Dear Zookey Mankwali

The church acknowledges your kind gesture with much gratitude. The drum kit is a welcomed addition to our praise and worship experience. Thank you for your kindness and your obedience to the prompting of the Lord.

Our drummer is developing well and just this Sunday we listened to him with pleasure. It has motivated him tremendously and he found a ministry in church that he delights to serve in. Thank you for the wonderful value you added to his life. Beyond the church, his family is appreciative too and indeed the worship team as well.

We hope to meet you sometimes. In the interim, God Bless you richly.

In His service,

Pastor Cedric John

The Day moi found a G-spot...

1st of March 2011 I broke my on air virginity on the SOUND of the CITY baybee: 99.5fm was the new love of my life and as all new loves go: me and Gagasi kept each other ALIVE and awake at the wee hours of the morning or was that night? 

My spot on Gagasi 99.5fm (yes, thats the G-spot I am talking about) was from 10pm - 1am during the week and 6am-10am on Saturday mornings...how did I manage without going grey ? In between that was a business woman, an employee at the premier University of KwaZulu-Natal, a performing artist, a writer, a mother, a lover, a very supportive & in your face aunt & sister and daughther in law and sister in law *breaths in and out slowly*. Now I can gladly say: I am a survivor!

It was a lovely year of CONFESSIONS Monday's and on CHOOSE days we Touched lives. No, not like that silly. It was more appropriate and respectful than any person whose mind is in the gutter would have it be. We'd reach out and (((((hug))))) those who needed to be touched spiritually or those who were feeling down. Zarlings would call in and TOUCH their loved ones who lay in hospital beds or friends who needed encouragement. I always believe that a hug and a handshake is a ONE SIZE FITS ALL phenomena and if you cant shake their hands or hug them, then the Zookey Zone was the place to call, tweet or facebook on a Tuesday night.

Wednesday's we'd fly high and we changed our scope from sight to vision and started looking at things in the eyes of faith and hope. We called the feature: WINGS DAY  and therefore on wings day we'd WISH and share our hopes, dreams, intentions and thoughts and even share testimonies of little victories that make our lives better. Victories such as getting a drivers licence, a promotion, passing a difficult exam, finally breaking up with that abusive lover etc. All grounded on Hebrews 1:1, NOW faith is....

Thursday's saw me being called IQHIKIZA, an elder sister who had the eye and spirit of discernment, knowledge and wisdom when it came to matters of the heart and love. Few lovers got together and yes others had not so exciting n' experience but nonetheless lonely hearts soon became a thing of the past as we shared on what singles could get up to. We shared on various alternative hobbies that could keep singles happy, smiling and not feeling sorry for themselves.

Saturday....aaaah Saturday is when my beauty sleep was cut to an absolute minimum. Since when was I able to hold a conversation without pulling lip at 6am? Oh, Gagasi fm certainly turned me into a morning Saturday baby, a whole new me. My gruff baritone morning voice had no choice but to sing itself  awake or was that spoken word using musical lyrics? #yours truly can't sing to save her life.

Oh well its been a great year, but more than anything, I am an artist at heart. I love culture and inter-cultural relations and all things AFRICAN which means travelling into Africa and around the world promoting our Mzansi culture. I am not sure when that multi-arts & intercultural bug bit me, but I think its blood flows freely in my system and being on STAGE and in theatre houses, on film sets, styling musicians and working out their schedules is worse than dealing with a mother in law, but if you cant run away from the calling, you just dance to it.

With a diary filled with festivals to enjoy: whether as a project manager or artist facilitator, I bid farewell to the Zookey Zone and Sunnyside up Breakfast slots. I love being holistic and if you wanna here about my #celebrate-tea-time-no-chicken-no beef and my #shoot-me-please fashion police moments and other #once-upon-a-timez you better not miss out on the new lifestyle shows coming up on the Sound of the City...woop-woop!

Herewith lay my Gagasi Presenter Profile (does sound like an obituary don't it) :-)

There is NO fire like a Bushfire #wash'umkhukhu!

Oliver Mtukudzi #Zimbawbwe baby

I grew up in Swaziland, Manzini Swaziland, just down the road from the Post Office and I do not miss any opportunity to be posted back to the sugar cane and ever sweet country of absolute regal beauty!

This year’s MTN BUSHFIRE festival, which takes place in Swaziland’s picturesque Malkerns valley from 25 to 27 May 2012, is set to reinforce its reputation as one of Africa’s must-attend arts and music festivals.

A potent Pan-African event with an explosion of live music, theatre, poetry, film, circus acts, dance and visual arts from all over the globe, MTN BUSHFIRE 2012 promises more fire than ever before at the magical House on Fire venue, which is set against a breathtaking rural landscape.

