younger Leigh - It's unfortunate but it is true...

Dear Younger Leigh,  I wish I was there to navigate politics and leadership with you.  I truly wish I was there with you, to help you through the propaganda, gossip,  character assassination,  backstabbing, pain, heartache, plots and traps.  I wish I was there to hold your hands and reassure you that it will only get worse.  There is no better in politics or leadership.  It's unfortunate, but it is the truth.  They will target you,  Plot against you, Use you as a scapegoat, Dig massive graves for you, Isolate you, Single you out, Belittle you,  Undermine you, It's unfortunate, but it is the truth. I wish I was there to hold your hands and direct your paths. I truly wish I was there with you, to better prepare you for battle, war, arguments, attacks and attempts at silencing your voice. I wish I was there to teach you how to be meticulous in battle and formidable in spirit. Because, they will love you in the morning, like you by noon and ...
