So long Baba Vuyo Mbuli…




Every morning Monday to Friday, in our house we put on the TV at 06H00 and watch morning live on SABC 2. Even though we don’t watch but the TV is on and we all expect to see both Leanne Manas and Vuyo Mbuli. It really is heart breaking waking up to hearing that one of your favourite news anchors has passed on. Vuyo Mbuli has been on our TV screens for as long as I can remember.
I’ll miss his goodbye link on morning live, “mintiro ya wena ya vhula vhula, sharp sharp!” I love hearing someone speak Xitsonga on a national platform because most of the time we are ignored.

Vuyo Mbuli was a man who was diverse in every way. His interviews were on point. His jokes were spot on. But Vuyo was the man. 
On the other hand, we get people who are so insensitive, Vuyo’s passing isn’t only about Morning Live and whether or not we watched the show or not, we all grew up knowing him. It’s like Nelson Mandela, some of us never met him but we know he exists. People should stop being insensitive. As much as Vuyo belonged to his family and friends, he also belongs to the nation. We invited him in our households every morning and he was part of the families, I know he was part of our family.

It’s true what you always said in your goodbye link, mintiro ya wena ya vhula vhula. Your actions spoke volumes that’s why; TODAY we are mourning your death Baba Vuyo.
I know morning Live and morning TV will never be the same again. 
You lived and died a Legend!

My favourite News Anchor, Viva the Legend. MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN PEACE!

Being a Law Student.



Miseducation of Lawyers
The professor of a contract law class asked one of his better students, "If you were to give someone an orange, how would you go about it?"
The student replied, "Here's an orange."
The professor was outraged. "No! No! Think like a lawyer!"
The student then replied, "Okay. I'd tell him `I hereby give and convey to you all and singular, my estate and interests, rights, claim, title, claim and advantages of and in, said orange, together with all its rind, juice, pulp, and seeds, and all rights and advantages with full power to bite, cut, freeze and otherwise eat, the same, or give the same away with and without the pulp, juice, rind and seeds, anything herein before or hereinafter or in any deed, or deeds, instruments of whatever nature or kind whatsoever to the contrary in anywise notwithstanding...'"

You Might Be A Law Student If:
You might be a law student if:
If you average 3 hours of sleep a night
If your trash is overflowing and your bank account isn't
If you go to Wal-Mart more than 3 times a week
If you are personally keeping the local pizza place from bankruptcy
If you wake up 10 minutes before class
If you wear the same jeans 13 days in a row -- without washing them
If your breakfast consists of a coke on the way to class
If your social life consists of a date with the library
If it takes a shovel to find the floor of your room
If you carry less than a dollar on your person
If you haven't done laundry in so long you are wearing your swim suit to class
If you celebrate when you find a quarter
If your room is so cold that your toilet freezes over
If you wear a sweat suit for so long that it stands up by itself
If your backpack is giving you Scoliosis
If you get more sleep in class than in your room
If your idea of feeding the poor is buying yourself some Ramen Noodles
If you can sleep through your roommate's blaring stereo
If you live in an area that is smaller than most mobile homes
If you get more e-mail than mail......
THEN YOU MIGHT BE A LAW STUDENT!!! .




Being a law student doesn't necessarily mean I have to be serious all the time and wear suits. At times one just wants to feel normal and the society at large should let us be. The time to wear suits and Heels will come but for now, please don't judge me, hahaha. If I wanna dress like a rasta and be called a "mickey mouse law student" by my lecturer let me be. It's okay to be made fun of, we don't have to be so sensitive all the time. 

Enjoy being a student and remember there is a time and place for everything. 


Desire success and growth but remember to have a sense of humor!
