My name is Ursula February. Today I would like to address the issue of  bullying in the workplace. Some may ask what is she talking about, there is no such thing. We only know about bullying in schools. We'll peeps surprise, surprise.. Bullying is a reality not only in schools but also in the workplace. I've learned that their is great awareness and campaigns around the issue of bullying in schools, but not so much about bullying in the workplace. Most people are sacred to talk or  speak up about it in the workplace for fear of various reasons; eg: loosing their jobs. I've noticed that when young people enter the job market they are being bullied by those who's been with the company for years and some maybe just a year or two, but because they part of a very negative group they enjoy making the lives of the newly employed as unpleasant as possible. When young people excels..in most cases jealousy creeps in the workers thats been with the company for quite awh...

Hi to everyone out there. My name is Amina and I'm from South Africa. I love keeping fit on a weekly basis.   Walking is good as it keep me fit and healthy. Its good for the bones and help keep us flexible. Help us relax, clear our mind and relieves stress. When walking we do not spend any money as its free. We get lots of fresh air, meet people and get new perspective on life. And you will feel amazing after your walk. Walking is a very good exercise to keep fit. I would encourage people to go outside and get walking. My goal is to be fit and do a 5-10 race. So lets get out,get fresh air and keep wking.

I had a dream to become an air hostess. Being the age i am now i will never fulfill this dream. I remember being in grade 10 (standard 8) and my guidance teacher applied for me to become a hostess. Unfortunately with failing the grade my mother said i must leave school and go work. My mother asked my brother to get me a job where he was working at that time, which he did. I was very disappointing then i decided to stay positive and set a goal for myself and go for it. I did just that and started venturing into the sales world then into counselling etc. I started doing some courses eg: home base, counselling and communication, domestic violence, pharmacy assistant, PASCAP, ECD, Office Management, First Aid, Project Management, Introduction to Computers, WOW {Western Cape on Wellness},{ Occupational Health and Safety, Small Business Management, and presently doing Geeky Moms } with RLABS. Also planing to do more courses. My vision now is to open a daycare center for older person...

Life is not that easy, it has got its ups and downs and it need you and you alone to take control of it. I would like tell a story of the journey to where I am now. I am a married woman and I have four children. I am coming from East London and I moved to Cape Town in 1998. My husband was already here so I was coming to live with him. At first I was not here to stay I was visiting, but many things happened while we were here with my two kids that time. the circumstances force me to stay. My husband was not happy with my decisions and that was when I saw his true colours. He used to go and live us alone with the kids and come back the following day and when I asked him where he was he would beat me up and shout at me. At that time I was unemployed. One day one of our neighbours introduced me to a small business as street vendor.

Growing up in a very conservative home,her dad being a polygymist ten year old chupa chehra lived a very difficult and confused life.Remembering the beatings,sjambok used on mother and siblings.remembering locked doors and the cries,because of her father having two wives her mothers attention was diverted away from her kids because her mom focused more on not losing the man she loves.This made chupa chehra sad.Chupa chehra could not voice what she felt.They werent allowed to have friends it was her fathers way of protecting his kids.Chupa chehra rebelled at the age of thirteen,summer nights they would sneak outside to play with friends.They would watch out if dads car pulls in the drive way and sneak back indoors.Chupa chehra then decided to bunk school one day and did that turn out bad.She expected the sjambok,instead she got a suprise with the cord of the kettle and with that came the end of her school days.Chupa chehra regretted her mistake and pleaded with the family to send her ba...

Hi, firstly i would like to introduce myself. My name is Faheema Abrahams, I am a mother of four adult sons, divorced four years ago at age of fifty, after being married for thirty years and living a life of comfort. I would love to share my challenges with women that is going similar trials, with no experience of life outside my home, finding my way back into in the workplace or overcoming being ostracized  by family for my decision to divorce. My reason for divorce was that for the last ten years of my married life I was just breathing, no sense of purpose, no reason for getting out of bed. My kids were all adults and they did'n need me that much anymore. I wasn't allowed to work nor do any self improvement studies. Only thing i  was allowed to do was religious studies. The earth shattering event that changed the course of my life was seeing my son having a nervous breakdown, medically its called a pchycotic episode. My best friend, my confidant, the perfect child, t...

Good day my name is Kashiefa age 34.  having my own children made me c what a mothers gob is really about.  getting married was exiting..  being married  was very hard for me i tough that the abuse was never going to end.then i started with self love. meaning loving my self and standing up for myself.  getting divorce was the best thing that could have happened to me braking the chain off abuse. i really experience life like i never did before. but after all this I'm still standing strong. i always encourage my children no matter what u go true in like just makes u stronger .no matter what happens in life let it go. although its not always easy. and it doesn't matter were u come from, what  matter  is that, is were u heading  and were u going . it is also very sad to c how children and babies getting killed and how our future generation is killing themselves in gangsterism.. so what i realized is that example stars with me as a mother if I'm no...

Hi.This is Desiree Janeke here. A very enlightened person than i was a lot of years ago. I have discovered that i am a very angry and hurt and confused person,and because i knew deep in my heart that that is not what GOD`S intention and plan is for me(at least not according to the BIBLE)I went on this very personal journey of discovery.I have been to numerous courses looking for answers. I just knew i must be Happy.And i anted to be Happy. My whole being was yearning for it. I asked GOD to grant me the wisdom and understanding. Here goes, from the bits and pieces i gathered so far. It is all about LOVE!!!! LOVE is when we want the best for each and every pers irrespective of creed or colour or race.Living heaven here on earth and helping that person get to heaven in the next life.Accepting each other for who and what we are because we cannot change the other person because GOD created us all in a unique way. COMMUNICATE about the things that make us tick. We need to be able ...
