MORNING UTTERANCES THE FIRST THING YOU SAY SHAPES YOUR DAY!

How can one say, just after working up, “Eish, I am tired!” And expect that the day will improve as it goes by. Obviously, this person’s day cannot be compared to the day of one who wakes up and as their feet touch the ground would say, “Thank you Lord” or even say full prayers for a protected and rewarding day.

According to Gladys Browyn Stern, Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. Some have even said that

Below are some sayings that have been written over the years on gratitude and our lives: Four horses cannot overtake the tongue.

– Chinese on gossip If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all. -- Aesop (c.620-560 BC) Words have no wings but they can fly a thousand miles. -- Korean on gossip Words once spoken can never be recalled.

-- Wentworth Dillon (c.1633-1685) Words spoken are like eggs broken. -Sheri Glewen

John Kendrick Bangs (1862-1922), "My Song" (October Twenty-sixth), The Cheery Way: A Bit of Verse For Every Day, 1920 put together the following inspiration: Whatever be the depth of woe Along the path that I must go, I'll sing my song— My song of joy for all the love That's lavished on us from above, And count no loss of treasure-trove When things go wrong.

I'll sing the sunlight, and the bright Soft smiling stars that gem the night; For gifts of good That God hath spread along my way, The lilt of birds in tuneful play, The harvests full and flowers gay, The whole day long I'll sing my song Of gratitude!

In essence, what all this says is that every morning as you wake up, you must develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.

I will leave you with these encouraging words from Terri Guillemets: With arms outstretched I thank.

With heart beating gratefully I love.

With body in health I jump for joy.

With spirit full I live.

Gratitude is the quality of being thankful and showing appreciation. It is a mindful acknowledgment of all that we have been given. When we focus on the abundance in our lives, we discover a greater capacity for generosity, cheerfulness, and contentment.

In fact, for those that have followed my column, in some time in 2012 I spoke about “Thank You” being all the prayer that you need to power up your day.

WhatApp Khanyisa Newspaper

feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.

Expressing gratitude is a rewarding habit that affirms the grace of the giver.

Gratitude opens our hearts, encourages us to savor each gift that comes our way, and magically frees us from jealously guarding our possessions. It lets us celebrate today rather than waiting for the next level of accomplishment or wealth. It is a reminder that one can always find reason to be glad.

KHANYISA WEEKLY

When you wake up first thing in the morning, the first comment that you make about yourself is the most crucial as to how your day will be! If you say something positive, your day will be bright and enjoyable. If you say something negative, your day will be dull, slow and boring.

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for Justice they will be satisfied.”

Human Rights, Justice, Peace Looking at the basic concepts and ideas of human rights.

In this issue we look at communith concerns and important quotes from the leaders.

There is not enough justice around for some people have plenty while others have practically nothing. Everyone has a right to live at a level that is in according with human dignity. This does not mean that everyone should be rewarded exactly the same amount.

Every person has the right to work and earn enough according to their performances to support himself/herself and his/her family in a decent way.

Government has a serious duty to promote social justice which brings peace. Social justice means that all people are equal before the law.

The same law for everyone, that all should be free to share in the cultural, political and economic life of the country. All should have a fair share in the economic resources of the country.

The following are a few of the Human Rights in the UN-Unitd Nations Declaration.

Every person has the right : to freedom of life, religion, job.

To possess property To work To a fair wage To have time to rest The lesson of the day:

-Injustice usually leads to discontent, -Discontent can lead to agitution and violence. -Violence destroys peace. -If we treat people fairly, we help to build a peace full society. -People want what is due to them. -If they get what is right fully theirs, they are happier and more contented.

In this way justice brings peace.

Speaking at a sod-turning ceremony in Masoyi outside Hazyview, to launch the construction of a 16km provincial road, Premier Mabuza said the provincial government would continue to deliver the services to the public until a new government was put in place after the general elections in May this year.

He said government was implementing its plans and would continue doing that until a new executive council came in.

“The people who are saying that are those who are contesting the elections.

With elections or not, we will continue to give services until the people choose another government.

“By the way who is supposed to deliver these services? Government work cannot stop; we were chosen and mandated by the people to serve them, and our term will only come to an end after the elections.

“When you exercise that right, do not forget where you come from. In the past we could not protest, many parents lost their children who died for protesting. Let us be responsible and respect other people's rights too.

