Mbali Ndlovu Profiled

I would like to formally introduce myself as I will not do it on this platform ever again. Instead I will be enhancing my life.

I am a young, bold, enthusiastic woman who enjoys nothing more than to meet other people. I also love to blog, writing is my passion I gauge from previous experiences in life and I share what I can, what I deem plausible for others to know. People watching on social networks and occasionally at coffee shops, is exactly the things that keep me inspired. I value family values and loyalty. I am running my own race. I know that my calling is much greater than I have imagined in my head, and trusting in God I know I will reach my destiny. I pray you are blessed in my sharing.

I was raised in the backrooms of the servant courters (essentially 2 rooms) in a very luscious suburb called Westville in Durban South Africa. I was raised by the village being in the form of a church. A church that had people from all walks of life. My influences are therefore, European, Indian and Zulu.

My father passed away when I was very young and my mother raised me with assistance from this village and from a family, she worked for, the Jann family. You will hear plenty about this family and other families as time progresses.

I would like to place a disclaimer that I am not perfect. I don’t hold all the answers. However what I do know for sure is that I have been set up and raised up to speak the truth, defy racism and bring sexism to its knees. I also know that I am called to bring diversity to my society for the purpose of having my children live in the realness and abundance of who they are called to be without having to always question who they are.

Thank you for joining me in the dialogue that is life.

The bond that liberates

There are relationships that will always remain close and dear to your heart. These are such trusted and loving relationships. I’ve always remained teachable in relationships I find myself in. I find the soul being elevated in the sight of authentic and realistic relationships. Where there is little to no reservation, bearing in mind I’m speaking about real relationships, not the kind where you just kickin it . I’ve dated two men who have seen me as not just a woman in their lives but also a sister. Now we generally use these terms so loosely however as Africans we are relatively still in tune to our real African roots. We still look into the soulful spaces of the relationship we are in, it's how we excel in respect. I notice that resonating often in our lives. But I digress. The validation of the sister/ brotherhood in a relationship is almost as befitting as a gold star rating in your role as that person’s partner. Let me explain. When one can honestly feel at home in...

Speak to God

Spiritual work and a spiritual life are unspoken and unnoticed daily activities known to man. You might say to me - but that's obvious. But because of the space we find ourselves in, other things take precedence over our spiritual time. We find people priding themselves in the work ethic and how much they have built, good as that is one can neglect the spiritual growth needed to enjoy the finer things in life. In order to have a fulfilled life your spirit has to be a happy one. A person on their deathbed will always express the importance of enjoying life, they hardly mention the need for money and assets as they slip onto the other side. People may even say spiritual activities are designated for certain people. However, connections with God are not always smooth sailing. This is because there are multiple ways that your spirit might connect with God. Questions I have for you are, are you aware of how to connect with God? Do you know that there might be several ways that ...

Muted Men

It all started with a tweet from a lady I respect and admire @KirtyBisset (Nov.16) that read, “Shout out to the fragile men.” I then replied to her saying that her tweet speaks to me my heart and that I wanted to write a blog about this very thing and she encouraged m e to go on and do it. I’ve been wanting to speak about the silencing, disrespect and abuse of men and how this has been ignored for far too long. My final wakeup call was when I realised that gender violence doesn’t really have a preference to which gender it will choose, it just violates. I have been reading up on this for years and my interest comes from a multitude of seen and heard stories amongst people I know. I know men who have been assaulted by women whom they had trusted and loved. I have watched women in my family abuse men physically or verbally. I have seen this reaction come out of anger and I have seen it come from pure malicious intent of trying to provoke a man just to see how far they can go. My...
