SABC Vuka Sizwe Concert
The show was about a fight against “women and child abuse”. Specifically it was in commemoration of Sarah Bartman, a woman who was disrobed and used as an object in London. She was shown blatant and brazen disrespect, I don’t know how people so inhumane sleep at night. She was promised fame and money to agree to go to London and she died at the age of 26 because of pneumonia. R.I.P. Sarah!
Imagine if there would be people doing this to you:
What would you do? How would you cope with such treatment? I believe all the culprits to this crime will get what they deserve. Some men are degrading us men, in fact they don't deserve to be called men, "Molesters" suits them very well!
The show started with technical problems, the lady who was saying her poem was inaudible and I heard something like “her mic is off” in Sesotho. The show continued and they moved the camera away from her and she appeared again with a hand-held microphone and everything was fine, she did not start from scratch, she just continued. Well, there was not even a mere “we are sorry about the technical glitch”, the show just continued as if nothing happened.
Camagwini Suthukazi
The performances were African through and through, with Camagwini and Suthukazi acting like “sangomas / amagqirha”! Their African-ness may make them seem well below par, but in actual fact, they were splendid, in an African way! (you know what I mean). This was the first time hearing of Suthukazi, and she was acting all "sangoma sangoma"!!
Some of the perfomers (that I can remember): Lebo Mashile, Ntsiki Mazwai, Camagwini, Rae, KB, Zamajobe, Zonke, Suthukazi, Lira, Bucie! The performers were all females. I am sure all the girls who were expecting to see men strutting their stuff were very disappointed, but we guys were thrilled to see such African beauty!
I ROFLMAO when a friend of mine (who is a guy) commented on Zamajobe’s dress, he said it was “HIDEOUS”, and I couldn’t agree more. I always refrain from commenting on ladies’ fashion because I do not know much about it. But some girls just stretch the guys’ tolerance to the limit. That outfit was hideous and that is a fact, she had a nice sweet voice to compensate for the horrible dress though, so she is forgiven!
KB was wearing a huge London-winter-jacket over a beautiful outfit. I was so irritated because she was next to someone wearing beads (Ntsiki), this reminded me of the Touch-Bonang thing on studio! But I whispered something to her left ear to take off that heavy winter jacket and she did as I asked! Some of the bloggers were moaning saying that KB did not deserve to be in the top12 Mzansi sexy women, well just look at the pic above and tell me if she does not ooze sexyness!
Bucie was my highlight of the show, she made the crowd stand up and dance with her “Ngicelindoda” hit single. She “xozad” me when she asked “Ndiyifumene ke indoda namhlanje?”! She has a beautiful strong voice, I loved her performance. Now I know how the jackal cries like, ithi teleteleteleteletele……… She has the potential to be the new Brenda and Lebo Mathosa! And she can dance, she is so yummy, that blonde hair! It looks like she has become bigger and bigger ever since she made the cover of her cd above. She must be enjoying herself in the industry or sleeping a lot! Anyway don't worry Bucie, Oprah has the same problems, she just gets bigger and bigger, no matter how hard she trys to remain thin!
One other person who seems bigger than before is Lebo Mashile. I like her American accent, I was surprised when I heard her saying something in Sotho, I assumed she was too good for any South African language. I misjudged her and labelled her as a coconut, and I was wrong, that girl is proud of where she comes from and I love her for that! I think she was looking forward to Janet Jackson's weight loss tips book, but to her (and others) dismay, the release of the book was pigeonholed because JJ is becoming bigger and bigger like a blown baloon, which shows that her tips are not working! Anyways, just asking, are we gonna bury you with that Afro?
Ntsiki’s beadwork *sigh*! I love bead work but what she was wearing in the concert was not wow! It was OK! Do you still have the dreadlocks you had in the 20th century? Move with times baby! I was never a fan of poetry, until the rise of Lebo Mashile (nice sexy voice and accent) and Ntsiki Mazwai! It seems like poets have brains, they have a smart way using words, they should teach me, I wanna make people cry after reading my blogs, LOL!
Women, stop going to clubs at night and drink yourself into oblivion! There are vultures out there, they are waiting for victims to take advantage of like you!
A friend of mine was in a club, got a few drinks from a certain guy, then she wakes up in the bushes in the middle of nowhere, she cannot even describe the guy, she does not know what happened to her, but she knows for sure tha someone had sex with her, she does not know how many, she does not know if whether they used a condom or not, but she cannot see one where she was lying, this is sad and it can happen to anyone, please take care women!
