Youth Searching For A Role Model is collection of my poems about the youth. The challenges they meet, the youth without role models.

In Venda we had elderly men who would rebuke children who bunked school. There words would be "you are running away from school you will suffer when you grow up. If you can't read and write you struggle in life". Then the old man would ask "what is your name my grand-child? Who is your ...

I was trying my best to help others out of poverty, sharing the little investment knowledge I know about shares, unit trusts, 32 days’ notice investments, Government Bonds and stockvel .

Most of us were not taught financial skills as children, when we got a coin we ...

Growing up in that environment I learned the joys, tears, criticism of interracial relationships and marriages. Besides all ...
