metro african ligkaribe

I’m a Bantu girl (likgaribe) of Setswana/ Sotho /Shona descent.. Having grown up in Bulawayo I also have a strong Ndebele heritage. Currently I live in Botswana but a part of me will always be Ndebele. I am of the Mmirwa tribe –, my totem is the Buffalo & just like the Buffalo I am very brave, protective, fierce and dangerous when provoked. I love learning about my African heritage, and that of other people, I believe if you stop learning as a person you might as well roll over and die.

a ligkaribe poem - "fish in the bowl"

There is a fish in the bowl
It is to be expected
Sometimes there is no fish
Expect the unexpected
It is not a fishbowl
“what is
is not,
what is not
is”

nothing is ever as it seems, we must not always expect that the world is in the exact coulers or shapes we imagine it is or even the ones that we see it in, it is not always to be as we expect or hope, we must be ready for anything, accept this anything equally at all times whatever it is, without surprise, shock, sadness, or disappointment. it is the process that counts not the outcome. We must observe and learn from the outcome. Inspired by my Zen.
