Kwangisiza kakhulu ukufunda izincwadi ezibhalelwe ukukhuthaza ngempilo nezifundisana ngesimilo nokuziphatha kwabantu (human behaviour) ukwazi ukuthi Abantu bacabanga kanjani futhi yini eyenza bacange kanjalo...kwanginika ukuzethembha ekuphileni nesici Sami sokuba wumuntu okhubazekile...ngafunda ukuthi umuntu ongibukela phansi noma ongicwasayo ngoba ngine disability kahle kahle uyena isilima esiphindaphindiwe..

Ungamubeka kanjani umuntu icala ngesimo angazicelelanga sona futhi esingaphezu kwamandla akhe...kusho ukuthi uyena ongakwazi ukucabanga ngendlela ephusile...manje ngeke ngichithe iskhathi Sami worrying about people abangaphiwanga ukucabanga ngendlela ephusile..baningi bona uhlangana Nabo everywhere,abanye bezenza osomahlaya ababhedayo
uzwe umuntu omdala esho into ekwehlisa isithunzi as a person with a Disability and think he is being funny😳👀

Mina nginebhadi lokubuzwa ukuthi isavuka yini induku😅😅ngibuzwa amanye amadoda👀 ngixakwe ukuthi lomlisa mumbhe why abene interest ekuvukeni nokungavuki kwenduku Yami😅but like I said umuntu usuke ecabanga ukuthi unamahlaya noma uchaza Abantu abamulalele😳Kanti mina sengibona isidomu...😱.angiyiphenduli imibuzo enjalo...ngoba ngisuke ngizosho into engenza umuntu azisole ukuthi wazalelwani😅😅but sengathambha as I get older..sengivese ngiyizibe leyonkulumo with a smile😅😅

Unfortunately most people look down upon people with disabilities,even those who buy face👀😱😳but behind your back they say nasty things...people need to seriously deal with their mindset and eradicate the stereotype mind thinking..because u become a stereotype by default or influence of the society or a community ozalelwa kuyona...

Even some of my family members still use derogatory words to refer to people with disabilties,sengakhuluma ngaze ngancama but those are words that come to mouth spontaneously and the person will realise eseshilo ukuthi "hawu kanti indoda yakhe iyisinqekle" noma "iyisidalwa" most People abazihluphi ukufunda amagama asemukelekile,they just don't care,it doesn't affect them.😳👀😱😳

Cheers!..👊✊
Angilwi bengithi angisike elijikayo😅😅
Hey ngoba Nani😳ninjani maninje ngempela ngempela😅😅

Even though I've lived with a disabilty for over 30 years but I've come to realise that I could never be qualified to speak on behalf of every person who has a disability...Our experiences vary and differs so much...it's impossible to represent each and every experience around disability issues...but we share the same hardships, prejudices, injustices, discriminations and all that Bulsh*t..but our disability experiences are way way different for many reasons,I cannot explain in one single post..

But I'm grateful to have taken a decision a few yrs back, to associate myself with other people with disabilities in chat groups and other social media groups in order to engage,argue and fight over certain issues that concern us.. like I always argue over the use of the word "normal" when they use it to differentiate themselves to people without disabilities,I thought they were looking down upon themselves but I've since realised that some use it unconsciously as a spoken word, without attaching a meaning of normal vs abnormal..so I have lost the battle and accepted that it is what it is..😅😅😅 somehow they grew up whereby the word was used carelessly without a thought and it stuck with them,i accept that for better or for worse..

I have also came to realise the desperation and the fears that stem from seeing life pass-u-by like u don't exist..it's complicated, but i also understand the territory we live in as people with disabilities it's difficult and there has been no attention nor assistance given to help tread this difficult terrain and it saddens me a lot that such a large part of our country's population (2 million + people)have been relegated to charity and left to grow old at home without being assisted to be productive members of the society when they actually have so much brains, talent and learning capabilities to offer the country but they are just pushed to the back of the production line and regarded as useless unproductive charity cases...but I hope some day we will have a government/leadership who will not required people with disabilities to be activists in order to be heard.

Pictures from a Stageplay titled "A Plague of Heroes" written by Vusi Mazibuko in 2009 based on his true personal life experiences, before and after he acquired a disabilty in 1994 as a result of a gunshot abdomen which rendered him semi-paraplegic (crutches)

Actor Thami Mbongo (Cape Town) delivered an astonishing performance as Vusi in this one-hander (one-man play) He narrates Vusi's lifestory meticulously, showing his well polished acting abilities as a reknowned thespian with years of experience in the field. Produced by Mopo Productions (Cape Town) and Directed by Mr. Maurice Podbrey (Canada)

The play performed at Baxter Theatre during Ikhwezi festival 2010 and won best new comer, called back due to popular demand after the festival, performed at Durban Playhouse 2010, won best one hander at Durban Mercury Theatre awards and ended its run at The Grahamstown Arts festival 2011.

Media review:
IOL News Article by Latoya Newman. Published in April 15, 2011.

"I would argue that a play such as; A Plague of Heroes; should somehow be incorporated into school syllabus. Young people, from disadvantaged communities in particular, need to see this offering. But that said the lure of crime knows no boundaries, so all young people who are involved in crime or who have even given it a thought, need to see this play"

Appreciate those who love you — Love is easy to take for granted precisely because it's steady. The people who show up for you consistently rarely get thanked for it, while dramatic gestures get all the attention. This line asks you to notice the quiet, reliable kind.

Help those who need you — This flips the usual question from "what can I get" to "what can I give." Being needed and responding to that is one of the more direct ways relationships build real trust.

Forgive those who hurt you — This one's often misread as "let people treat you badly." It's not that. It's about not carrying resentment as a permanent weight. Holding onto anger mostly hurts the person doing the holding — the other person may not even think about it anymore.

Forget those who leave you — The hardest one. Not literal amnesia, more like: stop replaying the loss on repeat. Some people exit your life, and continuing to organize your emotions around their absence keeps you stuck facing backward instead of forward. The good stuff in relationships is usually the unglamorous, consistent kind, not the intense kind.

"Appreciate," "help," and "forgive" ask you to keep engaging with people. "Forget" asks you to disengage. Together they're really describing the same skill — being deliberate about where your attention goes, rather than letting either guilt or grief make the choice for you.

Forgiveness is less about the other person and more about your own peace of mind.

Anger has a cost. Chronic resentment keeps your body in a stress response — elevated cortisol, tension, rumination — long after the original event is over. The person who hurt you often isn't thinking about it at all; you're the one still carrying it.

Waiting for an apology gives someone else control. If your peace depends on them feeling sorry, they're still setting the terms of your emotional life. Forgiveness (in this sense) is taking that control back for yourself.

Forgiveness isn't the same as excusing or reconciling. You can forgive someone and still keep firm boundaries, choose not to trust them again, or never speak to them.

The "release" is internal — letting go of the grip the anger has on you — not a statement that what happened was okay.
It's a process, not a switch. For real hurts, this isn't instant or one-and-done. It can take time, and revisiting the decision to let go is normal.

Healthy forgiveness is something the hurt person chooses for their own reasons and on their own timeline — not something owed to anyone.
