The Thandanani cleaning project mission: s Pretoria residents living in a healthy environment, but the community members do not want to work together and they continue creating illegal dumping sites” said the leader of the Thandanani cleaning project 


how we clean our environment

They are no planning to start a door to door campaign whereby they will educate households about the hazards of illegal dumping sites within our community. The problem is that residents do not want to wait for the municipality to come and collect the waste.

Member of the community are making their job difficult and it seems that they forget

Shaka was the first son of  Senzangakhona and Nandi he grew up at his mother’s place
also known as Shaka zulu was in the year 1787 in Kwazulu-Natal, 
assassinated: 1828 September 22
Dingane and Mhlangana, Shaka's half-brothers, appear to have made at least two attempts to assassinate Shaka before they succeeded, He was the most influential leader of the Zulu Kingdom

Dingiswayo's death


According to the diary of Henry Francis Fynn, Dingiswayo's death (c.1818) was the result of Shaka's treachery, though firm testimony of this is lacking. However, it is known that when Dingiswayo fought his last battle, Shaka did not arrive at the scene until after his overlord's capture. He thus retained his forces intact. Zwide later murdered Dingiswayo, and, when the leaderless Mthethwa state collapsed, Shaka immediately assumed leadership and began conquering surrounding chiefdoms himself, adding their forces to his own and building up a new kingdom.

WORDS FROM MOTHER


BE WISE / HUMBLE 



“If you can dream - and not make dreams your master”. 

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim. 

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and 

treat those two imposters just the same... 

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue. 

Or walk with kings. Nor lose the common touch. 

If neither foes not loving friends can hurt you. 

If all men count with you. But none too much. 

If you can fill the unforgiving minute -

with sixty seconds worth of distance run, 

Yours is the earth and everything that’s in it. 

And - which is more - 

You’ll be a MAN, my son”.

“My destiny was set out for me..........All I’m
doing is living it out.....
