Dag 1 ~ Vroue-maand 2020
deur Surene Esterhuizen Op hierdie eerste dag van Vroue-maand wil ek hulde bring aan die eerste vrou in my lewe: my Moeksie. My ma was ’n streng ma, en ja, as kind het ek dit baie kere gehaat wanneer maats baie meer vryheid gehad het as ek. As ek dink aan die situasies waarin sommige Read More

Psalm 125 – God belowe!
deur Surene Esterhuizen Ek weet nie of ek langer nuus wil lees of Facebook groepe volg nie. Elke dag raak ek net meer moedeloos oor hoe die regering sekere dinge hanteer. SEB word toegepas in ‘n noodtoestand. Kos word weggehou van mense wat die nodig het om te oorleef. Besef die regering nie dat daar Read More

South Africa … 21 days lockdown
by Surene Esterhuizen Due to COVID-19 South Africa is in 21 days lockdown. I don’t want to go down that road of what you are allowed to do and what not, because every one can read and/or listen to the news.
