STILL LEARNING

Don’t read my post and think I got it all together. I don’t think i’m holier than anyone, or better than anyone, or smarter, or wiser, or more successful. I don’t got all together and i’m not all that. I’m far from it. I’m still struggling, I’m not rich, I don’t have the best relationships with people, friends, or my family, but i’m working on that. I’m not perfect and i don’t know it all or got my life all together. I’m still learning, fighting, growing, seeking, and studying the word of God so His glory shines through my growth. I’m learning to be a better Man of God, so i can be a Godly Husband, have a spiritually home, with a Virtuous wife, a heaven made family, and living a godly life fit for King. So i’m growing and learning each day to be more like Jesus, to get the life He has planned for me. I don’t chase blessings. I chase God and his blessings chase me.

THE FIRST DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT

Black South African political leader, whose long imprisonment made him an international symbol of the struggle against apartheid. He became president of South Africa (1994–1999) following the country’s first multiracial elections. In 1993 he shared the Nobel Peace Prize with F. W. de Klerk.

Mandela was born in Transkei, the son of a tribal chief. After attending university in Johannesburg he practised as a lawyer, setting up the country’s first black legal practice. An activist in the African National Congress (ANC) from his twenties, he responded to the banning of the organization in 1960 by inciting a wave of strikes; when nonviolent means made little impact, he formed the Spear of the Nation movement to undertake a campaign of sabotage and guerrilla activity. Mandela evaded arrest until 1962, when he received a five-year sentence for incitement; in 1964 this became a life sentence, following a second trial at which he was found guilty of sabotage and treason.

Mandela spent the first part of his sentence on Robben Island, a notorious high-security prison. A campaign for his release was spearheaded by his second wife, Winnie Mandela (1934–), whom he had married in 1958; she became a political figure in her own right, suffering imprisonment (1969–70) and harassment at the hands of the authorities. By the late 1970s he had become an internationally famous figure, showered with honours and tributes from sympathizers worldwide. His refusal to gain his own freedom by making a political deal with his captors had by this time invested him with an almost mythical status in the eyes of many black South Africans. In 1988 his seventieth birthday was marked by renewed calls for his release and much international publicity; later that year he was moved to more comfortable quarters.

Mandela was finally released in 1990, on the intervention of the new state president, F. W. de Klerk. He immediately engaged in talks about the country’s future with de Klerk and other government figures and travelled widely to argue the case for continued international pressure on South Africa. In 1993 a transitional constitution extending the vote to all racial groups was adopted and the following year Mandela was overwhelmingly elected as his country’s president, at the age of seventy-six. In this role he has fostered a mood of national reconciliation at home while also playing a prominent part on the world stage as a respected elder statesman. Since December 1997, when he handed over the presidency of the ANC to Thabo Mbeki (1942–), his role has been chiefly a ceremonial one.

The triumphs of Mandela’s old age have, however, been marred by the persistent controversy surrounding Winnie Mandela. In 1991, not long after his release from prison, she was found guilty of the kidnapping of a teenage boy who was then murdered by her bodyguards. Following further scandals, including an alleged adulterous affair, she separated from Nelson Mandela in 1992 and was divorced by him in 1996. Subsequent allegations have linked her to a series of murders and violent crimes during the last years of apartheid. In 1998, on his eightieth birthday, Nelson Mandela married his fifty-two-year-old companion Graca Machel, the widow of the former president of Mozambique, Samura Machel (1933–86).

PAKALITHA MOSISILI’s BIO

Bethuel Pakalitha Mosisili (born March 14, 1945) has been the Prime Minister of Lesotho since May 29, 1998.[1] He led his party, the Lesotho Congress for Democracy (LCD), to a near-total victory in the 1998 election, and under his leadership the party also won majorities in the 2002 and 2007 elections. In addition to serving as Prime Minister, Mosisili is the Minister of Defense. In 1993, Mosisili was elected to parliament from the Qacha’s Nek Constituency and became Minister of Education.[1] On April 14, 1994, he was briefly kidnapped along with three other ministers by soldiers; a fifth minister, Deputy Prime Minister Selometsi Baholo, was killed in this incident.[2] Mosisili was appointed Deputy Prime Minister in late January 1995, while remaining Minister of Education;[3] on July 20, 1995, he was named Minister of Home Affairs and Local Government instead, while remaining Deputy Prime Minister.[4] A new ruling party, the LCD, was formed in 1997 under the leadership of Prime Minister Ntsu Mokhehle as a split from the Basutoland Congress Party. On February 21, 1998, Mosisili was elected leader of the LCD after Mokhehle chose to step down due to poor health.[1][5] After his party’s victory in 1998, there were accusations of vote rigging and mass protests from the opposition parties, which culminated with their occupation of the grounds to the palace. In the ensuing debacle which saw the army, police and king complicit in an attempt to unseat his government, Mosisili had to resort to asking the regional grouping, Southern African Development Community (SADC), for an intervention to stem the imminent coup. New elections were eventually held in May 2002, which his party won, this after a major split led by his former deputy, Kelebone Maope, and Shakhane Mokhehle, the brother of the late founder of his party. On this occasion, Mosisili himself was elected to a seat from the Tsoelike constituency, receiving 79.2% of the vote; in his previous constituency, Qacha’s Nek, Pontso Sekatle was the LCD candidate.[6] In October 2006, Tom Thabane left the LCD and formed a new party, and 17 other members of parliament joined him; this left the LCD with a narrow majority of 61 out of 120 seats. On Mosisili’s advice, King Letsie III dissolved parliament on November 24, 2006, and a new election was scheduled for February 17, 2007; they had previously been expected in April or May. [7][8] The LCD won this election, taking 61 seats; the National Independent Party, allied with the LCD, won an additional 21 seats.[9] Whilst attending a funeral in his home district of Qacha’s Nek in late 2006, Mosisili gave a speech which quoted a Basotho idiom, “Se sa feleng sea hlola”, meaning “anything that does not finish/end is not good”. Some believed that he was referring to his term in office and his embattled political party. Armed men attacked Mosisili’s residence on April 22, 2009, apparently intending to kill him; three of the attackers, one of whom was reportedly a soldier, were killed by police, and Mosisili was unharmed.[10]
He has since formed a break-away party DC and the electorate decided to dump him during 2012 general elections.
