Cassper has really influenced the entertainment industry for a decade!!! From a braided pony tail thing to filling up unfilled venues to epic alcohol deals to merch shop to owning alcohol to major shoe deals to reimaging boxing... he is an icon! Just accept it!
In your 20s, 30s and onwards, your friends are starting to lose very close relatives. My generation finds itself not being sure how to help when tragedy strikes. Here are some practical things you can do to be of service to a friend in need during funeral preps... a thread:

in His love & to give them the peace they so desperately need 2get through this VERY difficult time. It’s all very confusing &hard.
The night before a funeral when all the aunties and cousins are outside the kitchen or in the garage... the laughter and the chats... sad as the occasion is, Black families have the best coping mechanisms...and laughter is one of them.

Teachers being the ghost artists behind all the cute Mother’s Day art is really the most unsung thing. All those painted hand print and finger print flowers and stuff… my goodness teachers really should be the highest paid professionals in any country!
My one friend got admitted as an advocate, my other one moved into her new house (A BIG HOUSE), my other one bought a new car, my other one got a promotion at work, my other one got hired. Heyyyyyyyyyyy 😭❤️
I was exactly like this… until I got called out for it by the team and people were leaving the company. I started going for therapy to understand myself better and where this projection comes from. It’s been one hell of a work in progress. I’m not perfect, but I’m definitely…

I’ve come out of lockdown an executive producer of a show, a tenant at a newly refurbished office, an employer to new employees, un-engaged and closer to my roots.
I’ve never been happier than I am at this exact moment.
God’s plan 🙏🏽❤️

Chats coming out of people at Duma and I’m proud as if they’re my siblings 😭❤️
One of my team members (Duma employee) asked to see me yesterday for a quick meeting to tell me he’s actively looking for a job...
Here’s how I reacted to an employee of 2 years telling me he’s using resources in my company to look for a job elsewhere...

Also his family is dead wrong for not telling her or her family. That’s the type that could kill her, bury her and help her family look for her body. Nope. She had to end it.
The ONLY person that spoke on the promo is Bonang???? Yet she’s not the only new addition to the cast??!!!
I don’t care who says what…Bonang is a master of branding! She gets it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve worked on the SAMAS as a creative consultant before (3 times working with 3 different production companies) and here my recommendations on how to fix the SAMAS…

My baby brother is 21!!! My housemate, my best friend, my favourite relative, the best cricket player I know... I used to write this guy letters for school when he wanted to get out of swimming class and now he’s old enough to be called an adult!

A partner that is supportive, encouraging, kind with his time and his resources, reassuring, measured, cultured, damn cool, friendly and godfearing… that’s one of my greatest blessings. I’m so grateful for this man.

There’s an incredible woman named Lulu of Namasaya Creations … working on the refurb of the Duma Collective office
She started last week & this is the progress thus far ❤️😭😱
We’re moving into our new home in Jan. Can’t wait 🙆🏽♀️
My older sis sent a message in the group saying she’s tired and she’d like to spend tomorrow taking care of herself and resting and my mom said “rest baby girl, you deserve it”. ❤️ I love my parents and how they consistently encourage us to decide what’s best for ourselves.
Once upon a time, I was in a relationship with someone and my dad could see it was just not working out for either of us.
We don’t have the kind of relationship where we can just talk about boys but in his own way, he was giving me the permission (which I thought I needed) to…
Nomzamo has dreamt of this role for a very very very long time. She was asked in an interview many years ago what her dream role was and she said Queen Nandi. Look and see what the Lord has done.
What a powerful testimony

I don’t care if my optimism comes across as me being naive. Ngihlala ethembeni… it’s my survival tactic. My defence mechanism. The reason I’m still alive.
I get this! My dad took me into boardrooms for meetings with people high up & to his gun shop and to his security company with his hundreds of staff members. My mom took me to her 9-5 at GCIS. Both experiences opened my world to me being the founder-led business owner I am today.

