This I describe as the best day of my life, i have heard people talk of durban's finest food and climate but never really pictured it this good.as I entered this gorgeous city of durban the only thing that was in my mind was the 2010 world cup stadium which i've only seen on television, well i dont know what im about to see. day 1 As the sunsets one can already feel the sun rays from the side of the comfortable and luxurious bed in the riverside hotel, this hotel as the name states is situated on the river banks of umngeni river and my room had a nice view of the river and almost the whole of the urban profile, the Moses Mabhida is actually a few minutes drive from the hotel and you ... read more

Kwazulu-Natal is big and attractive and whenevr a person thinks of the province they can't help but associate it with the best beaches and ocean views, this province has a long coast which i dare to travel in just a few days. day2 An hour and a half drive to the wildcoast casino which is situated on the entry border of the Eastern cape coming from Kwazulu-Natal, situated not far from the rural homesteads of the Mpondomise people this Casino can not be compared to anything i have seen before. the slot machines are amazing and I almost forgot when to stop gambling, a golf cause next to the Umtamvuna river is a scenery from a distance away, as one have heard golf is only for the presidency well i took my own shot and scored ... read more

flying from the Ushaka internatinal airport was amazing but the landing in cape town was something out of this world. I've always dream about visiting the robben island,a boat ride to that beautiful island was peaceful and the city looks amazing from the island, writting too much will only be a big bore my pictures states all of the activities in that island on its own. Mandela himself has walked on this premises. visiting the V & A front i saw a lot of things i did not know about cape town, the jewellery, the markets around all types of tourist buys are available. this really was a life time opportunity... read more

For this blog I don’t know where to start my friends. I hate to leave some things out but alas sometimes I have to. I shall start upon my golfing adventure with my dear friend and fellow volunteer Dudley. The previous night we had spent a long night at the Komga Club, a famous spot in Komga known for its prolific braai (barbecue) as well as its occasional late nights of “celebration.” Lucky for us our night was quite a “celebration” as Anne, Dudley and I did not arrive home until about midnight which for us is quite a night. Sunday was a typical morning, waking up at about 8 am to eat scones and prepare for church. After church, Anne, Margaret, Jeff and Suzanne went off to the beach for lunch while Dudley and I ... read more

We left bright and early on a very cold morning when we were headed to Johannesburg in Alberton to my best friends traditional ceremony called "Umemulo" (where when a girl is 21 years or older, a ritual is done and a cow is slaughtered in her presents and a piece of skin of the cow from the leg is cut and put on the girl's right hand and it is called "Isiphandla"). When we got there we had to get ready real quick for the grand entrance of the singing and dancing for the people that were there for my friend Mbali and we were her peers dressedin traditional beaded skirts and vests and "ubuhlalo" (beaded jewellery). The elders came to us throwing money on the floor and attaching on Mbali's hat she had on than ... read more
