🙏🏿 this is the stuff of beautiful dreams really🙏🏿
I first met MamLetta almost 30yrs ago officially at a dinner to launch a place they called “Back of the Moon” here in Jozi. All the legends were there, I mean all of them, and little me of course.
I was always in rooms I was too small to be in but felt so at home there.
I chased her down a passage and sang “Tristeza”, telling her it was my favourite of her songs. She was shocked that I not only knew her music, but that I know that song in particular.
She has an astounding discography and her kindness and gentle mentorship have carried me through the 30 sum years I have been in this business. She influenced everyone.
If you listen to the opening of Mamani you might hear what you would later hear in the voice of Busi Mhlongo.
She is an integral part of the South African voice and technique. #LettaMbulu

Can you believe that a Zimbabwean has explained our current crisis better than some so called educated PhD holders??? May God Bless this man because the truth sets everyone Free! So instead of these NPOs funded by Foreign organisations and political parties that benefit from crime call us Xenophobic, they need to address the real issue first
Well, @ParliamentofRSA has once again called for public inputs on possible constitutional amendments.
For those who may not know, the Constitution itself allows for amendments through Section 74. In other words, the Constitution was designed to be amended where Parliament and the people believe change is necessary.
Parliament is currently receiving legal opinions on submissions made during the previous Constitutional Review process, including SACR's submission. We therefore hope Parliament will also provide South Africans with feedback on the outcome of that process and explain how those submissions were considered.
As we did before, we the people of South Africa will once again make our voices heard by participating in this process.
I will share the submission link and further details soon.
Public participation should not end when submissions are sent. Citizens deserve to know what happens next.

When the Khoe wouldn’t work for the Dutch in the Cape, they were branded as “lazy” & slaves were brought from Asia & elsewhere in Africa. When the Zulu wouldn’t work for the British in Natal, indentured labourers were brought in from India. This is all important to know today.
🎙️ [Listen] A powerful testimony at the BMIACF Anti-Corruption Awareness Campaign at Oshoek Port of Entry highlighted the devastating consequences of corruption.
Former SARS official Ms Hlengiwe Khumalo, currently serving a 10-year sentence, shared how corruption cost her career, freedom and family, reminding us that integrity matters and corruption destroys lives.

Tyler Mane, who is a former pro wrestler and played Sabertooth in the X-Men/Deadpool and Wolverine movies, reveals that he has breast cancer.
“Yep. I have breast cancer. And yep, it’s super rare. Only 1% of breast cancers are men. I’ll be honest, my first reaction was to keep it secret. I mean it’s kind of embarrassing. But then I found out that men are more likely to be diagnosed in advance stages BECAUSE it’s not talked about and not looked for. In fact, my doctors all dismissed it and it was only because my wife pushed me to get the lump removed that I got in early. So let’s start talking about it! 1 in 755 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime and if caught early, it’s VERY treatable. Time to answer the Wake Up Call! Like, Save, Share, Comment let’s spread the word!”
