Blessings All Round! 

This is my Master, Brother Judah, His isi-Xhosa name is Duduza, he is also my niece's Master, and lives in the village of Matokazini where i used to stay before crossing two rivers to my new village of Mngcibe, Rastas also do not like having their photo taken but mi Master give iani permission to publish this one!

Brother Judah is a qualified architect and he assist in the design of the school of creativity.  This is a challenge as we have to accommodate over 750 children in this project, JAH Guide our meditations!

Bless up JAH Lady! This is Sister Jami-lee, her isiXhosa name is Noloyiso (given conqueror, warrior) She is instrumental in helping me to set up the school, JAH bless her with high wisdom!

This my beautiful sister Fundiswa, which means Teacher, and she is one of the most amazing teachers i have ever met.  Fundiswa, like Thandi, also speaks excellent english.

Sister Fundiswa is busy planning to build her own creche, which will co-inside with the building of the arts school which means that together we will be catering for the preschool and creative education of our children in our village.

Fundiswa is also a skilled crafter and sells like "hot cakes" to our tourists as they love her work! This photo was taken one day when we walked three hours to a small village called Presleys Bay, Jah bless us that day we almost sell all of our stock there together!

Fundiswa lives with her husband Brother Paul who has lived in the village for twenty four years and speaks fluent isiXhosa, and their two children Sinathi and Chaza, about 2 km along the beach from where i live with her parents.  My sister has assisted me to conduct discussions with the village school as well as the entire community who support the idea of a school of creativity, the people of my village can see where i am going with the concept  of providing a platform to showcase and develop up and coming creative talent and to teach creative skills to children to stimulate creative occupations and self sufficiency among my people of the lands.

She has also helped me to secure the land on which we will build the school, this is a dream come true for iandi, and once Brother Judah can give me the drawings for the school we can start the building quotes and the plan is to start to build in June, which is our building time, after the rains, Jah bless our works!

This is my view when i walk from my parent's home towards our secondary school, Give Thanks!

and before we got our "tap" water September last year, we used to walk down to this river to collect our water, on our heads in a 20 litre bucket!

ONe Love!

Xhosa Styles! 

I love the Xhosa people more than i love the Irish People! 

i have a dear friend who is South African born Irish descent, so he calls himself "Afro~Irie" and has a tatoo on his arm of the African continent and the Irish Flag, will try to get a pic of that one! it totally depicts how i feel about my afro~cosmological experiences!  Remember "It began in Africa".....

Xhosa people are extremely humble and do not like to have their photo taken, this is therefore a rare pic of myself with my Xhosa parents, Mama and Tata Flaye (clan name) surname is Gxala, as well as my brother Ki-Ki.  My isi-xhosa name is Nohombile which means well groomed and friendly to the people!

This blog is a collection of my most recent adventures in the Transkei (also known as Trancesky!) which I consider to be my holy land, my personal Zion as depicted in the word of God, The Bible,  Give thanks!

Since my first visit to the Holy Land in my teens, I always knew that the minute my children would finish their schooling, i shall relocate to the Transkei and basically have myself adopted by a Xhosa village where I can live in peace and quiet and help the community which ends up accepting me!

Over the past 30 years JAH has blessed i with countless trips to the kei, all different rural villages, from the East London side to the Durban side ending with Port Edward, I had such a mystical experience in Port Edward, but that"s another blog for another date;)

JAH has blessed iandi with many mystical life experiences, for which i give thanks to The Most High, for without His Wisdom and Gydance, i would never have made it this far,

My sister Thandiswa, with Mama Flaye looking on, Sister Thandiswa works in the corporate sector in Mtata and speaks perfect English!

My life is an expression of JAH work and while i cannot be perfect, for not one of us is, we can only try to live in His Holiness and try to make a positive and free life for all of us, this is my dream, to free my people by building a School of Creativity and a Natural Healing clinic in my village! JAH Guide! One Love!

Be Blessed ~ Nohombile
