 The impact of gang members masquerading as legitimate individuals and attempting to extort money from local projects can have significant negative consequences for the affected communities, as well as for public safety and the overall social fabric. Here are some of the potential impacts:   1. Financial Drain: Extortion can be a significant financial burden on local projects and businesses. Gangs may demand regular payments or a percentage of profits in exchange for protection or the assurance of no harm. This can lead to decreased profits, financial instability, and even bankruptcy for some businesses.   2. Economic Insecurity: Extortion tactics can deter investment and economic growth in the area. Legitimate businesses may be hesitant to operate in areas known for gang extortion, which can hinder job creation and economic development.   3. Fear and Intimidation: Gang extortion often involves threats, violence, and intimidation to ensure compliance. Thi...

1. Increased Speed of Reporting: Citizen journalists armed with smartphones and social media accounts can report on events as they happen. This can put pressure on mainstream media to report quickly and stay up-to-date, potentially accelerating news cycles. 2.

Mainstream media may have biases or blind spots, but citizen journalists can provide different viewpoints, helping to ensure more balanced coverage. 3.

This can lead to mainstream media incorporating citizen-generated content into their reporting. 4. Local and Hyper-Local News: Citizen journalists are often more attuned to local issues and events. They can cover stories that might not be of national interest but are important to the community. Mainstream media can benefit from these...

  The power of the cross has been a topic of utmost importance and deep curiosity throughout the history of Christianity. It revolves around the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and how His sacrifice has become a symbol of redemption and salvation for believers. Drawing upon Paul's declaration in Romans 1:16 that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation, this essay aims to delve into the narrative aspect of the cross's power as reflected in biblical accounts and personal transformations shaped by this unparalleled event in human history. I. The Biblical Significance of The Cross A crucial starting point to understand the true essence of the cross's power lies in examining its significance within biblical context. The life, teachings, and death of Jesus Christ laid the foundation for Christianity, with His crucifixion on the cross being an indispensable part of His redemptive mission. Christ offered Himself as a sacrificial lamb for humanity's sins, ensuring salvation fo...

 by Mduduzi Maseko  Prayer connects, breaks, protects, and frees and impacts a whole lot of things in your life. It does not matter where you are prayer is one thing that must be in your vocabulary, do not wait for that moment where you are in a closet alone and pray privately although this is important you also need to get used to praying in any environment. Don’t worry about what you are going to say the Holy spirit will guide and lead you, never feel pressurized by the people you watch praying on your television or those who are called to pray on the mic in your church using fancy terminology and lengthy prayers, stick to what you know and your mother tongue works very well because you get to understand what you are saying. I have seen many incidences where an old prayer saved my life, I have found myself in places or situations wherein I could not pray but my prayer bank was adequately loaded, I saw the Lord coming through for me, and those prayers actually started...

  The Beast out of the Earth 11  Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon.   12  It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.   13  And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people.   14  Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.   15  The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.   16  It also forced all people, great and small,...

  For thousands of years humans have embarked on a spiritual expedition to seek for their true selves in the face of the earth, in this quest, most find themselves searching in the incorrect paradigm. As a spiritual person myself I once found myself searching in the incorrect place. How do we answer this simple yet complex questions? ·          Who am I? ·          What do I want to? ·          What is my purpose? ·          What is the meaning of life? The answers to this question depend on someone’s appetite to receiving the truth and guidance as far as the question of religion and spirituality is concerned. Religion will direct you to a paper explanation of the above questions, probably direct you to so many research documents and more studying with a possibility of confusion. But Spirituality will conne...

 Ngahlala kunjalo, kunzima, indlela ikhuphukela kepha ngahlala. Uma abantu bathi kufanele ngibone ngamanye amehlo mina ngakhetha ukuhlala eNkosini kunzima kunjalo.  Ngamkhoza ngingaboni umphumela, ngahlala kuye nginga naso isihlalo, ngathatha ithemba lami lonke ngalibeka kuye. uJehova umalusi wami ngamkhonza kunzima empilweni yami.

We all have our opinions on masks and all the conspiracies behind COVID-19.  The truth is none of us know the true impact of the virus, what is safe and what is not, or whether wearing a mask helps slow the spread.   All we can do is listen to our healthcare experts, who spent years earning a degree and studying to learn what they know.  The pandemic we are facing is new and never been experienced by anyone living whether a healthcare expert, political figure, school administrator, preacher, or Facebook specialist.   We all have our reservations about how reliable the numbers are or is there a political agenda behind this, but one thing I do know is the virus is real and it is in South Africa  and all around us.   We are all facing uncertainties that have many unknowns and many of us don’t know what to believe anymore including myself, but today I'm being told that a mask might help slow the spread so I will mask up for my elderly grandmother...

Should followers of Christ Jesus celebrate the Feast of the Wolf, known as Saint Valentine’s Day? Do professing believers really understand that if they recognize Lupercalia, or participate in the annual celebration of this ancient pagan festival of lust, that they are in no way pleasing God?   Do believers really know about the origins of this unholy holiday and that it was promoted through the ages by Papal Caesars, who fully adopted and carried on the lascivious rituals of heathen nations? Shouldn't the disciples of Jesus today heed God’s warning to NOT adopt CUSTOMS used to worship or honor false gods? Why DO Christians observe this day with other unbelievers? Valentine’s Day is not just an innocent Hallmark holiday.  A study of ancient history will reveal that ancient heathen nations, who had fallen under Roman rule, had begun to adopt the hodgepodge state religion of Rome, during the reign of Constantine the Great, however, they weren’t anywhere close to agreeing to aban...

