Funny Bone: Anne Kansimme

05/05/201502/02/2017 Shelley (thedealis)Community, Opinion

She is young, educated and articulate. She makes one think, really think, in the most simplistic way. She is one to look out for.

The Power of the Public Holiday

01/05/201502/02/2017 Shelley (thedealis)Community, Opinion

South Africans are a funny bunch.  The one thing we love desperately…is a public holiday.  Especially if there is a long weekend involved.  The shops are packed.  The streets are full.  The braai is on.  It just gets crazier around […]

Thankful Mother Hen

28/04/201502/02/2017 Shelley (thedealis)Community, Opinion

I am a woman in my thirties.  I have borne no children…yet, I am not childless. I am true believer that it takes a village to raise a child.  Therefore, I have the tendency to adopt friends children as if […]

27/04/201502/02/2017 Shelley (thedealis)Community, Opinion

Freedom, in my mind, is being unshackled by slavery.   Being unfettered by limitation.  Deliverance and emancipation from oppression. South Africa is deemed free as a nation.  But are we truly free? We have children running wild.  Waving guns.  Starved. […]

All Rhodes Lead To…?

10/04/201502/02/2017 Shelley (thedealis)Community, Opinion

So…Cecil John Rhodes…The name on the lips of almost every South African.  The man whose image I never would’ve thought to defend.  Yet, here I am.  But not for his sake, but ours. We live in a country so rich […]

The “Stay-At-Home” Person

02/02/201502/02/2017 Shelley (thedealis)Community, Opinion

I am currently a “stay-at-home” wife. I have no kids so the “mom” bit had to be replaced.  It’s hard work…really, it is.  I find that I clean house a heck of a lot more.  There’s always something that needs […]
