A poem by Alice Walker

Winnie Mandela
We love you.
If we had known you
In a time of peace
We would have loved
Your peacefulness
Your quiet so deep
It did not hear
The call
To fight.

We missed our chance.
Winnie Mandela
We love you.
In a time of war
We love your ferocity.
We love your vigilance.
We love your impatience
With killers
And charlatans.
We love your hatred
Of the deaths of our people.
We love your hatred
Of despair.
Winnie Mandela
We love you.
We love your beauty.
We love your style.
We love your hats,
Scarves
And various lengths
Of hair.
We love the passion
In your body.
The fury in your eyes.
When you smile
We are amazed.
We love your loyalty
To Nelson
The  beautiful.
Your attention to
The children
And the voluptuousness
Of the countryside
Which will be ours
Again.
We love your memory
Of details.
We love that you do not intend
To forget.
Winnie Mandela, “Lucy,”
We love you

For helping us recognize
The eternity you’ve been with us before.

Winnie Mandela, Sister,
We love you.
Yours is the contemporary face
Of the mother
Of the human race.

TODAY WILL BE AN EMOTIONAL DAY FOR ME. 💔
Sometimes, a story can touch your heart. Sometimes, a story can change the way you look at your own health.

Today on the Talking Diabetes with Pitso Molemane Podcast, I will be speaking to a gentleman who lost his eyesight because of diabetes. He was not born blind. Diabetes took his sight.

His journey is heartbreaking, but it is also a powerful story of courage, resilience and hope. He has chosen to share his experience not to frighten people, but to raise awareness and help others avoid the pain he has experienced.

His story is a powerful reminder that diabetes complications are real. They can affect our eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and many other parts of our lives. But there is hope.

South Africa’s biggest star took the stage last night at Joburg theatre. We sang along and watched in awe as he displayed his mastery and love to us.
An absolute gift. At 87 yrs old he had us up on our feet with his showmanship. Big love to Ntate Caiphus Semenya🌸
