Lerato's 67 Minutes of Reflection
News
By Lerato Walaza
24/07/2019

Lerato Walaza observed Mandela Day in her hometown of Pretoria where it dawned on her that South Africans still need a lot of guidance.
As I watched the eyes of the children at Loftus Versveld light up when they recognised me from MTV Shuga, I couldn’t help but be reminded of the potential that the youth of South Africa have; a thought that filled me with happiness and despair.
Coming off the back of another season of MTV Shuga: Down South, one thing was apparent – the youth needs guidance. We need role models, we need leadership and we (especially young women) need to be empowered to take the steps that need to be taken towards economic and societal freedom.
On the 18th of July I spent the day with the finalists from the upcoming Miss South Africa pageant as well as some of the brightest learners from ___ high school and the need for rolemodels couldn’t have been more clear. The look on the faces of the children when they recognised me from MTV Shuga was so heartwarming, but when I took the time to speak to each of them, I actually had flashbacks from the most recent season.
When one Grade 7 learner said she wanted to start a salon so that she can make people beautiful, I remembered how my character Zamo had approached her business venture with the same excitement only for Andile to eventually take advantage. It dawned on me that we need to empower girls but also keep them aware of the threats that are out there.
I had a chance to speak a few of the guests on the day and I was please to see that women empowerment was one of their biggest priorities too! I had a brief moment to speak to my homegirl from Pretoria, Keabetswe who revealed that one of their biggest mandates for this year was to use their platform in such a way that would inspire and empower other women.
She said to me,
“It’s important to recognise that we, women, have to be the first to empower each other. It begins with us, it begins with us recognising what we won’t stand for, and supporting each other [I thought to myself if Zamo had gotten support, she wouldn’t have needed Andile’s ‘help’ ]”
Keabetswe continued, “I want to use my voice and my platform this year to make a real difference in the lives of other women and girls in this country. Black girl, it really is your time and we are all proof”
I also spoke to one of the “big wigs” of the day – Nthabiseng Phoshoko who is a commercial director at LFP, Miss SA’s main sponsor.
“We chose this platform [Miss SA] because we wanted to empower women who many young ladies across South Africa are going to be looking up to.
Affiliating ourselves with such a big event like this allows us to carry on with our mission and groom the eventual Miss South Africa to understand what it means to be a role model and to be the pride of the country”.
In the end I wish there were more Nthabisengs and Keabetswe’s around the country for anybody who found themselves in the position that Zamo did this season. The need for someone to look up to, someone to guide you, is a serious one and I wish more girls had someone like this in their life.
Thankfully, I met 16 talented, intelligent and determined ladies who are willing to be this person for others out there.

I always knew my husband was up to something but I no proof of this. He receives strange calls, he protects his phone jealously and would never drop it for any reason. I went online in search of ways I can remotely monitor his conversations. I tried a number of phone monitoring apps but each one of them failed to access his phone. Moreover, I could not physically access his phone which made matters worse. I had already given up and resigned to my fate when I stumbled upon this team of (hacksecrete@gmail . c o m). Call or text him on +1(617) 402-2260 They provided me with a solution that helped me monitor his chats, calls, text messages and a host of other features. What i saw confirmed my suspicions, he is seeing someone else.

CRYPTO / BITCOIN RECOVERY IS REAL!!!
( MorrisGray830 At gmail Dot Com, is the man for the job )
This man is dedicated to his work and you can trust him more than yourself. I contacted him a year and a half Ago and he didn't succeed. when i got ripped of $491,000 worth of bitcoins by scammers, I tried several recovery programs with no success too. I kept on. And now after so much time Mr Morris Gray contacted me with a success, and the reward he took was small because obviously he is doing this because he wants to help idiots like me who fell for crypto scam, and love his job. Of course he could have taken all the coins and not tell me , I was not syncing this wallet for a year, but he didn't.
He is the MAN guys , He is! If you have been a victim of crypto scam before you can trust Morris Gray 10000000%. I thought there were no such good genuine guys anymore on earth, but Mr Morris Gray brought my trust to humanity again. GOD bless you sir...you can reach him via ( MORRIS GRAY 830 at Gmaill dot com ) or Whatsapp +1 (607)698-0239.{}

