I posted this video because it perfectly captures the kind of people who pretend to be on your side while secretly adding to your problems.

Oh, the nostalgia. Oh, the soundtrack to so many of our childhoods. To this day, Henry Cele is embedded in my head as Shaka Zulu, I can never picture him any differently.

Tebello Motsoane would have been 44 today.

He was gunned down alongside @akaworldwide in February 2023.

It’s widely believed he was not a target - just in the right place at the wrong time.

In October that year, his mother also passed away.

Tibz’ dad, Sylvester - the last remaining member of their small family unit - has always maintained she died of a broken heart.

Motsoane lives a private life, but continues to cherish the memories of his departed loved ones and regularly celebrates them in his own way.
