Another year and I’m still here. I miss my mum. She would have been the first call, saying how proud she is of me, and how she prayed for me this morning. Thank you mum for shaping the woman I’ve become, and for choosing to give me life all those years ago. ♥️ Happy bday me.

After facing the prospect of death hooked up to oxygen with vitals that just wouldn't stabilise, I'm grateful for life. I salute the brave staff at Milpark Hospital and the lady in the opposite bed who prayed for me when I wept with anxiety. Thank you. #Covid19SA Please be safe.

We give our children everything we did not have. The only trouble is that we deprive them of the lessons taught by not having. Delayed gratification. An appreciation for things. The value of money. The reward of getting something after having worked hard for it. @Powerfm987.

Needed time to drink this one in. My debut book #BecomingIman is in stores tomorrow! I feel like I'm dreaming. I would be invisible without the encouragement of family, listeners, viewers and readers over the years. You make this girl's heart happy. @Powerfm987

Horses can actually see nearly full circle around themselves. They wear blinkers during racing to stop them being distracted or panicking. As you run your race, put blinkers on, stay focused, forget the vain, noisy displays of others and giddy up towards your prize! @Powerfm987.

There are few people who make an impression on me. But today Thoriso Themane's father did. He taught me the meaning of grace under fire, elegance of spirit and intestinal fortitude in the geography of brokenness. This young man's death must not be in vain. 💔 #JusticeforThoriso.

Fam this is my mantra for myself today, perhaps it may be for you too. Say after me ‘Today I make a fresh commitment to the person I want to become. It may not be easy, I may find it extremely difficult to break my paralysing patterns, but I will make a start’. @Powerfm987 👣👣.
