Wtf🤦🏾‍♂️

Okay, so it's Friday night and I'm doing the whole Tyler Perry sitting at the Tarven updating the quintesential blog. I'm drinking and swore I would never use the term #SBWL... the web has got me. But I prefer to use it as in the friendly: "SIPS BEER WITH LAUGHTER"... I feel Black-ish🙈

She's that rare thing!


In the frame: Melusi, Camera guy Thandiswa & Helen

Action location: Mbali Podcast with Helen at  Braamfontein's J&B Hive;)

When you wake up on a Sunday morning and you feel like listening to some jazz, the best album to feed your craving has to be Thandiswa Mazwai's BELEDE album.

Her voice coats the instruments like honey over a decadent treat. So at the J&B Hive she was talking all things #BongoMaffin, #Zabalaza and #Belede. I asked her a question about what she thinks about people that say she's not relevant anymore as she... and I quote these misinformed beings...: "doesn't make money anymore..."

So hold up, Thandiswa makes #BongoMaffin money internationally might I add, she makes #Zabalaza moola, she makes #Thandiswa money from solo acts all over the world with big name collaborations. She then turns you out and still makes #Belede money in and around Africa and overseas... that's a lot of zeros, Thandi!

When she answered the question she answered it with a humble "I'm not doing it for the fame"... 
So if you ever doubted Thandiswa's skills, check your facts first!

We bow down to you King Tha🖤


Yeah, no... let's just chill