“Do not give up on this government, keep going and remember that when you see too much darkness, the sun is about to rise.

We understand that our needs are vast and yet the resources are less,” he said.

The Premier further urged the councillors to constantly interact with the public as in most instances the people's concerns were genuine.

The new road will take the department of public works roads and transport at least 21 months to complete.

government of Gazankulu and a private companySmit Mitchel Organisation. The company later changed and transferred the agreement to Life Esidimeni (Pty) Ltd. In terms of the agreement between the parties, the landlord [government] set aside and allocated property at no cost to the tenant [company] for its exclusive use for the purpose of erecting a hospital. Further the tenant was to have the use of the hospital on completion of construction and installation of the equipment and

appliances for a period of 25 years.

After the dawn of democracy and new dispensation, a portion of former Gazankulu was later incorporated in Mpumalanga province in year 2006.

Consequently the provincial Department of Heath assumed the government jurisdiction of the agreement over the areas of the former government of Gazankulu and inherited all the rights and obligations.

In anticipation of a smooth hand-over of the contract, the department of health has developed a takeover plan

which includes setting aside an operational budget of R155 million for the hospital. The organisational structureof the facility has also been reviewed and aligned to other district hospitals' structures.

The Department of Health relies on the current Life Esidimeni personnel to be offered employment and continue rendering services as from the beginning of April next month. The employees will be offered jobs according to the Department of Health's conditions of employment.

The weather service has predicted that the skies in Mpumalanga will only clear up as from Friday and Saturday; communities on low lying areas and those in the flood linehave been warned to remain on high alert.

The executive council has further conveyed its condolences to the bereaved families.

The Mpumalanga Provincial Land Summit Cabinet approved the hosting of aMpumalangaProvincial Land Summit in June this year, in order to gather views to educate communities about latest policy developments.

T

he Summit is expected to educate communities on new land reform policy developments and progress made by government in addressing the land question in the country.

Inputs by relevant stakeholders will guide the province in the planning and the implementation of post settlement support programmes and guide the sector departments when drafting implementation plans.

The Mpumalanga Provincial Land Summit is planned and proposed to be held in Mbombela Local Municipality and the confirmed date will be communicated in due course.

MKHONDO ISIKO LIYINSIKA MUNICIPALITY RESPONDS A TO TRAGEDY Kubeyintokozo nenjabulo kumndeni ka Gugulezwe Khaba, ngamhla ekhuliswa ukuba abe yintombi.

UDaba ngu Khanyisa Khaba bangani nezihlobo zakwa Khaba zihlangene ndawonye uku zo halalisela uGugulezwe Khaba uma Emula.

The Municipality sincerely regrets the tragedy reported to you in the past week. Firstly, the Mkhondo Local Municipality would like to convey its deepest sympathy and condolences to the bereaved family of Mambane and relatives. In as much as the Municipality appreciates and acknowledges the progress made in terms of developing infrastructure in the Mkhondo rural communities, we nonetheless strongly condemn the failure of contractors in complying with safety rules and procedures that can result into either the injury or loss of life of innocent people.

The project referred to here is implemented by the Provincial Department of Human Settlements.

The appointed contractor terms of appointment is not within the Municipality's competence, but of the Provincial Department of Human Settlements. It is within that context that the Municipality advises that the Provincial Department of Human Settlements is better positioned to

respond as to how long the contractor should have taken to complete the project.

What we can confirm is that of the 300 toilets that are supposed to be constructed in the area, 108 of them have already been built. In the process of constructing the toilets, the Municipality normally advised the contractor to take precautionary measures to prevent any possible harm to members of the community.

All relevant parties were shocked after having learnt about the untimely death of the two-year old Innocent Mambane who allegedly drowned in one of the open holes during the recent heavy raining days.

Both theProvincial Department of Human Settlements and Municipality have since comforted and provided the family with the necessary support.

This includes all expenses related to the funeral service for the late Innocent Mambane. May his soul rest in peace.

ACES UNLUCKY TO DRAW Mpumalanga Black Aces had the better of the play, but had to settle for a 1-1 draw in their Absa Premiership clash with Platinum Stars at the Mbombela Stadium on Friday night.

M

idfielder Themba Zwane opened the scoring for the home side on the half-hour mark, but Stars hit back when Ofentse Nato scored into his own net as the teams went to the break level.

