I The African Child Part 2; Mogote Wa Poko

With every "Tsala Dumela" to every "Gompieno" you know for sure that you are about to be encouraged with some setswana poetry. The art of words, creativity and a passion for healing people with words has become one of the things most young people seek when they hop on to social media and good bet because we actually have those young people who are doing exactly that.

Mogote Wa Poko the well known setswana poet is here to take the world by storm with his traditional poetry that is making waves all over South Africa. Most young people would think as a poet the best language to use is English as it is a universal langauge, one of the most understood and maybe because our African languages aren't really ideal especially if one's craft is going to be their career as well.


Mogote took the country by storm as he started performing his work of art by using his home language, he moved from being a community poet to being the most recognized on social media. Tick Tok the fasted growing social media platform came about in the right time as it assisted Mogote to grow his audience. Ideally as a millenial looking at today's trends I wouldn't have thought that one day I would be scrolling on my social media platforms and I would find a setswana poet trending better yet I didn't even think it would be a career having a young person embracing and putting their culture and tradition first.


Mogote is flying the flag high. His recently collaborated with local artists to release amazing projects. His collaboration with Nonhlanhla got most Tick Tok(ers) singing along but he got couples going crazy with his song khethiwe (which means chosen) featuring Dubelesh. 


A force to be reckoned with, our roots are not lost we still have young people flying the flag high. We'll still have praise poet's in the next coming generations and we'll still have great collaborations if only we would work hand in hand with other artists irregardless of their crafts. Together we stand divided we fall.

Why do I crave a relationship so badly? This is a question that many people ask themselves, especially if they have been single for a long time or have experienced repeated rejections or breakups. It is natural to want to share your life with someone who loves you, supports you, and makes you happy. But sometimes, this desire can become so intense that it causes you to feel anxious, depressed, or desperate.

How can I grow my connection with God?

Image
One of the most important aspects of growing closer to God is learning how to communicate with Him. But sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference between your own thoughts, God's voice and the enemy's voice. I used to think that God's voice was always loud and stern, telling me to stop sinning and do better. But as I spent more time with Him, I realized that His voice is actually gentle and comforting, His voice fills me with peace, joy and confidence, while the enemy's voice tries to distract me, make me doubt and confuse me. And my own voice is often stuck in the middle, wondering "Is this really God? God, if this is you, give me another sign". The Bible says in Psalm 145:18, "The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." And in Matthew 6:33, it says "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Here are some tips to help you strengthen your relat

How do I stop being so available?

Being too available in relationships can be a sign of low self-esteem, fear of abandonment, or lack of boundaries. It can also lead to resentment, boredom, or loss of attraction from your partner. If you want to stop being so available and create more balance and harmony in your relationship, here are some tips to help you: - Recognize your own worth and value. You are not defined by your relationship or your partner's approval. You have your own interests, passions, and goals that make you a unique and interesting person. Remind yourself of your strengths and achievements, and celebrate them. - Set healthy boundaries and respect them. Boundaries are the limits you set for yourself and others on what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. They help you protect your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Communicate your boundaries clearly and assertively to your partner, and don't let them cross them. Likewise, respect your partner's boundaries and don't try t
