I am blessed and so are you
It’s far easier to look at all the bad things that have happened in our lives. All the words you’ve heard that hurt you so deeply, the affection you didn’t get, the appreciation you never received and all the bad stuff that is engraved in the way you react to people and situations. It’s easier to look at everything you have lost and the opportunities you have missed and the mistakes you have made. It’s just easier to look back and see the good things... Read More
How about forgiveness?
As we women are so much led by what we feel, we think, we imagine, we constantly face internal conflicts when it comes to forgiveness. I am not referring to forgiving someone else but to feel forgiven. We all did, do and will do wrong, say words that we regret five minutes later, take attitudes that will bring consequences for days to come and there we are filling up our centre of emotions with the baggage of guilty and despair. For some the circle goes on up until they... Read More
Value
This is the contribution of Susan Chauke and I felt compelled to share with you all! I hope you can realize how valuable you are: I sometimes wonder if the women in our societies understand the meaning of self-love. I see young women ruining their life by giving themselves to the worldy man in the name of love. One Pastor once said that if a man really loves you he will marry you to show it. But our young women out there fall for anyone who promises them all the worldly possessions.... Read More
Adotpion – When to let them know
Ligia asked me a question a few weeks back about when to tell an adopted child the truth about their origins. I know quite a few adoptive families, grew up among some, and know some now. I’ve seen parents who have tried different methods of dealing with the subject, but the families that I saw with the happiest, most well-adjusted children were those that were completely honest from the beginning. This is what I witnessed growing up as a missionary’s daughter in... Read More
We did it again!
We are just coming back from our HIV Awareness march, from Newtown. It was an awesome opportunity to bring clarity to the matter of why the UCKG has so emphatically supported the distribution of condoms and awareness in this regard. To those who criticize us, we respect your views but to all those infected or affected, I know you understand our urge and drive. The message is being sent across this nation for 15 years but still statistics are on high so not only words but action:... Read More
One woman takes action

HIV/AIDS in South Africa: a review of sexual behavior among adolescents
In South Africa, HIV is spread mainly through sexual contact between men and women (Department of Education, 1999).

Findings of a HIV/AIDS survey by the South African Department of Health among pregnant women attending public antenatal clinics show that the prevalence of HIV/ AIDS among pregnant... Read More
