Tales from the Deep South, Part 5 - A Course in Township Management(TM)

   We roam the township streets during the day when people are at work.
Seemingly, we are doing so aimlessly. But this is not so. There is method to our roaming.
We are students. We are doing a 'course' called Township Management(TM). The chief aim of this course is to teach people how to manage a township. And you do your learning by walking around the township streets; checking that everything is running smoothly ekasi.
   Anybody can study 'TM'. All you have to do is be at home on any week day and then walk the 'loction' streets during the day. And you can do the course for as long as you want because it is done for free. The 'TM' course is not exclusive to the Deep South kasi though. There are 'TM' students of all ages in every township in South Africa.
   We all have different reasons for doing 'TM'. Some of us are cheese boys/girls. That is, we are spoiled kids. We have no inclination to look for a job because our parents work for us. They provide for all our material needs. A large percentage of 'TM' students here in the Deep South in the 'bonded' houses section fall into this category.
   Other 'TM' students - especially from across( mekhukhung) - cannot genuinely find employment, for one reason or another.
   Whatever your reason for doing 'TM', we are all brothers in arms for now. Be it in the 'bonded' 
houses section or mekhukhung, we are all in this together. We must therefore support each other's
attempts to finish our 'TM' studies( ie to find employment) and re tlohele uku bloma ekasi( stop to lay about in the township).

Our FEEL GOOD quote of the week:

"There is within each of us a 'life instinct,' which is forever
   working toward health, happiness, and all that makes for
   more life for the individual."

Maxwell Maltz( from the book - PSYCH-CYBERNETICS)
