Image
Woman #2 on my top 2 Woman worth celebrating in Swaziland. I catch up with the fastest female in Swaziland,  Phumlile Ndzinisa. The 24 year old young Swaziland was representing Swaziland at the 2016 Olympics games in Brazil. Due to an injury she came 5th in the 2016 Olympics qualifiers. They are due back in the country on the 25th of August through King Mswati III International Airport.  This was during the Commonwealth games.  Thank-you for allowing me the opportunity to celebrate you as a woman in the sports field.  :) Tell me how you got to the 2016 Olympics.  Nothing was easy but I have been training for it. I started Athletics 2009 where I discovered  I can be better than what I was before. In 2010, Swaziland hosted zone 6 games where I won a bronze medal in 400m event. This is when I realised that maybe I can do better and win. Have you always dreamed of the life you have now? I never dreamed that I can be the person I am now but ...

She owns the stage!  #1 - T he 22 year old Mandy Ginindza is a Public Relations Student at Limkokwing University of Creative Technology. She is no ordinary young lady as she has set herself apart from others by being the 1st female comedian in Swaziland. I always tell her that I support her dream and I am such a groupie! She is amazing and whenever she in on stage, she shines. Hi Mandy! Thanks for taking this interview.

Sfiso Ncwane drops versatile album.  S'fiso Ncwane's new album  I received the CD yesterday afternoon from Pamela Zwane, Ncwane Communications representative in Swaziland. I am grateful and happy that she chose my blog as one of the media platforms to write about this powerful CD.  My CD   The multi-platinum selling Gospel sensation, S'fiso Ncwane, has been touched by God to offer his fans, supporters and Gospel lovers another power packed album.   Sfiso Ncwane is about to elevate the game. His diverse 17 track album titled "Wethembekile Baba" consists of several genres not commonly known in the gospel industry.

Conquered SIBEBE for Gugu Zulu (in remembrance)

May Gugu Zulu rest in peace.  Gugu Zulu and his lovely wife Letshego in one of the last images together.  H is death touched me deeply as I felt sad for his wife and daughter. I remember praying that night for God to comfort them for such a loss. Their adventure couple life inspired me to live life fearlessly and enjoy it while at that.  Hiking is one of my hobbies, I do not hike as often as I could due to schedule differences between my hiking buddies and I. In the past 3 years I have hiked 3 mountains and number of times each. These are Lidwala, Sibebe and Sidwashini Mountains which stretch to Hawane. When I saw the advert for this year's Sibebe Survivor challenge I was glad, this was an opportunity to pay tribute for Gugu Zulu.  I planned to hike and conquer Sibebe in remembrance of Gugu Zulu’s adventure life. Me on top of Sibebe Rock. The hike took place yesterday (07 August 2016), I joined the thousands of people with...
