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.
Now, you must be wondering, what does the South African girl, worse one who lives few killometres from the notorious Alexandra Township pics up Chichewa language.
I don't blame you readers for your confusion. I mean, the whole world knows my country, especially the ones of my colour "black" in particular as Xenophobic and hate fellow africans.
Well,to feed your curiocity.During the COVID19 shut down, with majority of churches shut down etc.
My boy and I had the previllage of spending time at the Tebarnacle Church for all Remanats. Down in the township of Cosmo City, Randburg.
The South African church that I attended in Sandton Johannesburg, Rivers Church was of course closed due to COVID19.
During that time, the witches were not sleeping or closed.
They were also so after me and my boy, desperately wanting my property and almost everything I owe including my life.
Two powers were at play, they wanted to prove that they were powerful and the The Witchcraft Suppression Act of 1957 was useless.
There I was, saying over my dead body.
My Jesus and God the creator of heaven and earth is more powerful than your magic.
I mean, he divided the red sea so that Pharoah's men, chariots and army were drawned in the Red Sea.
And, every knee does bow down to the name of Jesus, so bring it ON!.
So for the third time in my life, I was on another property and power battle.
But, I had God by my son and he guided me to TRC amongst the many churches I visited during the lock down.
The people were so friendly, reminded me of the old South African Christian community that used to visit each other.
The lead pastor, Prophet Jonah is Malawian and my boy and I were invited to eat some of the Malawian dishes after church.
We africans have many dishes in common i.e pap, casava leaves.
I also learnt about the other different African dishes.
Also through wedding Mcing ( please watch the wedding video above) I learnt the Malawian traditional dance.
Like all women gathering, we were thrilled to hear the topics during the bridal shower. The does and donts in a marriage, Christian marriage to be specific.
I met some beautiful sisters from across Africa
Please note some of the pics and videos were supplied by the church.

They are probably one of the many unsung heroes of the black community. But for decades now, twin brothers -Thabo and Mpho Putu- had been grooming and supporting many gifted children from the previously disadvantage communities to excel and and make a impact on others. Their aim, is to see these kids grow up to become leaders in various fields including art, politics, sports and other areas that will later benefit South Africa. Through their early 90s programme, Gifted Child Development Programme (GCP) they have produced the likes of Kwaito kingpin Kabelo Mabelane who became one of the members of music group TKZee, SABC3 Isidingo's new director and actor Motlatsi Mafatshe and the current Democratic Alliance (DA) leader, Mmusi Maimane. It is no surprise that in some households they are called deputy fathers as they provide the father figure and guidance to many youth especially those from single parenting homes. I too have felt their extended fatherly love in the 90s. When
Yes, ladies, when the doeks are on fleek! You better wrap it up like your momma taught you. Wear your crown with pride, celebrate who you are and connect with other women who might hold your hand in times of trouble. These are the messages behind Doek on Fleek, the annual women's gathering which seeks to empower women from all walks of life. The third annual Doek on Fleek will be hosted at Moses Madiba Stadium in Durban this August with hit maker Busiswa billed to set the dance floor alight. This is on South African based Women Movement, Doek on Fleek is a brain child of accountant and entrepreneur, Thandi Mavata.

Imbokodo Her smile is so welcoming that one immediately feels at home with her and strike up a conversation. But do not be mistaken, behind that beautiful smile lies scars of hurt, abuse, disappointment and any other pain that might be experienced by any ordinary female South African today. If you talk about being raped,bearing and raising a child from that horrible and painful experience, mama Nandi who played Nandi Sibiya on Zone 14 has gone through that. She believes by portraying such characters on either a theatre play or on screen she deliver a message that she hopes will help another women seating at home watching the drama, telenovela. my groupie moment with mama Nandi At 68 years, and more than four decade in the South African entertainment industry, Mama Nandi can relate to some of the female characters she has portrayed. She says some have either gone through what she has gone through in her own personal life. "Through those experiences I am
