Vaccinated today, while I’m thankful I’m not celebrating. My sister died of COVID-pneumonia last week. If our govt got us vaccines earlier and or even inoculated people with co-morbidities first, she might be alive today. Alive to love her three young children. R.I.P sis 💔

I’ve just received texts from someone saying they’ve been approached at a hostel to carry out a hit on me. He says it’s linked to my job and that I must watch my back wherever I go. I’m not sure if this is a real threat or a scam but how can I possibly live like this.
If you understood TV news a little better, you’d know I waited for us to verify before asking you anything on Da Gama being elected Speaker. As soon as we took the breaking news strap I asked you about it. Also I’m not one of your DA workers who you can tell what to ask and when.
Interesting how our TV news broadcasters are quite unable to keep up with a breaking news story.
While history is being made by elections that go completely against the run of play, they want to interview me about whether someone felt slighted in negotiations. Come on

Wanting the brand to be proudly South African, Lenyora is Sesotho and fittingly means thirst in English, hence the tagline: “The thirst is real.”
Interestingly, Lenyora, in South African slang can also mean ‘boss’ or ‘top dog’.
Sad to see people die of

that at least 120-thousand people are unable to go to work this week because of the destruction and looting that took place. That's 120-thousand families that now might not have food. Bloody sad!
It’s a sad reality that hardworking people suffer today because of years of poor decisions & corruption at the top. People who brought the SABC back to glory after those managers left the building with fat payouts, are jobless because of them. Hayi... life 😞

This is what happens when our govt is too polite to close our borders, yet it’s so easy for others to shut us out. “South Africa confirmed today that 2 variants of concern. These are:
B.1.1.7 (first detected in the UK)- 11 cases. B.1.617.2 (first detected in India)- 4 cases.”
God has gained a fierce, powerful woman who stood for accountability & hard-hitting journalism. Karima Brown was my cheer leader when I challenged politicians about corruption & poor service delivery. We’ll continue to push hard, in honour of what Karima stood for. RIP
