The 16th instalment of the Thabo Mbeki Africa Day Lecture. If you are an events producer and curator you will understand how fulfilling it is when the vision finally comes to life. I am grateful to have been entrusted with this important project for five consecutive years. Equally grateful to the leadership and teams from the Thabo Mbeki Foundation and UNISA who are the engines behind this machine. I consider myself a very lucky service provider to have you as clients. As the week long Africa Day activities that boasted five high impact programs and events draws to a close, my heart is filled with joy and gratitude. Thank you for choosing me. 🎥 Thabo Mbeki Foundation

A former learner of JS Skhenjane in Dutywa has taken to social media, naming two teachers as rapists who prey on learners. She says this is an open secret, and many have corroborated her story on TikTok. What then is the role of law enforcement, department of education and social services? Do they sit back and wait until a formal case is opened; knowing full well that many of these evil men target children from poor families who can be silenced with as little as R200? When allegations of child abuse surface, aren’t police duty-bound to conduct proactive investigations? Or are we once again expected to wait for white-led NGOs to step in to lead. Please don’t CYRILISE the closing line. PS. Of course black men won’t be outraged by this. It is obviously not as serious an issue as some piece of legislation that permits those men who choose to take the surnames of their wives.

An honour to have been entrusted with the responsibility to emcee and moderate a panel discussion at the Inaugural South African Engineering Symposium. We took stock and examined The Role of Voluntary Associations in Enhancing the Employability and Professional Positioning of Engineering Practitioners.

What an anointing. Very few can pitch, belt and emote like he does. May this be the beginning of a solid career that shall see him flourish and prosper beyond his imagination. His name is Sphe Khuluse. Remember this name. He kinda got me teary-eyed. We appreciate great talent.

In 2019, businessman and brother Paul Siguqa, son of a former Cape Winelands farm worker, Nomaro-ma Siguqa, acquired Klein Goederust, a 10-hectare farm in the heart of the Franschhoek Valley, making Klein Goederust the first 100% Black-owned wine farm in the valley. To stay true to his cultural heritage, but also to respect and honour Klein Goederust’s history, he retained the farm’s name, which dates back to 1905 when the farm was established, but added his IsiXhosa identity to the name by adding the Southern Ground Hornbill (the clan/family crest totem of Paul Siguqa) to the logo.

It remains my fervent hope this incredibly talented duo would treat us to yet another delicious treat. There’s that undeniable Toni Braxton and Baby Face musical connection between these two. The knd of magic only the two of them are capable of unleashing. Busi still remains high up there with the world’s reigning queens in vocal house. That range, depth and hypnotic sultry is a rare find. Busi is not a whisperer. Busi SINGS! Black Coffee #REBIRTH👑 ndithetha nani makwedini. You owe us. Buyelani estudio.

Thank you Nigel Branken. As she is busy with her campaign trail. The questions below should be posed to Helen Zille each time she opens her mouth: I asked Johannesburg Mayoral Candidate, Helen Zille a simple question last night... First: when will she finally call this what it is? GENOCIDE! How many more dead children, how many more starving families, how many more bombed hospitals, before she finds the moral courage to say the word genocide? Second: the claim that we must all sit quietly until the ICJ gives a final ruling is nonsense. The genocide convention requires we act to prevent genocide. The ICJ has already acted because the rights protected under the Genocide Convention were plausibly at risk. Amnesty International has called it genocide. Human Rights Watch has documented extermination and acts of genocide. The International Association of Genocide Scholars has said it is genocide. It is genocide - we MUST name it and act to prevent it. ... and Third: the DA keeps telling us they can do nothing and that South Africa cannot influence what is happening. That is also nonsense. They can support the South African ICJ court case. They can support sanctions. They can support stopping coal exports. They can support the prosecution of South Africans serving in the IDF. They can choose to stand on the side of the oppressed instead of pretending powerlessness. And how did she respond? Basically this: South Africa is busy with its own great kumbaya project, we cannot influence the rest of the world, and what matters most is that we work on our project. In other words, our diversity becomes an excuse for silence while Palestinians are bombed, starved and erased.

This afternoon I rushed straight from facilitating @saculturalobservatory’s two day International Conference in CPT to Jhb to moderate a critical conversation on Ethics in the Built Environment. The intellectual calibre and brain trust on this panel was exceptional. We had: • Vishaal Lutchman — Group CEO, GIBB Holdings • Professor Mandla Makhanya — Commissioner, Public Service Commission & Former UNISA Vice-Chancellor • Sekadi Phayane-Shakhane — CEO, SAICE • Kris Dobie — Senior Manager: Organisational Ethics, The Ethics Institute We were welcomed by Mr. Friedrich Slabbert, SAICE member since 1980 and now President, followed by Mr. Ryan Males, Vice-President for Civil Engineering at DRA Global. The keynote was delivered by none other than Mr. Nazir Alli, Founding CEO of SANRAL. The discussion was robust, reflective, and at times appropriately uncomfortable as conversations about ethics must be. I am grateful to SAICE for trusting me to steer this important dialogue, and to the audience for their thoughtful engagement and presence. I leave this space fuller, challenged, and hopeful. My name is Luphumlo Ngcayisa. The conversation starter. I get the job done.

At a round table discussion hosted by the Thabo Mbeki Foundation about a month ago. I get a text that reads ‘dude, where are you, come back, Chief is looking for you.’ In my head I’m thinking hayi bo according to the program, the old man should still be on the podium mos, what could he possibly want from me. I rush back to the conference room. Kanti all he wants is for me to use my own discretion in deciding on who, among the 30 odd people in the room gets a copy of these stats since he only had 9 copies at his disposal. The entire audience burst into laughter, myself included. To me, being summoned for this random task registered as a wonderful, warm, affirming moment. It was an ‘hey you rebel of a nonconformist, I see and acknowledge your efforts. You matter.’ I live for such moments. It is marvellous being affirmed and validated both in private and in public. You feel loved and needed. Being loved and needed is empowering and inspiring. As we enter into this new month of May with its possibilities and challenges that lie ahead, may you develop a habit of affirming and validating others. We are no different from children. We thrive when validated and affirmed. P.S By the way, when I’m not busy gyrating on the streets or coordinating celebratory events; I produce and project manage conferences, roundtable discussions and symposiums. We oscillate between frivolity and sensibility. Very dynamic and gifted this one of Luphumlo. A fantastic resource he is 😜