Black Aces made the better star as Zimbabwean striker Tendai Ndoro headed wide while Mabhuti Khenyeza saw his effort saved by visiting goalkeeper Siyabonga Mpontshane.

The home side had the better of the territory and possession but were finding it difficult to make their dominance in the opening half-hour count before Zwane netted.

He picked up the loose ball on the edge of the area and rifled the ball home for a fantastic finish.

Stars were not disheartened though and began to create chances themselves, finally pulling themselves level on 41 minutes when Nato turned the ball into his own net under little pressure.

Mabokwane had to react smartly to deny Tintswalo Tshabalala from a free-kick in what was a less frenetic second half. Abia Nale had a good

Human Rights Day What are human rights?

Human rights are rights that everyone should have simply because they are humans, but human rights are also a product of historical and social situations. In 1948, the United Nations defined 30 articles of human rights in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The United Nations succeeded the League of Nations, and the Universal Declaration is one of its crucial platforms. It founds universal human rights on the basis of freedom, justice, and peace.

South Africa supports the Universal Declaration, and we have included many of its precepts in our own Bill of Rights, Chapter 2 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996.

The articles of our Constitution can only be changed by a two-thirds majority in Parliament, which means it is difficult for anyone, including the government, to take away the basic rights of a citizen.

Just as the Constitution is our supreme law, and no laws may be passed that go against it, the Bill of Rights is the cornerstone of democracy in South Africa. The Bill of Rights also comprehensively addresses South Africa's history of colonialism, slavery and apartheid. The Bill of Rights embeds the rights of all people in our country in an enduring affirmation of the democratic values of human dignity, equality and freedom.

Human Rights Day, 21 March Human Rights Day in South Africa is linked with 21 March 1960, and the events of Sharpeville. On that day 69 people died and 180 were wounded when police fired on a peaceful crowd that had gathered to protest against the Pass laws. It was more than a protest against the Pass Laws of the apartheid regime. It was an affirmation by common people, rising in unison to proclaim their rights, and it became an iconic date in our country's troubled history.

Apartheid policies In 1948 the Nationalist Party came to power in South Africa and began to formalise segregation in a succession of laws that gave the government control over the movement of Black people in urban areas. The Native Laws Amendment Act of 1952 narrowed the

definition of Blacks with permanent residence in towns and cities. Legally, no Black person could leave a rural area for an urban one without a permit from the local authorities, and on arrival in an urban area, the person had to obtain a permit within 72 hours to seek work. The Reference Book, or Pass, included a photograph, details of place of origin, employment record, tax payments, and encounters with the police. It was a criminal offence to be unable to produce a Reference Book when required to do so by the police, and Black men in particular had to carry identification with them at all times.

In 1956 women of all races protested against Pass law requirements, when 20 000 women of all races marched to Pretoria.

Anti-Pass law campaign The Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) proposed an anti-Pass campaign to begin on 21 March 1960. Black men were to gather at Sharpeville without their reference books and present themselves for arrest.

The order was given to disperse, after which the Police opened fire with sharp-point ammunition on the crowd of men, women and children. Following the Sharpeville massacre, a number of black political movements were banned by the Nationalist government, and the resistance movement went underground.

Modern era When African National Congress was democratically elected to government, with Nelson Mandela as its leader, 21st March was instituted as the South Africa Human Rights Day and included in the list of national holidays of democratic South Africa.

On Human Rights Day, South Africans are asked to reflect on their rights and how to protect themselves against violations.

Human Rights Day reminds us of the suffering and loss of life that accompanied the most recent struggle for human rights in South Africa, but it also highlights the slavery of the Colonial era.

It is why we must also ensure that modern forms of slavery such as human trafficking and forced labour are addressed and eradicated.

What are your rights?

In terms of the Bill of Rights everyone has a right to life, equality and human dignity. All persons have a right to citizenship and security. Persons and groups are entitled to freedom of assembly, association, belief and opinion, and expression. They have the right to demonstrate, picket and petition; everyone has the right to be free of forced labour, servitude and slavery. All persons have a right to privacy and to exercise political rights; all have a right to access to information and just administration action. They have rights when arrested, detained and accused, and must have access to courts.

