What Freedom Means to Me-My Visit to...

By Lesego Tau The youth who made this day possible remind me of the tenacity of the human spirit and how, with a strong will and determination, we can rise up from the dust and bring change that is meaningful. What strikes me about the actions of the young people who took to the streets 35 years ago is that apart from their unity, strength and each other, they had nothing else. They had no...

I can see what you are going through and I understand your pain. You do not know how to tell your mother about how those men raped you and beat you up continuously, having them kick you around and, disrespect you and rip out your dignity with no mercy and no remorse!

Dear Fortunate, by Fortunate Khiba

Dear Fortunate, First of all I would like to thank you for believing in yourself. Everything is all right now. You have gone through a lot. You have overcome many challenges in life.

And maybe because of the threats you got...
