Advice for Young and Old

Advice for Young and Old is not just a devotional. It is a heart-to-heart between the Bible and the Kasi. Inspired by Ecclesiastes 11:7–10, this book speaks to everyone — whether you are a teenager catching taxis to school or an elder watching your grandkids chase Wi-Fi. It is raw. Reflective. Spiritual. Street-smart. With humor, hard truths, and township wisdom, this book breaks down what it means to live fully, love deeply, and honour God in every season of life. Each chapter brings Scripture to life using everyday township language and modern stories — from load shedding lessons to late-night prayers, from the pain of purpose to the joy of small moments. Twelve chapters cover joy and darkness, youth and age, relationships and legacy, community and faith, mental health and healing, love and accountability — all rooted in the wisdom of Ecclesiastes and the lived reality of South African township life. This is not a book for people who have it all figured out. It is a book for people who are still in it — still fighting, still praying, still choosing to show up. Whether you are vibing in the city or sitting on the stoep watching life go by — this is your guide to living wisely, loving loudly, and leaving something behind that lasts. Built in the Kasi. Driven by Faith. Walk in the Light.
