If I as Pekwa Nicholas Mohlala take my family (that is, my brothers and sisters, myself, and our children) combined, we have all the resources, knowledge, skills, and capacity to run a successful, profitable, and sustainable small business.
If I take my extended family both maternal and partenal (that is, my aunts and uncles and my cousins, myself, and our children) combined, we have all the resources, knowledge, skills, and capacity to run a successful, profitable, and sustainable medium business.
If I take Ba Ga Mohlala family in general (that is, including dikgadi le bo malome ka Ga Mohlala, ditlogolo le ditlogolwana) combined, we have all the resources, knowledge, skills, and capacity to run a successful, profitable, and sustainable Big Business business.
If I take Banareng clan (that is, including dikgadi le bo malome ka kgorong ya Banareng, ditlogolo le ditlogolwana) combined, we have all the resources, knowledge, skills, and capacity to run a successful, profitable, and sustainable multinational business.
YET, we are not able to do that because of lack of unity, and the lack of unity is caused by selfishness and lack of trust.
At the moment what we have is (in majority) successful independent individuals running their individual successful, profitable and sustainable small businesses and successful individuals pursuing their own fulfilling careers.
If ever we want to succeed as families and one united clan, we need to start by addressing the issue of trust, and selfishness. Other than that, anything that we try to do to unite the family will fail.
And to succeed in addressing the issue of trust, and selfishness, we must first start ka go babana bjalo ka bana ba motho. Gore re thome go babana bjalo ka bana ba motho, we must first start by creating platforms that will overtime (because it can only happen over a period of time, and not overnight) make us build a bond gore re tsebana ebile re babane, and this platform is one of those platforms. So, let us grab the opportunity to use this platform, to participate, contribute positively, and add our brothers and sisters, our cousins, and other extended family members to this platform as a way towards building unity, unity of purpose, purpose of reclaiming our glory and building a legacy. Unity of empowering ourself and our communities. Unity of building a successful and sustainable socioeconomic livelihood for ourselves and our communities.
We will keep on preaching this gospel of being self sustainable (as Ba Ga Mohlala and Banareng in general), until people start to stop and take notice, until people start listening and acting, we will keep on preaching this gospel of being self sustainable (as Ba Ga Mohlala and Banareng in general), until people take it upon themselves and start organizing themselves around the issue of social and economic development as a family and as a clan, until people realize the importance of self sufficiency as a family and as a clan.
In times of election, the media always keep on talking about the election machinery of the ruling party in refence to branches of the ruling party which are the power base of the ruling party.
Luckily as Ba Gs Mohlala, we also have Ba Ga Mohlala branches across the country as basic units in addition to family, and extended family units. So, let us use those structures a basic units and building blocks to build up Ba Ga Mohlala and Banareng to become successful forces which will play a role in socioeconomic sphere locally, regionally, provinvially, nationally, and internationally. To build Ba Ga Mohlala and Banareng to be a force to reckon with locally, provinvially, nationally, and internationally. The platforms are there, it is all up to us, the ball is in our court as a collective Ba Ga Mohlala and Banareng.
It must become a norn and a duty to serve the family and the clan, it must become a honour to selflessly serve the family and the clan without expecting anything in return.
ALUTA !!!!!!!!
