Bonang the face of Revlon.

You have to love how this young lady Bonang Matheba, 25, pushes her brand and leaves haters still hating on her for being the IT GIRL. She was announced as the first South African brand ambassador for Revlon.The DJ and TV presenter joins the likes of US actresses Olivia Wilde, Halle Berry and Emma Stone as an ambassador of the cosmetic brand.

A billboard featuring Matheba was apparently unveiled in Braamfontein, Johannesburg.

Watch the space, i have a feeling Bonang still has more surprises in store for us.

Maasai Cricket Warriors

Maasai Wrriors Batting Through Obstacles


I have always been fascinated by the Maasai tribe which is deeply rooted in Kenya, like many people out there i didnt know much about their tribe or culture. I liked them beacause of the height and how they love to jump, silly right! but i came across an article about the youth of the Maasai tribe who are cricket players trying to raise awareness in the community about differnt social issues like HIVand Female genital mutilation.




The Maasai Warriors from the Laikipia region in Kenya are using cricket development as a vehicle to empower the youth and to target social problems in order to bring about positive change in their communities.

FREEDOM CHARTER

TODAY IN HISTORY

 The ANC saw the need for a clear statement on the future of South Africa as the country struggled for freedom in the early fifties. The idea of a Freedom Charter was born, and the Congress of the People Campaign was initiated.During this campaign the ANC and its allies invited the whole of South Africa to record their demands so that they could be incorporated in a common document. Thousands of people participated in the campaign and sent in their demands for the kind of South Africa they wished to live in. The demands of the people conceptualised what is in the Freedom Charter today.


On 25 and 26 June 1955 the three thousand delegates who gathered at Kliptown were workers, peasants, intellectuals, women, youth and students of all races and colours. The Congress of the People showed that this gathering and standing up together would prove to be remembered in the history of South Africa. It adopted the Freedom Charter, a vision for a united, non-racial and democratic South Africa.

American R&B star Puff Johnson, has reportedly died on June 24, 2013 after long battle with cervical cancer. She was 40 years old.
Born in Detroit, she emerged on the music scene with the singles Forever More and Over & Over, which appeared on the soundtrack of the film The First Wives Club.
She released her album, Miracle, in 1996. In 1997 Johnson toured Europe as an opening act for Michael Jackson which was probably the biggest highlight of her music career to date.
She had not released any further material thereafter, but she lived in mzansi from 2009 only to be deported in 2010 due to not having proper documents. This is yet another blow and loss to the music industry but her music will live on in many of her fans hearts. May she rest in peace.
