Muli bwanji everybody and welcome to my blog this week. Ok, I know you wondering what the word Muli bwanji means hehehe. Yha, nhe! If you don't mingle with the people from the other countries in the dark Continent of Africa...I guess you will never know. But luckily for you my wonderful and beautiful readers, your intellegent girl from South Africa has got your back. Yes, I mean the same girl who spent years in Alexandra Township and gooi a Tsotsi Taal daar n daar. Muli bwanji is saying hallo in Chichewa language.This language is spoken mostly in Malawi and a recognised minority in Zambia and Mozambique.

Hey guys, Hope you enjoyed the last read as I have enjoyed bonding with Alexandra Township these past two weeks. I mean, one of the Sundays. Moa and son bump into a colourful, jubilant community of Alex last Sunday in high spirit as I visited the old man of kraal.

I was also going through a lot and didn't know where the hatred came from. I mean, I've always been a nice girl raised up in church and have all mannners in check. So who would dare touch me? A God loving woman, prayerful woman? A multi-award-winning journalist whose work has been published in Ilizwi, Herald,Sowetan, Sunday Times and even had a stint in the Mail and Guardian's Amabhungane investigative journalist centre. I mean, I am a South African legend in this industry. A veteran of the struggle and I can sniff and root out a corrupt company, government officials etc a miles away. I am a trained but now self appointed country...