God has just unlocked a whole nother level of my business... I’m about to work my butt off. 😭🙌🏽😭 I’ve been praying for this for 4 years and it’s finally happening.
Gods promises are yes and amen! 🙏🏽 So many people are going to benefit. I’m certain I’m working my purpose
I think DBN Gogo is one of the coolest girls on social media. She never misses. Her look and feel, her captions, her commentary and her fan engagement is top tier. Cum Laude level.

We’ve been in the same house the whole day... 9 hours of lap top and phone...umuntu nomuntu in their own corner... so our way of spending time together is cooking together 🥰 Just Us... in the kitchen ❤️
Lol uhmmm…yes. And we repeat bond repayments, and car instalments, and insurance policies, and school fees, and allowances for siblings and cousins, and medical aid payments, and back up power instalments and dstv and WiFi and and and.
Ofcourse we repeat outfits.
I was running a 2/3 person show and now we have 42 permanent people 🥶
I’m responsible for 42 salaries a month 🥲 … EVERY SINGLE MONTH. 42 lives.
A blessing first but a massive challenge I never knew I had it in me to face.
To every client we’ve ever had...
To every supplier we’ve ever worked with...
I and all the team members

White kids will be one year apart. All four of them. Wena osare otsena high school motswadi are one for wena 😭 now you’re 16 years older than your sister.
To all those still working today...and tomorrow...and on the wknd and next week and on new years day and boom the 3rd is the first Monday of a new year...masi nga phel'umoya. Our sacrifices now are going to pay off one day. Wishing you all strength and power to get through it.
One of the more significant things I’m getting from the Pabi M story is that the good sis has beeeeen making money!!!! As a media practitioner she has amassed quite the estate. Good on her for having staying power and being able to make good investments in a very tough industry.

My big sister buys me eggs & doesn’t like it when I call with my own airtime so she doesn’t answer then immediately calls me back. She’s 17 years older than me & it still tickles my heart to walk into my house and find a grocery that my deputy mom has bought me ❤️

Travel to other countries in Africa and see why you shouldn’t vote for green, black and gold. Power hungry greedy politicians who have no regard for the sustainable development of a country for the benefit of its citizens…SA is headed there quick & fast & it sucks to experience.

We grew up watching our older siblings, parents and other relatives do this exact sort of thing for their friends and neighbors... sadly... it’s our time now.
Let’s love each other even if it takes us out of our way. ❤️

I’ve had burgers in Dubai, London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Lagos, Bremen, Milan, Bali and other cities.
After the one I just had in Linden... JHB... I don’t ever wanna eat a burger anywhere else ever again. The bun melts on your tongue like an eet-sum more 😩

Guys!!! When Black people who work in corporate give you a chance as a small business they have fought to “put on”... DONT 👏🏽 DISAPPOINT 👏🏽 THEM!!! Don’t waste a chance to make them and you famous in the building! Always put your best foot forward! PLEASE 🙏🏽
I’ve bagged 3 major clients during Lockdown and I’m taking as many Black freelancers and Black owned agencies with me for the ride. Also, I’ve prioritized women.
I’m doing my own W.E.E and B.E.E so that I can’t be told it’s not possible... I’m here showing people it is! ❤️
I wanna have a big house so all my nieces and nephews and cousins who don’t live in Joburg can easily accept jobs or come to school this side cos they have a nice and comfortable place to stay until they’re able to go fully independent.
That’s what I’m working towards next.…
The dealership really knew what they were doing when they signed him up as a sales person.
Look at all this free PR Lindsay Saker Midrand has received over this 🤣🔥
I would have all the time in the world for a graduation like this. I don’t care if it starts at 08:00 and ends at 20:00… the experience of pride after the years of blood, sweat and tears being suppressed into a moment of a 5seconds bow is the most boring thing about grad.
God’s delay is not God’s denial... it’s taken almost 12 months for me to become a home owner! EVERY BANK denied me a bond but then Sharron Radebe and Vuyelwa Nyangule
