A Night with Feli Nandi at Hard Rock Café, Sandton

 Yesterday I attended Feli Nandi's show at Hard Rock Café in Sandton, Johannesburg — and what a night it was. The show was epic. Just when we thought the legacy of voices like Chiwosino Maraire was gone, Feli reminded us that the genre lives on.  https://x.com/NandiFeli?t=p7yxFWzqtvHM6HD13b-QPg&s=08 Feli Nandi is the real deal. The woman is good — her voice, her energy, her ever-smiling presence lit up the whole stage. She’s a true people’s person. The crowd fed off her vibe and she gave it right back.

Some were dressed traditionally, proudly showing off culture. I remember one couple in matching colors — it was beautiful to see. Feli herself was dressed in white, glowing under the lig...

AT LONG LAST

I love you with all my heart Wishes are crippling my mind My soul wants the best for you For you bring light into my life You bring happiness Your presents always give me comfort During tough times and times of joy. I have adopted myself to you And God has always filled my cup with water. Enhancing a flourishing way of life Whose graph is always at the pinnacle? The top most, we cherished. Time and time has passed, The dry North Westerly winds has blown through With its inland temperatures, dry without moisture. Engulfing the whole surrounding Leaving my cup dry, I felt like am in a desert. Totally dry with nowhere to seek refuge. The wind has gone with all l had Leaving me in the darkness, no love, no happiness Nor the comfort I use to enjoy. Deep inside my heart l am burning, l pray to God For they say his will shall prevail and in him my cup will be filled again. Hello my love, hello my darling hello hello hello……………….. I wish if the...

The events unfold in a very fast and violent  manner which no-one will be prepared for. Its so traumatic, horrific and in some cases individuals end up loosing their lives.  l realized that these individuals who carry out such bad things works with someone who either will be seeing you close by or else you will be drinking on the same counter in a bar and he is relaying the information to those waiting for you outside. It's so unfortunate that some people that we meet are not there for the social life that you go for. They are on a mission to take you down.
