HERE FAMILY VARIABLES DETERMINE YOUR CAREER'S ARCHITECTURE



Why should I blame the world for my poor background? NO ways but current situations have taught me best lessons that family background shall always play a part in crafting one's future. Imagine my surname is Mohammed and i was born of a broken family of half Islander from the Indian Ocean/ Swazi and it is so unfortunate that i am living in a society which ensures that common bloodlines benefit heftily on scholarships, civil service placements, foreign attachment etc...

The current situation has seen some of the locals being exploited because of their rich experience at certain crafts and by the time they expect to receive accolades they are just overlooked ahead of those with those of colored bloodlines.

I am not even ashamed to explain that in our society these family variables influence the youth's future.: these variables include family structure (utalwa ngubani yemfokati), family tree educational history, parents past relationship with government, family structure. It of great importance that as we foster towards a new government in the Kingdom of Eswatini to offset the effects of the imbalance which is subjecting to the country's citizenry to grumble on the civil service operation and corruption.

I just wish one can openly disagree that in our society better -educated parents are more likely to consider the quality of government schools when selecting the neighbourhood in which they plan to live in. These are same 'highly educated' parents who would also be in the case of scrutinising the respective teachers credentials and always encourage the teachers to attend to their children's individual needs.
These parents from the surbubs always make time to read for their children whilst our children in the townships rather complain of wasting electricity units, or candle wasting when the children are studying. suburban enhance their children's development.

On the other side of the coin even family income in the Eswatini society has direct impact on our children's academic outcomes. I have had first hand experience from the township that our parents did not have time to check our homeworks, accompany us to open day sessions or being helped to plan for university or college. Working a lowly paying jobs, after work alcohol abuse cannot yield any family dinner gatherings. I am not saying that children from richer families are more successful than those from low income backgrounds.
We have measurable cases in the capital city where a majority of children who stayed in the then surbubs ' Eveni' which we once regarded as the area for the capital city's rich and famous t could not make it at to the mid management level wherever they were employed. Was this because they had enough and never took their jobs or education seriously? Were they not used to being servants in the workplace?

One reading here may argue that the independent effects of family education and family income as difficult.

Lastly i would like to raise the issue of having 'blue bloodied' children competing for jobs with children of unknown family backgrounds. This has definitely been the cause of under delivery of services especially in the civil service. ...let me live it at this end as i might touch the hornets nest on this one..

have a safe and lovely weekend

THE MOTHER OF THE SWAZI NATION

CELEBRATING LIFE OF OUR POWERFUL MOTHER OF THE NATION “It is always been my dream as Mother of the Nation, to uplift the living standard of our people . Women in the rural areas, have to a large extent, been left behind and uit has been a lifelong desire to improve their lives. As a nation , we should   all put our heads together , move forward and sustain the peaceful conditions and security of purpose that we have enjoyed over the years. Peace is a rare commodity which should be guarded jealously by all. I cannot over emphasise the fact that culture remains our true identity as a nation and it is through such identity as a nation, and it is through such identity that we are a model of what Africa originally was. At the same time, we embody the dynamism of the true African identity as we adapt to the various changes of our time. This is our country, the one and only that we have.” Wise words by Her Majesty Indlovukazi (quote from 40 th National Double Celebrations Maga...

ESWATINI PRIMARY ELECTIONS- HOPING WE MADE THE RIGHT DECISION

Image
The country is fresh from conducting successful elections. Umkhaya, friend, former teacher , former soccer-mate emerged a victor and I wasn’t surprised when I saw a lot of the forgetting people grabbing the seam of his shirt. Based on my initial sentiments, I proposed that the people of Msunduza elect Harries Madze Bulunga not because we share a couple of medals on the bench of our beloved Umbelebele Football Club BUT BECAUSE I KNEW THAT HE KNOWS Mbabane East like the back of his light skinned hands. He was born and raised in the Msunduza Township and has been a teacher in the area for over two decades. The reasoning behind his nomination was nothing which was motivated by bribing the community with crates of cold beer and food but he relied on the trust of the people from the area. This is a lesson to his competitors and losers is that the reason they lost is because they made such a choice. Being a person who has been a victim of urban poverty myself, record shows that r...

GOLD MINE (LUFAFA) RE-OPENS AS WE EVADE ANOTHER EGG ON THE FACE

Image
It was just another lazy Sunday morning where I learnt with excitement that Lufafa Mine in the Northern Hhohho region has re-opened for operations. One thing that struck my interest was nothing other than the fact that it was closed down recently following mismanagement on the operations. I don’t care what such a comment means but it is of interests of how much gold deposits found its feet following the ailing mismanagement of the country’s prized mineral. It is not only the people responsible for the mining who need to be worried of such issues , but even us the ordinary citizens who always have the legitimate expectation of getting employment on local mines rather than the Gupta polluted zones. As we welcome the mine’s operations let us hope the country’s environmental authority has issued a proper certification towards the operation of the mine. There are neighbouring homesteads who rely on the water source from the Lufafa mountains because in a s far as I remember there has...
