TOPIC OF THE WEEK

I am excited to introduce to you Hlonolofatso Blessing Mncube who is the new face of our "TOPIC OF THE WEEK" page. Mzansi has so much talent and i am in awe.

I 've gotta admit, what's a blog without a twist or a new spin on it? So i decided to add a new twist to the Blog and dedicate a page that is all about current and trending issues. This page will be dedicated to all that is happening in Mzansi and who else to keep you updated, none other than Hloni.

Hloni is a curious being (like all journalist)..lol and she loves writing as well as giving tips when she can about Fashion, Music etc. She comes from a small town called Botshabelo in the Free State. She has four sisters and one brother. She is currently studying Media and Journalism at Damelin College in Braamfontein and this is her final year. For someone who thought she was a Lawyer in the making , she certainly has taken a different turn in her career choice. 

Since Hloni loves writing and i love giving young people opportunities to grow. It was a perfect match. I could not deny her this opportunity to write away. Check out her weekly articles on the the new page "TOPIC OF THE WEEK" . Don't miss out. This page will be all be all about is hot, trending and definitely worthy of your attention. WELCOME Hloni!!!

FIRM BREASTS

I get all kinds of questions on my fan mail and one that has been asked quite frequently is: "How come your breasts are so perky and firm"? I always find it funny because I never thought  girls actually pay attention to that but I also find it great that more and more girls and women are looking for healthier ways to look and feel younger. Now if you know me you know that I don't like taking the easy way out. I like results BUT prefer achieving them the RIGHT way!

#GETTHEMSOMESHOES

To be a vulnerable child living in South Africa is a path filled with many challenges. According to the Department of Basic Education there are over 7 million children in South Africa living without shoes. This is a huge number and you and i can be a part of this and help make a change.Many children walk far distances to school every day without wearing any shoes. 

“A pair of shoes are a basic item that everyone requires, a life without shoes can damage a school-goers self-esteem and hamper their learning ability,” says Nicola Vogel

(Communications and Fundraising Manager at Adopt-a-School).

Zando.co.za, together with its partners:

• BizCommunity 

• Build A Bear Workshop®

• CourierIT

• Dialogue 

• Infidels have setup a national campaign to drive awareness and donate shoes to Adopt-a-School.

The campaign called www.getthemsomeshoes.co.za will launch on Thursday the 4^th of April 2013 and end on the 30^th of June 2013.Three travelling bears will embark on a three month adventure to raise awareness and encourage sign-ups.

Each bear will start its journey in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. The campaign is supported by ambassadors Freshly Ground, Tarryn Kay (AKA TK from Goodhope FM), Terence Pillay (East Coast Radio), Franco Human (Guy in the Green Shorts), Weza Solange (TV host and Actress), Thabo September (Supersport United FC Captain), Jadene Tager (Radio presenter) and welcomes anyone who would like to adopt the initiative and spread the word.

For every 30 unique sign-ups, one pair of shoes will be donated to a child in need. Signing up is really easy, anyone over the age of 18 can visit www.getthemsomeshoes.co.za or SMS their Name and Email address to the Shortcode 37511 (at a cost of R1/SMS).

MZANSI MAGIC "Isibaya" LAUNCH

As you know Inkaba is coming to an end. It was truly a remarkable journey for me and i am a bit sad it's over while in the same breath i am happy that opportunities are limitless from now on.

Mzansi Magic has decided to give us another dose of Drama and get us hooked on our screens by producing another Telenovela. As a Mzansi Magic fan i was excited to be part of their "Isibaya" Launch. Isibaya is the new Telenovela that will be gracing our screens on DStv very soon. With an amazing cast of renowned actors and actresses such as Siyabonga Twala famous for his roles in Soaps such as Scandal as well as his character as "Paul Mashaba" in Generations and the likes of Thembi Nyandeni famous for her role as "Selina" in Zone 14 , and Mampho Brescia from Jacob's Cross.

The launch was nothing i have ever seen before, apart from the speeches, the photographers, the company and the great food, the Isibaya Launch gave us a unique tour of the Soap's cast in action. I swear it was like being literally in the Soap itself. The aggressiveness of the taxi drivers , the rural housewives, to the ambiance of the traditions that this Zulu family in Isibaya is trying to uphold. WOW!! 

The venue could not have been more spectacular.The Launch was hosted in Protea Glen, Soweto. We were given a personalized tour of the late taxi owner Godfrey Moloi's house which is where Isibaya will be shot for the next 8 months. You just have to catch Isibaya when it goes live on air to see how exquisite the decor in that house is. We were all in awe and Bomb Shelter went all out for this. My personal favourite was the decor on the couches around the venue were the celebs, Media and all guests were hosted for the night. They had these Mzansi Magic branded scatter cushions in Black and Gold. 

Isibaya is produced by Bomb Shelter Productions. Congratulations guys!!!!

I can't give away much about what will be happening in Isibaya. Isibaya will be on our TV screens on the 18th of March 2013 on Mzansi Magic at 20.30 .

FACE YOUR FEARS (change your ATTITUDE)

We have this thing in Angola(where I'm from) where it doesn't matter what month it is, if you are seeing someone for the first time that year you always say HAPPY NEW YEAR... It's think it's a nice gesture. I know its been a while since I last posted. I also know that we are well into February but I think I can still say... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Now let me get back on track.I chose to allow myself sometime to breathe and look into what each challenge of 2012 meant as well as appreciate my achievements. I  needed to take a step back, regroup, and plan ahead. I was feeling a little uninspired.

Well, after a LOT of PRAYER and self reflection I finally came to the realization that there is no one but ME holding me back and that this year I am going to CHANGE MY ATTITUDE.I know that this is starting to sound like a page from a self help book, but the truth is, if you are not happy with any area of your life, then GET OFF your lazy ass and do something about it!! NO ONE can change your situation BUT YOU.

 If you try and fail, TRY AGAIN, the biggest LOSER is the one that doesn't try at all. Now say it with me: I CAN DO ANYTHING THAT I PUT MY MIND, HEART AND SOUL INTO.No more taking the easy road.So if you are one of those people, that like me, was feeling uninspired and frustrated.Then CHANGE your attitude TODAY!

Let us do it together. 

Post what's frustrating you. What's keeping you from taking the NEXT step. I'm no expert in all life matters, but I'll  give myself a chance and let this be the year where i face my fears and overcome them. Let's get out of our comfort zone and try new things... What have we got to lose? At least, there WILL BE CHANGE.