LOCAL PRIESTHOOD LEADER MESSAGE  Elder Dunstan G. B. T. Chadambuka, Area Seventy    'It took us exactly eight days from the day we met the missionary couple to the day we were baptized.'  Towards year end of 1989, a friend of mine, Gregory Mutete, came home in our then small township of Dangamvura — situated in Mutare, Zimbabwe. He reported to me and Christopher Bangwayo — our other friend — that he had secured employment as a gardener from a missionary couple named Grant and Sharol Wilson. They had offered him a book called the Book of Mormon, but he had refused to take it — wanting first to confirm with the two of us. As a group of three tightly knit teenage friends, we all had to agree before deciding to embark on any form of adventure, which we believed this was going to be. Little did we know that this was a beginning of a journey that would try our faith to the limit. We were skeptical about these missionaries — based on the lessons we had received in scho...

The church is to be a Spirit-empowered evangelistic people on mission in the world, passionate to see lost people meet Jesus Christ as Savior, God, and Lord. Any church submitting to the Holy Spirit and obedient to Scripture wants fewer divorces, addictions, thefts, and abuses and knows the only way to see that happen is to make more disciples. The church loves people and is continually and painfully aware of the devastation that is wrought in this life and in the life to come for those who are not reconciled to God. Therefore, while not imposing religion on anyone, the church of Jesus Christ is to constantly be proposing reconciliation with God to everyone.

  The dissemination of information Is not one dimensional in the things of the Lord Jesus Christ, often in times, we read about situations were God used inconspicuous people in the bible to advance his purposes about different situations, from David to Gideon, we saw God using his hand immensely in this regard to fulfilling his purposes. Many people have ignored the voice of the Lord speaking into their lives because of the pseudo perceptions that only prophets can hear and disseminate information from God. The bible says in Acts 2:17 “In the last days, says God, I will pour out my Spirit on all people ” . This is the spirit that allows God to speak into your life and other divine interventions concerning your life. Never in your life ignore the voice of the Lord because of self-doubt. In these last days be warned to never follow the popular opinion because the repercussions are death and pain eternally. Many people have made money the center of it all to a degree that they...

 Eventually you will have to fight. life is all about war, the things you have accomplished today are as a result of your victories of some war. you fought your way out of your mother`s womb you have somehow written a test, you went for an interview, the list goes on and on eventually leading towards your victories. a good fight is determined by the number of changes you have brought in to the broader spectrum of the community  obviously the changes have to be good.  if you spill blood for you to have a meal or have a nice car to drive and a nice house to live in   you are not participating in a war a war of life but you are showing how vulnerable you have become that you do not believe in your own strength to a point were you invite evil powers to cheat the system and fight for you.  

    The is nothing as nerve wrecking like a job interview, you are required to prepare possible questions while at it you must figure out how to answer those questions by yourself, there are lot of dos and don’ts involved but the truth of the matter is that the is no right or wrong answer during a job interview session. Interviews are meant to assess the potential of a candidate and to check their knowledge about a particular field of work or responsibility. I was invited for a job interview in a certain company for a position of an Editorial Specialist and the questions that where asked during that interview were way different from what I have previously prepared. I was expecting something like “tell us about yourself, what are your strengths and weaknesses” but things went south and at this point I was frustrated because my preparations have been blown out. I had to stand on my toes and come up with a contingency plan to cover up for the blown plan, I completely ...

Where we come from there's only one definition of success.   Your successful when you own a car and a personal home. But life doesn't always work like that .  Each person should have his own definition of success.   To me success is constant cashflows with growth. That's what matters to me.  I can get R500k first thing I think about is how do I turn that R500k to R2 million or how can I make atleast R50k a month from that R500k.  I would not buy a personal home with R500k unless I already have consistent cashflows.  You can use the R500K to start a business that can make you R50k a month or R20k a month use that R20k to save up to build your house.  Think about it. Motsepe is a billionaire but still goes around borrowing money.  Why? Why not use his own money and dry up his bank account? Because he understands that cashflow is leverage.  Your father dies . Leaves you with R1 million . You use that R1 million to build a house. A year...

Formal Creative Thinking Of course it is possible to think creatively all the time. There are some people who simply fizz with new ideas and seem to see everything slightly differently from those around them. These are the people who are always asking ‘ Why? ’, and ‘ Why not? ’. They are natural problem-solvers and innovators. However, for most people, creative thinking requires more effort. They prefer to save their creative thinking for when it is really necessary. Typical examples of times when you might take the time to use creative thinking techniques include: When you are facing a major problem or issue , and you cannot see an obvious way forward. At times of change , when it is hard to see what might lie ahead, and you want to think about possible scenarios. When there is   a lot of disagreement  about what needs to happen next, and no compromise seems possible without a lot of effort. When you need something new , that hasn’t been tried before, but you are not sure wha...
