I’ve written a book about Mam’ Zodwa Zwane; Mam’ Winnie Mandela’s last personal assistant, and a woman with an extraordinary story of her own.

It’s out now at @ExclusiveBooks. If you can, please grab a copy and read about these two extraordinary women.

Sometimes I wonder, Mama @Feliciamabuza whether you will ever know what you meant to the black child, in particular, by the conversations you had, how you shaped narratives and inspired us as we were getting into grips with the reality of our country in our formative years….

@MarvinTKDL @ExclusiveBooks It’s Mam Zodwa’s life story, and I wrote and shaped it into a book. The ‘with’ is a standard memoir credit when the subject is closely involved in telling their story.

@Logdrum_Origins @KeletsoMoloto_ 😂 wild days! What a time it was!

[Rahul SA 🇿🇦 @Rahul_AJ_1990]

The USA has
~ an Embassy in Pretoria,
~ a Consulate in Joburg,
~ a Consulate in Cape Town, +
~ a Consulate in Durban.

Hundreds of Americans are employed across all 4 diplomatic offices, all of whom live happily in South Africa with their respective families, attending schools, places of entertainment, enjoying walks on the beach, & the general life in South Africa.

If there was really a "white genocide" in SA, as Donald Trump keeps lying about, why would the USA maintain their diplomatic mission here, & subject their citizens to such a scourge?
