It seems the era of proudly showing off a round belly, known as an 'mkhaba' is surely coming to an end. Hot on the heels of SA music stars such as J'Something,K.O and Proverb ditching the shisanyama for a more refined diet consisting of fruits, vegetables and lean meat - Casper Nyovest, real name Refiloe Phoolo has followed suit. He has enjoyed a prominent year with hits such as Gusheshe which has been a hit in South African society. He said that losing abit of weight help him fit the stereo type of rappers being muscular.I believe that  Casper if the carries on in this fashion will not only be known nationally but globally as well because of his ever rising reputation on the hip hop scence




Nkandla #BringBackTheMoney

The Ins and outs Nkandla 


President Jacob Zuma.
Using government money to build a mansion while your country is struggling economically and the poverty rates are increasing, is a very irresponsible move to make President Jacob Zuma. 

President Zuma during parliament.
The citizens of this country have elected the president to be a leader and bring about change in the current state that this country is in. Instead of improving the economy or building schools or providing proper health care for the rural places in this country, our president decides to spend millions on a huge mansion. As if the benefits that government leadership receives isn't already enough and highly unnecessary, the president still feels the need to be in a more luxurious environment while most of his people still live in shacks.

I personally think that he is taking advantage of the position that he’s been given and is not fulfilling the duties that is expected of him. Instead of improving the circumstances of the citizens of South Africa, the president has managed to build an empire for himself that allows him to live like a king while his people are hungry, uneducated, homeless and hopeless. Bear in mind that these people are part of the reason for where he is today.

South Africans should all stand together to make sure that the money that was stolen from hardworking taxpayers, by the ‘leader’ himself, will be paid back in full. We are being bullied and treated like idiots by our own government, a system that is meant to look out for us and build us. 

The Famous Nkandla House
If we allow these kinds of situations to happen in our country without a fight, we should basically stop expecting corruption to end when the biggest culprit is the person we call our president. If action is not taken upon the president for this disgusting deed, I urge people to rethink whether we’re living in democratic justice system or whether we’re lead to believe that we are.South Africa stand up for yourself and see when you’re being fooled!

The Nkandla report trended on twitter for quite some time. showing you that social media played a big ole in letting South Africans know what their President was up to.

Million Dollar Nkandla


The final costs of Nkandla are is a staggering amount of R246 million, but is believed to be higher. The original cost was R27 million, but this increased dramatically after Zuma’s private architect worked on it., Minenhle Makhanya, was appointed by the department of public works.

 He often recommended more luxurious and expensive options instead of going with the cheaper options and made R16.5 million (calculated as a percentage of costs) from the Nkandla project. Zuma should of acted when the Mail & Guardian blew the whistle in 2009 on the R65 million the project cost at that time.
