"I was handed a job by DJ Fresh, taught me to be hands on like a DJ set
Till this day I thank God that he said yes
God put your hands on him so he stay blessed"
Behind every player, there is someone who saw something first.
A coach.
A mentor.
Someone who guided, corrected, and believed.
Development is not an individual journey.
Talent needs direction, and direction does not happen by chance.
It is built through guidance, structure, and consistency.
The right mentorship does more than develop players, it shapes people and strengthens the systems around them.
This is where real development begins.

I’m so proud to have beat the Evil System of Apartheid at their own game.
By the time I reached 30, I owned my factory in the heart of a township called Mabopane, built with my own resources, by my own construction company, employing roughly 200 local people.
5 years earlier, this story began in January 1985, with a R30k loan by 2 black businessmen, Walter Dude and Mr Moja, commonly known as Uncle Nats in Ga-Rankuwa, in a 200sq rented factory in Ga-Rankuwa owned by the SBDC, today known as Business Partners.
I conceived the idea of Black Like Me in 1984, invited two other partners to join, Joseph Molwantwa, a brilliant salesman and Johan Kriel, a white production manager/chemist. We recruited my wife to join in January 1985 as a bookkeeper.
Today, 2026, 41 years later, I am proud that my wife and daughter have taken over the reins, working with my new partners, working to take the business to the next level.
As South Africans we really need to make sure that when Madala retires we organise a party for him man. Hugo Broos changed our lives. We can speak pridefully about Bafana Bafana and nations are respecting us for football reasons🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Stogie should’ve just given Nasty a beat asked him to make a song & let that be that. A horrible record to have to endure, you have to force yourself to listen until the end, where you realise that only one of these rappers actually sounds competent… Why make Maggz do this? SMH!

You may remember an article in a South African newspaper [I don't remember which one, but they did interview me then] a few months back reporting that my books and those of Nadine Gordimer were used to train ChatGPT without our permission. Some of you who are bo-tsebanyane (know-it-all) sneered when I posted that we were going to sue for compensation. Well, we did sue and there was a case - what they call class-action in the USA - called Bartz v. Anthropic which we [fellow writers whose books were used without our permission] won. I received an email from my agents in London which partly reads: "There was a major copyright lawsuit in the US brought by authors against AI company Anthropic for using books without permission to train large language models. A settlement agreement was preliminarily approved in September 2025. The settlement would see authors whose US publications have been used by the company to train AI-models receive a share of $1.5bn." Whereas the newspaper article had only mentioned Ways of Dying, it turns out that six of my novels were used to train AI and I was none the wiser: The Heart of Redness, The Madonna of Excelsior, The Whale Caller, She Plays with the Darkness, Sometimes there is a Void. Don't be deceived by the billions. They are not all coming to me. They are shared by many writers in the USA. But at least, however little, I will be compensated for each of the books that were used. Damn! I didn't know of my contribution in the development of AI. But the only reason I am telling you this story is to ask the question: what about our South African writers? You can't tell me that these AI developers only used books published in the USA. Does South African law allow South African-based writers to fight for their intellectual property rights in South African courts? Or does the so-called "fair use" doctrine leave them out in the cold from enjoying the fruits of their labour? Find out from those who know.
