Happy Feed

Tranquility

I am a single, quiet note played in the midst of a violent, crashing chord. A flickering candle flame, holding its tiny, steady light in the very center of a hurricane

Being happy

Academic validation, successful relationships, and general good health are the most important things that make me happy. This is why I cherish and nurture these in myself so that life can serve me these best. I love the smell of flowers or gardening with my grandma in her new little garden. Thank you.

Phodiso means Healing

Even though it seems like everything is tough and not doable all the time. I surprise myself daily, weekly and monthly by completing all my given tasks. The joy of others brought by me brings me even when I am at my lowest, brings me hope that someone will also bring me joy. My name […]

Aa!

As I look at this picture I think about how easy it is to forget who you are and where you come from when you’re away from home. Thanks to this traditional attire that was passed down to me, I get to carry my home and my people with me. Carrying my Venda heritage with […]

RESILIENCE OVER EVERYTHING

The is nothing that beats seeing a luminous future in your present situation which does not!. This was one of my first days in uni, lost and trying to understand the way the environment works. The content was too much for me and I had no friends. Positivity which resides in me kept me standing, […]

Give him glory

Firm believer that I’m called on this earth to serve others and doing that continues to give glory to my Heavenly Father. Truly brings me joy

Ukokha

In the midst of chaos and during the bitter tribulations of life. When the body feels tired, weary, and all hope is lost, God is still faithful. This was me in matric, frustrated, anxious, and alone. I wish I could go back and kiss her, tell her that life gets better and she becomes stronger. […]

It gets better

“The mind is a battlefield”, it’s only recent that I fully comprehended this quote. A reminder to consistently nurture the brain. A healthy mind, is a mentally, emotionally and psychologically healthy me. Stay connected with people.

This is me

My story is still being written, and I’m eager to see what the future holds. Every day is a chance to start afresh, to chase my dreams and to make them a reality.

Ubudoda (Manhood)

I went the mountain, as a boy in the eyes of men To learn the way, to break and amend I returned home with a blanket A symbol of bravery for taking a journey now I am a man with truth as my guide

Shine

Don’t compare yourself to others. Be like the sun and the moon and shine when it’s your time.

Joy in the Little Moments

Happiness isn’t always loud, sometimes…… it’s found in quiet smiles, warm light, and being present in the moment. This photo captures the kind of joy that doesn’t need explaining, just a feeling.

Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital

Being in theatre seeing all the kids getting life saving surgery brings warmth to my heart, especially knowing that, a couple of decades ago some surgical procedures were not possible and sadly patients demised. It’s also heart warming seeing doctors and nurses who have devoted their lives to this field and do it with passion…playing […]

MAMA, I MADE IT!

I am so grateful that my mom witnessed the biggest event of my life. A single mom who sacrificed so much for me and my sisters and never had the opportunity to go to university herself, but she made it possible for me. When she stepped onto UCT campus this year, she said ” Fundisa […]

YOUR LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS

As the sun rises and slowly descends into the set on the lives of those that have seen so much in this lifetime. Father/Mother time has shown that your life is in your hands. That is, hands tell a tale that is visible to the naked eyes of life’s journeys passed bye -n – bye. […]

Staying focused on that which is most important to our life’s progress gives purpose to one’s existence. Focusing on our purpose makes […]

Yes I Can And I Will

In a field where less than 5% are Black, I choose to believe in my success — no matter the odds. I honour those who came before me and create space for those who will follow.

Still I Rise

In silence, I gather strength. In darkness, I hold on to light. This is me — carrying legacy, healing quietly, and standing tall even when I’m seated.

Direction

This picture symbolizes moments of defining and development for me. It was taken at a time when I was beginning a new venture. Filled with hope, passion and promise, I am learning what it is to build a life and career that my soul can handle and be fulfilled in.

Finding my people.

The difference friendship makes is everything. I am a very introvert person, but finding friends that I could share loud laughs made me reveal my happy confident side. THIS SMILE,IT’S REAL. Friends I now call family.

Living not just surviving

This being my 6th semester I can safely say I’m alive and I’m not just surviving through this institution. It took a lot to get here and I didn’t have any hope whatsoever but I guess there really is light of sort at the end of the tunnel

Giving love

Just be kind. People are going through alot everyday. My contribution to the society is spreading love and a couple air kisses to strangers going through it. Take care.
