IN THE LINE OF DUTY (In the memory of Cst. J.T. NKOSI)

Was it a grudge?
or maybe a trap?
But why him?
A role model in the making
forced to decline
But how?

Why did he have to die?
Was it all worth his life?
His name was Justice
Has justice been done
but why him?

In the line of duty, he lost his life.
His privilledge to live.
I personally lost a hero
The question stands unanswered: has justice been done?

In the line of duty, I lost a friend, a neighbor and a role model.
but still I ask: Why him?

Where is the future?

If we legalize abortion,
if we legalize prostitution,

Where is the future of Africa?
we still have racism.

Our Cruelty

The abuse of power give rise to the abuse of rights.
Women over men
it's a One- One situation
South Africa why?

Men are regarded as wild creatures
Women are said to be the vulnurable spieces
We are facing an Injustice
What about our rights?

What is important: the right or the responsibility?
I think it's not cruelty, it's claiming our justice.

Men are abused but are ignored by the authorities
They say all equal before the law but women are greater
Where is the equality?

My beautiful African women please exercise your rights while practising your responsibilities
And we won't be cruel..
