@RediTlhabi It’s sad to see violence being meted out another human just because they are different. Our Africa should be bigger than this. This is not utu-ubuntu.

Another day in the life with cancer
It's ok to be tired
It's ok to be exhausted
It's ok to be mad
It's ok to be over the non-stop appointments
It's ok to complain
It's ok to ask why me
It's ok to not want to go
It's ok to wish you never got sick
It's ok to be jealous of healthy
