I will want to take away your pain but instead can I sit with you and teach you how to feel it?

@Fort_Melarn It's bigger than #Zuma just like it was bigger than "xenophobia". Check the similarity in geographical layout. #SAShutdown #ZumaProtests

Watch this short drama tonight on @Official_SABC1. Written and directed by me.

@thandiswamazwai We are good at over-forgiving others tho. We have extra cushions for that. So maybe it’s about self-worth/love as overarching theme...to amp value and capacity for self.

@voguemagazine Harry and Meghan can influence the moment but can not, just two of them, change tabloid culture because, like you said, it’s Culture.

Grateful to have access to books that speak about things I think about even tho the big one’s been a back and forth relationship. @ReadaBookSA

My back hurt like it was broken. Now healing or humbled to become more open. For example, I wear gloves when I clean dishes so nails stay unbroken. Now in bed reading what old Sudan would say had it spoken.

#TheForgottenKingdom is also on Netflix. The story of a boy who returns his father’s body from South Africa to Lesotho explores migration, loss and love in a healing journey. If you can hear Sotho, switch off diluting subtitles and listen to the poetry of the language.

In Netflix news, I couldn’t finish #QueenSono despite its epic African female James-Bond aspiration. #Tjovitjo was a better story considering budget. It combines Pantsula and Violence to create something authentically African. Violence was a bit Yizo-Yizo-esque but worth it.
