Fighting the Good Fight

The phrase can generally mean anything really. For starters, often fights are connected to something that is bad or aggressive behavior. A thing that very few want to be associated with. But have you ever considered that some fights are for a good cause?

World over there are people suffering. Somalia has been one of the nations in need of help and assistance for many years. Many people and organisations have played their role in fighting this good fight in Somalia. Great people like Angelina Jolie, Alicia Keys among others have managed to be part of this movement.

Mandela’s Good Fight

Nelson Mandela is one icon who is internationally recognized for fighting the good fight. He spent 27 years in prison for trying to end apartheid. Often, people remove those in power only to put their own laws that will work in their favor and suppress those who oppressed them.
Mandela turned the tables. He did not want to suppress the white people in his land but wanted equality throughout the world. He was known for making peace between people of all color and race. This surely marked the beginning of a new era world over. Because of this, he lived the rest of his life being celebrated.
He taught the world that violence is not the only way. Rather he showed the rest of the world that there are multiple ways to fight without using force. It requires diplomacy, a good heart and most important patience is key.

Is Awareness a Fight?

Definitely, awareness is a fight. Universally, there has been an awareness of cancer.
People have joined hands every corner of the world to try and fight  this disease.
Sometimes it might not necessarily be you in a situation but the fact that someone else is suffering from that disease you fight for them, that’s what we call humanity.
Giving a helping hand is what defines us as a human being, advocating for the good is what keeps the world going.
 

June Movie of the Month at Punt Casino

It’s just a few more days left for the month to end. And despite the World Cup excitement, there are also other things that are actually happening out there. Actually a whole lot more! For instance, movie producers are up and down trying to claim the title “June Movie of the Month”.

Movie of the month

For a movie to be the movie of the month, it has to hit the record sales at Box Office, for one. Secondly, critics have to love it. Let’s be honest, for most people decide to watch a movie based on what the critics say. So if critics hate it, then there is no movie of the month title for that movie.  Thirdly, somehow the whole world has to love it.

Things to Do During the Winter Solstice

If you feel like the winter nights are too short for you, then you had better enjoy your sleep tonight. June 21 marks the Winter Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere. Allow us to break it down, Southern Hemisphere = South Africa. So as said earlier, if sleep is loved, then tonight you had better enjoy it.

What is the Winter Solstice?

picture of the world during winter solstice The Winter solstice is an extraordinary day that occurs once a year. So why is there an “extra” in the ordinary? Well, this because the day is shorter and the night is longer than on other days. Also, it is the coldest day of the year.  And today is that day, June 21.
The Winter Solstice is also known as the Hibernal Solstice and it is the exact opposite of the Summer Solstice which is in December. During the Summer Solstice, we get the longest day and the shortest night.

Do a little extra too…

Since the day is super short and the night is extra-long, here are a few things to do with those added hours of night.

Watch the world cup

This is obviously the first thing any soccer lover will do, watching the world cup. If you missed any of the world cup matches, tonight is a great night to catch up on those matches, and still get the same number of hours for your sleep. That’s definitely a win-win situation.

Go on a date

With an extra-long night, why not go on an extra special date? Take that special someone and enjoy the night. Go on a romantic date or a romantic night walk. And when you get home, since its extra cold, you could just cuddle up and keep each other warm.
And if you have no one to cuddle with then you are welcome to hang out with us at Punt Casino. New players are warmly welcomed with a R10,000 bonus.
