  OPINION-PIECE   (picture source ://SOWETANLIVE) Lurnay Tshabalala-Mavuso | Senior Reporter | Columns & Opinions | 23 October 2024  It is just yesterday when Springbok captain Siya Kolisi and his wife, Rachel Kolisi announced on their instagram pages that they are divorcing. The Kolisis shared these news via a shared post on their instagram pages, where they state clearly that they have set down and reached to an agreement to go separate ways with their marriage, but continue to be good friends and co-parents for their children's sake, they also agreed to remain good business partners as they together run the Kolisi Foundation. Now so much has been said by the media and by people via social media, which makes me realize that people do not really understand that the Kolisis had no obligation to let us know of this decision that they have taken which affects their personal lives, but because they are public figures they have decided to share respectfully what they woul...

Zinhle Priscilla Sibiya | Columnist | Columns & Opinions | 28 June 2024 A day in the journey of life As much as it is important to have a healthy lifestyle it is also important to pay attention to mental health. You may be wondering why your daily productivity has been slow or unfulfilling. Focusing more on the things that happened in the past will definitely make you stuck at one place and be a slave of your past . Live in the present , so that you can have a better tomorrow. We learn everyday and we improve . A day in the journey of life is a huge blessings on it's own , so let's make the best out of it . The challenges we face everyday give us new lessons to tackle the difficulties in a different manner on a different day. It is important for us to learn from our failures so we do not make it a habit to do the same thing that does not benefit us in a good way all the time. zinhlesibiya@tsakaneinformer

Lucky Blom | Columnist | Youth & Lifestyle | 20 June 2024  The Youth: I SPEAK FOR ALL OF YOU!!  To all the young peeps out there.  The word of the day is "FUTURE" . Our parents depend on us in changing our home situations. They depend on us in changing the world, making it a better place to live in. It is therefore our duty to work hard to make that a success.  We all have different goals that we want to achieve. Let us work hard towards our goals. A word of advice to those who are in matric and those gunning towards matric, never ever take a gap year, time waits for no one and it moves fast. Go to varsity, college or consider online courses.  You want to achieve your goals right? Then don't just relax at home because those goals will never bring themselves to you if you did nothing to achieve them.  To those who have lost hope or losing hope on education, NEVER GIVE UP!!The opportunity is there, waiting for you to grab it with both hands. S...

Lucky Blom - Columnist | Columns & Opinions | 19 June 2024  Let's talk...  Why do we judge each other? Why do we criticize each other? Why do we look down on other people?  I mean we all come from different families and different backgrounds. You having money doesn't make you better than anyone(My opinion). Yes I know some people were born into rich families, big houses, big cars, fancy schools and all the luxury, does that give you the right to mock others because of where they come from?... No. One thing I've learnt in this thing called life is it humbles you to the ground and it hits you so hard that you forget you even had the luxury in your life, karma also plays a role in that.Yes you worked hard,you went to school, varsity and secured a seriously good paying job and got yourself into luxury. But remember in all that,you must never forget to respect other people and never judge their backgrounds. Otherwise regret will follow you. Let me speak for eve...
