Seyalwela Sa Kgosing Is the name of my grandmother, Who is my mother’s mother .

She was born in the 1930s , in April although her identity card says she was born June The 16th in 1937.

That makes her 88 years of age this year.

She raised me while she let her last born child Mmameleko Priscilla Moloko to go pursue a life of independence letting her job hunt while I was with her.

Seyalwela is the 14th child of Ramogobye Ephraim Moloko and Selina Phokwane Moloko after Her Is Her Younger Brother Solomon Moloko.

Their father was a Private and Served in the army.

With that said when I remind myself of where I come from it is my grandmother who was and is always splendid example of what courage means

Koko was blessed with eleven children and she is surviving by five and my mother being youngest of them all is turn fifty years of age this July 31st

I was named Matlhogonolo a Setswana beautiful Noun meaning blessings, with that I have gradually come to overstand that our parents loved us before we were born and after we unlive

There is a saying in Setswana ” ngwana yo o sa Utlwelleng molao wa batswadi o tla utlwa wa manong”

This saying ultimately talks about how we have to be responsible as children to respect our Elders to know that we are too going to be adults or parents as such it is in our best interest to be honest with ourselves and remember charity begins at home.

Charity began at home in this fashion, I was taught that I have to listen to my Elders wether we are related by blood or not for we learn so much from the ones who have passed on this journey called life

If we don’t respect ourselves and our Elders we are destined to not advance in this life situation

Call it a predicament merely due the fact that we are not able to humble ourselves and know that we know nothing but we are capable of learning and changing our mindset

My grandmother has taught me resilience and persistence without fail I have come to appreciate her as Person As My Gramother and As Woman who has been strong enough even to raise eleven children alone without the aid of a man.

Looking where she came from it is a matlhogonolo that I was raised by a worship warrior an Apostolic Leader who has told me for years that I to I am a Moruti..That is I am a Reverend a Pastor and A Healer.

I prefer to be a brother ,a Husband A Father and A Friend Yes of course And A Son who is not just rebellious and disrespectful for I overstand that if it was not for them my Eldest I would not have been born

From ethereal to material I forever thank my Elders for this life and forever the next

Ke tla tshela Ke Ipela ,Ka Nako Tshohle.
