PIKELELA GUTYUNGWA MEMOIRS

My Peaceful Waterfall! In this life of ours and throughout the world: we have all kinds of mannered persons. The good, the bad and the ugly. Some people are inviting and irresistible while others force us to avoid even their shadows! If you want to know a man, don’t listen to his parents. Listen to the comments of his neighbours. Chinese Proverb. I believe if most people listened hard enough to their ethical and moral critics, our world would be a better place for all! It’s hard for me just as it would be for anyone else, to come out and present myself as the most perfect of all humans. Humble persons don’t go around singing own tunes... I’m humble look at me! We’re all driven by our natural different personas! Thoko Grace Maseko was one of a kind I could vouch for. Thoko like her name had this exuberant aroma and grace. Thoko was my Peaceful Waterfall. Her persona and gentle demeanour was her strength in a noisy world! Her serene, sweet and almost silent voice was ...

  A Constant Breeze Of Fresh Air Hello people. Pikelela Gutyungwa here standing in the mix. I rise up in the name of love for my departed Sister: Thoko Grace Maseko. I am here today to praise Thoko and not to bury her. You see, Thoko was a very happy and a jolly person. She lived her life to the fullest. Even though we’ll never see her physically again but she’ll always be with us in spirit. Her sweet memories will grant us wings to soar above the pain of loosing her! Thoko Grace Maseko believed in people and had great respect for all. This sweet and almost rooted to the ground beauty exuded with bubbles of joy! A Constant Breeze Of Fresh Air. Thoko was a brave fighter who survived all kinds of weather. Thoko Grace Maseko never enjoyed a pain-free life health-wise. I truly admired her faith in God and how she was determined to look forward to living through each passing day. Thoko was a hero in my world! A Constant Breeze Of Fresh Air Thoko Grace Maseko wa...

  Whatever Is Left Of My Life! Once upon Eternity and inside the Glacier of Life, the Foetal Me stood trembling before the Throne of the Almighty. God said, what is the Family Record of this boy? My Guardian Angel answered... his mother was 42, his big brother 65 and his two elder brothers were 59 and 61, Most Gracious LORD. Has the Council Of 24 Elders reached the verdict on his life? God asked. Yes Lord they have. The Council has agreed on the total of 105 years. Ok then, you’re dismissed. God declared. The greatest definition of life lives inside my heart. There ain’t no use for me trying to define other people’s life. It takes a lifetime to discover mine. If my life was the same as a cellphone battery I’d be in a better position to realign and reimagine accordingly. I’d make every single day count as if it was my last day on earth. I’d take the most sacred vow before God, not to ever waste a heartbeat and an iota of my priceless breath in nothingness. Whatever i...

  The Failing International Peace Agenda! The United Nations is an Intergovernmental Organization whose Stated Purposes are to maintain International Peace and Security. To Develop Friendly Relations among Nations, achieve International Cooperation, and serve as a Centre for Harmonizing the Actions of Nations. Every peace loving human being upon the face of the earth can embrace this UN Charter and make it their own. The world’s lack and need for Peace, is the most important missing link which has been eluding the world for thousands of years. The UN was founded on June 26 th in 1945 after the WWII. There was much jubilation and stirred hope for peace when this Intergovernmental Organization was formed. But alas, the celebrations didn’t last long as wars continued unabated despite the best intentions of the UN. There were no less than 39 wars globally between 1945 and 1949. It is shocking to say the least, that despite all the trauma and loss of life brought to...

  Me Against The World! We all live in the world of unreasonable expectations, endless innuendos and projections of lies! What you see isn’t always what you get! With the AI taking over, it’ll be almost impossible to tell the real from the fake. For others in order to survive, squeezing themselves inside the behavioural mould configured by the rich and the powerful.. is the only way! For the defiant, standing on their chosen principles and remaining steadfast in their commitment to justice, equity and peace... is their passion! It’s me against the world when it comes to personal choices. I find it hard and impossible to keep my life and attitude in line with over 8 billion souls in this world. I can’t imagine myself twisting and imitating everybody in the name of class and conformity. My life down here is limited 100% to my heartbeat! It was my sunrise when I breathed for the very first time and will be my sunset when I breathe my last! Life is too fragile for m...

  New Year’s Eve Torture! Every year I’m forced by the calendar to reflect on my immediate future looming in just 24hrs... I keep thinking! What in the world is the new year going to give me? I always look forward to surviving the flaming swords. These whatabouts are more than I can bear! God gives each person, enough time of more than 61000 hours per year to find out what exactly we want in our limited lives. Some people survives and count their money. Others sheepishly withdraw to their sad corners and lick their wounds! Hey. What the hell happened to all the luck allotted to my timeline? Different strokes for different folks! The difference is what decides the kind of stroke you end up with at the end of your day! New Year’s Eve Torture! There’s nothing I hate in a year like the Festive Season! Sometimes I wish I could just hibernate and sleep it off! Crazy Festive Season.... Damn! Midnight November 30... Goodnight everybody, I’m going to sleep! See you all...

  This Jesus You Crucified! And when they had set them in the midst they asked. By what Power or by what Name have ye done this? In the history of the Beginning of the Church, we find the High Priests interrogating Apostles Peter and John.   It’d have made more sense had the Priesthood led worshippers in celebrating this self-evident miracle performed at the Temple Gates. But instead, these wicked priests decided to question God’s Power! What a pity! If they had acted real, these guys would have even gone as far as renaming the Beautiful Gate after Peter and John. O Praise God! Isn’t amazing that you could still feel the Power and the Presence of God, in their angry words? It was hard for these unbelieving hypocrites not to regard this phenomenon as a miracle! By what power and by what name have you done this miracle? These religious fools asked and demanded as if it was a crime to perform miracles. Remember, just less than 100 days earlier, the same religi...
