The Colour of Flowers: Signifying Women’s Character, Strength, and Identity By Jelly Fields

The world we inhabit is extraordinarily abundant with colour, offering far more than mere aesthetic pleasure. Colours evoke a rich, tapestry of emotion and possess deep symbolic significance, shaping how we perceive ourselves and the environment around us. Whether it is the vast, tranquil azure of a clear morning sky or the intense, fiery crimson of a blossoming rose, every hue carries its own unique message....

🌸 *WOMEN’S MONTH COMPETITION* 🌸

“She Changed Something in Me.”

This Women’s Month, I want to celebrate the women whose kindness, wisdom, courage or love left a lasting mark on someone’s life. 💕

She doesn’t have to be your mother.
She doesn’t have to be your sister.
She doesn’t even have to be someone you’re related to.

Maybe she was…
🌼 A grandmother you met while travelling.
🌼 A teacher who believed in you.
🌼 A lifelong friend who always knows the right words.
🌼 A neighbour.
🌼 A colleague.
🌼 A woman you met only once, but never forgot.

Sometimes the women who change us the most are the ones no one else knows about.

✍️ How to Enter

Tell me, in just one or two sentences, about ONE incredible woman who has touched your life.

Who is she?
What did she do that made her unforgettable?

Keep it short.
Keep it real.
Keep it from the heart. ❤️

🏆 The most beautiful and heartfelt entry will WIN a Women’s Month Hamper filled with every girl’s favourite treats! 🎁✨

But that’s not all…

💛 Some of your stories will be featured in my Women’s Month article in the Times of Eswatini, helping us honour ordinary women who have done extraordinary things.

📩 Send your entry in the comments before 15 August.

And if you love stories that celebrate people, hope and everyday life…

📝 Subscribe to my blog https://wp.me/P4BIjh-b and join me for more inspiring stories throughout the year.

Because every woman deserves to know that someone remembers what she did. 🌸

PS: And if that person is your mother or your sister by all means let us know 💕




Here is mine:

A woman whose name I’ll never know looked me in the eyes one evening and told me she could see God’s light in me. Years later, I still carry those words, and on the days I forget who I am, I remember that she saw something in me worth believing in. - _Some drunk woman at a tavern in Piet Retief_

The Slow Death of Dignity: Why Eswatini’s Collapsing Healthcare System is a National Emergency By Jelly Fields

Eswatini is quietly suffocating under the weight of a deepening financial crisis, and nowhere is this tragedy more visible than in the hollowed-out corridors of our public health system. Across the country, an unprecedented wave of public frustration is boiling over into the streets. Citizens are protesting over stagnant minimum wages and the absolute collapse of basic social services. While formal political opposition remains restricted within our absolute monarchy, a raw, organic brand of civic activism is taking root....

The Immortal King of the Modern Pitch: Why Kylian Mbappé Has Already Eclipsed the Gods By Jelly Fields

There is a distinct, almost terrifying moment when the stadium atmosphere shifts from anxious anticipation to pure, unadulterated inevitability. It occurs just as a long ball breaches the halfway line, dropping into open space. Whilst mortal defenders require a split second to calculate their coordinates and turn their hips, one figure is already in mid-flight. He does not run; he glides, his shadow slicing through the grass like a scythe....

We invite you to join us for our very first Cell Group Meeting — a safe, confidential, and supportive space where people can come together, share experiences, encourage one another, and take meaningful steps toward healing and recovery. ❤️‍🩹🤗

Whether you are personally struggling, recovering, supporting a loved one, or simply seeking understanding, hope, and connection, you are welcome. 🌱💛

📅 Date: 13 June 2026
🕠 Time: 17:30 – 18:30
📍 Venue: Fortunes Business Hub, Manzini (Adjacent to Bolts & Nuts)

Moving On and Letting Go: The Radical Act of Choosing Your Future By Jelly Fields

Advice about moving on and letting go often gets wrapped up in fluffy metaphors or floating existentialism. We are told to "let it flow like water" or "release it to the wind." But when you are the one sitting in the quiet weight of your own life, stuck between who you used to be and who you are trying to become, those poetic phrases offer very little comfort....

The Shadow Over Manzini: A Mother’s War Cry Against the Drug Pandemic By Jelly Fields

For years, our families have been torn apart by a very real, very predatory enemy that has systematically destroyed the fabric of our community. We stand on our porches and walk our streets watching people with infinite potential—vibrant, talented, and smart—turn into hollow strangers we no longer recognize. It is a slow-motion car crash of a life, and it is heartbreaking to observe how the age of those trapped in this web gets younger with every passing season....

The Silence of the Monsters by Jelly Fields

This is why I stopped reading the newspaper until recently—well, to be honest, until I started writing this column. Every time I picked up the paper, I was confronted by the same haunting headlines. I had to read about r**e, especially about young children being molested, and it broke my heart into a thousand pieces. We see these stories and we try to look away, but the reality is impossible to ignore....