Protected rights include a healthy environment; housing, health care, food, water and social security. All have a right to freedom of movement and residence and of trade, occupation and profession. In the workplace everyone has a right to engage in trade unions and labour movements. Anyone has the right to purchase property anywhere, and to a basic education.

They have a right to language and culture and communities; and not least, freedom of religion and belief. The Bill of Rights also specifies the rights of persons belonging to cultural, religious or linguistic communities and the rights of children. In addition, there are specific laws to safeguard women and protect children.

Parliament's Role in Human Rights Day Parliament is guided by the values and principles of the Constitution. Parliament's annual theme for 2011, which embraces these values, is “Celebrating the legacy of freedom through strengthening the link between Parliament and the People”. The tasks of Parliament are to empower the people and get civil society involved in the activities its processes, representing and acting as a voice of the people, as well as fulfilling its Constitutional functions of passing laws and overseeing executive action. Parliament must ensure that democratic processes become well-known and that they reach all citizens of the country.

Visiting Parliament We are proud to invite local and international visitors to our Parliament, the receptacle and guardian of the legacy of human rights in South Africa. The Public Education Office offers free tours of Parliament, as well as an opportunity for the public to observe debates from the galleries in the National Assembly and National Council of Provinces. Visitors can also arrange meetings with a Member of Parliament and attend Public Hearings or Committee meetings.

Well Done bafana beStayela!!!

A BRAZIL RUN RIOT AGAINST BAFANA This year's 2014 World Cup hosts, Brazil, set the tone for the upcoming event when they proved too strong for South Africa in their international friendly match at FNB Stadium on Wednesday evening, claiming a 5-0 win in Johannesburg.

By: Sporting Regards, Brian Lee scar set the tone of Brazilian dominance from as early as the tenth minute, when he burst into the box and broke the deadlock, before Neymar bagged three goals for himself to complete an impressive win.

The fixture marked the passing over of South Africa's host nation duties from the 2010 World Cup to the new World Cup hosts, Brazil.

O

Bafana Bafana head coach Gordon Igesund was able to call-up some of his strongest players, but had to make do without the services of their revered captain Itumeleng Khune due to injury.

Mamelodi Sundowns defender Thabo Nthethe stepped up to take the responsibility of leading the nation, while the likes of international based players Daylon Claasen and Dean Furman were in the lineup.

The hosts were taking a rather cautious approach to their game, while Brazil, who were playing their last match before the final World Cup squad is announced, came out looking to exploit the far from convincing Bafana backline.

Hulk tried to pick out Fred in the sixth minute, but the striker couldn't direct a shot on target and it took a deflection to roll out at the near post. The five times Champions took the lead in the 10th minute when Hulk cut open the defence with his pass on the right hand side, with Oscar there to coolly chip it past the debuting Ronwen Williams in goal.

South Africa were then handed another blow nine minutes later, when their former captain Bongani Khumalo was stretchered off and replaced by Siyanda Xulu.

That change seemed to spur Bafana Bafana into life as they tried to unlock the Brazil defence, with midfielder Thulani Serero barely testing Julio Cesar with a long ball from the left-flank. It was so nearly 2-0 on the half hour when Neymar made his way through the opposition defence and tried to lob Williams. The goalkeeper had rushed off his line and, much to his relief, saw the ball strike his back and go out for a corner.

But Neymar did double the Selecao's lead when he picked up the ball on the edge of the box five minutes from the break. The Barcelona man ran a few paces forward before unleashing a shot which went through the legs of Williams.

Bafana's best chance of the game came just before the interval when Furman struck a low ball from 20-yards only to see it whisker just wide of Julio Cesar's goal. The two teams weren't even out on the

field for 40 seconds at the restart when Neymar secured his brace on the evening.

Fred supplied a great ball which saw him beat the offside trap and delicately chip over Williams' head for 3-0. Ayanda Patosi came on in place of Bernard Parker and he nearly made it 3-1 with his first touch of the ball. Serero turned on the ball and fed through an effort to the Lokeren man, who then struck a great effort at goal only to see it saved by the gloves of a Julio Cesar.

The whitewash was complete with two goals in the last ten minutes.

The first came when Williams could only but watch as Manchester City's Fernandinho fired an unstoppable effort from 30yards into the top left corner.

And the record defeat arrived in the final moments when Neymar tapped in a nodded in cross from his teammate to make it 5-0.
