🎶“Kwenzek’ismanga, amaphuma afezeka kwavela kwalunga yonk’into…”🎶 I first heard Ami Faku’s song “int’ingawe” at an event organised by Roshnie Munsamy. I was on a panel with Precious Bikitsha who was talking about Nontsizi Mgqwetho; chaired by @nombonisogasa.

Dear Apho Kungenje,
Today, the most significant day of your many births past and yet to come, I am setting you free into the world, mntanam.

Thank you for the gifts and lessons. I am grateful for the many people who helped bring you to life.

Now go & make your mama proud 😘

@oscarsibabalwe @athambile Seeing you anywhere in Joburg always makes me so happy but seeing you at the event on Saturday was extra special. Thank you for all your work with editing the lyric book, Mhleli Wesizwe 😉😉

@SawubonaSAA no one is doing this anymore: listing only the names of men struggle icons of the EC in an issue proclaiming women’s month. It’s giving boring. It’s giving so last century 🙄

Every time I come back from an overseas trip I always say that if we can just fix our economy SA would be the best country in the world.

We have everything.

Desert, Tropics, Ocean, Mountains, beautiful and friendly people, our food bangs we even do other nations foods really well, great weather, cradle of humankind, great humour, 4 x rugby world champs, great at a bunch of sport, invented a bunch of cool things, our tech industry is also really great, great financial services sector, a well supported informal economy, great fashion, best dancers, some of the best surfing beaches in the world, excellent braiding hairstyles, WINE and and and

We just need our politics to work and then nobody can stop us
