 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.

  It seems like people have been so busy discussing possible designs for the upcoming Ferrari Purosangue SUV that we forget about an essential aspect, which is performance. There’s little point in trying to speculate what it will look like, seeing as how all the prototypes we’ve spotted in the wild have been wearing Maserati clothing. 2022 Ferrari Purosangue SUV Will Take the Urus’ Lunch Money and Here’s Why 19 Feb 2021, 16:18 UTC ·  by  Sergiu Tudose   Home  >  News  >  Coverstory Right now, we’re a lot more intrigued about what might be powering those test mules because Ferrari is in a privileged position regarding the Purosangue.