Those who cheat on their partners that are loyal to them, do not deserve them.
It is a trashy attitude to disregard a person's loyalty in a relationship by cheating on him or her. If you succeed on cheating someone, don’t think that person is a fool but rather, realize that, the person trusted you much more than you deserved.
I’ve been bullied by my wife for months and this got me traumatized cause she complained on every little thing I did in the house. I tried to figure out what was wrong and why the change of attitude but couldn't find a vivid reason for her actions. I took out time to observe her behavior and noticed she’s been seeing another man; a co-worker at her place of work.
I needed a solid and concrete proof of her cheating ways and was then introduced to a platform by a friend where i met this expert named, Sean, and was being properlly attended to. I was able to reach out to him on his mailing Service where i presented my case and to my greatest surprise, he got into her phone remotely within a twinkle of an eye and I was able to see all her activities on phone ranging from text messages, call logs to social media activity and how i was even dishonored before her.
I concluded everyone cheats in their own ways until been discovered. The truly scary part about undiscovered lies is that, they have a greater capacity to diminish us than exposed ones. Knowing is better than self doubt.
Get in touch with the real deal and get freed from an abusive relationship.

TRACING & RECOVERY
In 2013, I purchased six Bitcoins when they were priced at around $80 (£60) each. At the time, Bitcoin was gaining attention in niche corners of the internet, and my interest was sparked after hearing discussions about it on a radio talk show. Despite the complicated process of buying Bitcoin back then, I managed to navigate through and acquire my coins.
Living in Illinois, USA, I spent some of my digital currency over the following year before eventually forgetting about it. However, in late 2017, when news headlines announced that the value of Bitcoin had surged to nearly $20,000, I excitedly attempted to log in to my account and cash out. Unfortunately, I encountered an issue—I couldn't remember all the login details for my Bitcoin wallet, which is a program or device that stores private keys or secret numbers.
Realizing that my printout had missed some digits from my wallet identifier, I found myself in a frustrating situation. Although I had my password written down, I had no way of accessing my wallet without knowing the wallet ID. I tried various methods for months, but my efforts proved to be hopeless, and I eventually gave up.
Fast forward to last spring when the value of Bitcoin surged above $50,000—more than 600 times the price I had paid eight years earlier. Filled with a renewed determination to locate my coins, I turned to the internet and discovered Mr. William Mercado (William-Mercado@cyber-wizard.com), a cryptocurrency expert known as a "crypto hunter." After engaging in online conversations with Mr. Mercado, I gradually developed trust in his abilities and decided to provide him with all the details I could recall. Then, I patiently waited for a resolution. Eventually, everything fell into place. Mr. Mercado managed to access my wallet, and there it was—three and a half Bitcoins, which were valued at $175,000 at that point. I felt an overwhelming sense of relief. If you believe you have encountered a security issue, it is recommended to seek assistance from legitimate cybersecurity professionals. Engaging with ethical hackers who adhere to legal and ethical guidelines can help address security concerns in a responsible and lawful manner.

I just can't keep this great news to myself, that will be wicked of me. I was scammed of my Bitcoin in January by an online crypto worth around $290,000.00 USD. I wept every night because I had attracted a lot of debt, The only thing that always came to that moment was to end my life but I am a single parent with a child of 9 years. Heaven smiled at me the day I was introduced to a Bitcoin Recovery Specialist called, Cyber Genie Hack Pro. He recovered all the Bitcoin that I was scammed of from the fraudulent crypto vendor without leaving a dime with the scammers. I am very excited and happy I got it recovered, It wasn't an easy process, but with commitment, I saw it to the end. Here are my two cents to any victim of Crypto-Currency investment and Pig Butchering fraud, consult " Cyber Genie Hack Pro on their official email "Cybergenie(@) Cyberservices. Com" "WhatsApp + 1,252,5,1203,91,
PS...: Please you all should stay safe out there, The internet is full of crooks that's why I endorse Cyber Genie as the best crypto recovery specialist to recover all stolen digital assets.
