1. DEDICATION

First and foremost my dedication goes to the God Almighty for the gift of life, love and family; without Him giving me life none of this would have been possible. Id like to thank my late father Masea Jim Khumalo (may his soul continue to rest in peace), up until to his departure from this life ; he was such an awesome dad, giving life lessons that still remain valuable to this day.

To my mom Poelane Paulinah Khumalo id like to thank you for not giving up on me, even when I was a difficult child; you remained steadfast in your duties as a loving mom. I wont be able to mention all by names, to all my siblings, to my sons Ntsako & Omphile for being my friends and the inspiration to me being an author, to Musa my daughter for just believing in Daddy, to the woman who  encouraged me to keep on believing in my abilities when I wanted to give up Constance Dimakatso Moselakgomo; thank you for your support, 'Queen Fergie'. And to everybody who had an input in this project, it would not be possible without you.

FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART I SINCERELY SAY NAKHENSA, NGIYABONGA, KEA LEBOGA....THANK YOU!!!