This international celebration of cutting-edge arts and culture is among the premier entertainment events on the kingdom’s calendar, and has blazed a trail on the continent with its progressive and socially responsible mandate.

Nancy G

Arts with a heart
Since its inception in 2007, 6 years ago, MTN BUSHFIRE has become a significant player in boosting and developing Swaziland’s arts and culture scene. In addition to providing employment and generating much-needed revenue for the national economy, through the 16 000 to 20 000 revellers the event routinely attracts, the festival raises awareness and funds for some of the country’s most pressing social needs.

In 2011, MTN BUSHFIRE once again donated all of its profits to the Young Heroes organisation, which provides support for local orphans, and launched the 100% Seriously Swazi showcase for Swazi artists. More than 430 local artists participated in last year’s festival, with over 300 children from schools and youth groups taking part in the inaugural Bushfire Schools’ Festival.

Explains festival director Jiggs Thorne: “Swaziland’s MTN BUSHFIRE festival was founded six years ago in a spirit of cultural exploration. Through our ideals and our actions, we continue to explore and redefine the typical festival formula.

“In doing this we ask questions of ourselves, of artists, and of our audiences: How best do we shape the festival we have created, and what do we want to say? What role should the arts play in our society? How do we become practical dreamers? Exploring these questions defines our festival and is the real spirit that people take away.”

Creative fireworks
A culturally diverse melting pot of musicians and artists from across the continent and beyond will converge on the majestic House on Fire performance site at the end of May – coinciding with Africa Day – to lay out a feast of incredible family friendly entertainment. Visitors can also browse quality hand-crafted goods at the Hand Craft Market, sample local and international cuisine at the Food Fair, and keep the little ones entertained at the KidZone.

The combination of an inspired rural setting, an amazing line-up of world-class talent across four stages, and a commitment to the needs of local communities will set the tone for an enchanting, vibrant, unmissable family-friendly arts fiesta in the heart of the Swazi countryside.

Full details of the music and entertainment line-up will be released shortly.

Tickets for MTN BUSHFIRE International Festival of the Arts are available from the 24th of February 2012 at http://www.oncrm.co.za/references/emailReply?onRN01=bAlu.U3lZCWUqAgvbnRhmJR3R4Wxg475M4yJqAxvZ0lyOC1Fg4ywgixidXg3R4WEg4msbAlu.0lke4W5 .

The fairest of them all...

I moved back to Durban just after the new millenium to work as the Public Relations Director for the 1st Miss India Worldwide in South Africa. This was a competition including 100 girls of Indian decent from around the world. I reckon, I will never go grey again, after keeping my sanity and all my dark black main during that time of Bombay, Johannesburg, negotiations, pre-Madonna's, breyani, curries and all things bling.

I enjoyed every experience and got to work closely with two very special ladies, the then reigning Miss India South Africa and the Miss India Worldwide.  I was sometimes a driver, other times I looked like the security but most of the times I was the mover and shaker who had to facilitate and make things happen. Such fun!! So much sari and panjabi wearing for one township girl from Ntuzuma.

 Some of my duties included networking, school visits, hospital visits, prison visits and introducing the ladies to business and government leaders alike...*takes a bow*. Every African-American coming to South Africa wants to meet Madiba and so it would only be fair that one of my projects include introducing the ladies to this great man who fought for the liberation of our dear rainbow nation: South Africa.

 Sarika the Miss India Worldwide 2001 got married and became a Public Relations Officer and blossomed into the beauty that she always was. Sorisha became a celebrated individual, writing Sunday Paper articles as a journalist, hosted a radio show and left her hospitality industry career and became a soapie opera actor and then a very successful business woman. Everytime I bumped into her, I was in awe of her gregarious and humble character. She never once did a "so who are you?" or "please remind me where I know you from.?"...oooh I have had plenty of those, until the next time the schlep-britty needed a favour.

It's when I did not recognise her because she had become so fair that I started to wonder what happened to my beauty queen. She was on billboards and magazines as a model of her very own brand of soaps and skin lightning creams. This is a phenomena I have seen a lot as I grew up, the only difference is that my mothers generation used a product called He Man, that left their skin with burn like marks and very sensitive to the sun.

I am thee light and I will keep shining in my dark tanned skin thank you. I fear attracting to much attention, that's all. Either way, in the language of all beauty queens, I believe "beauty comes from within" and for the sake of world peace I just rather not be the fairest of them all.

Zungrish (Mixture of Zulu & English) Poetic utterances to ME with love

A craving for personal poetry, or call it the hunger pang of wanting to know what others think of my late night utterings on late night radio lead to this little collection which made after the midnight hour on my facebook page...They have been recorded and sound like the very fragrance of a sincere love affair between lips of a presenter and ear of a listener...

Poetry UNEDITED has never felt this good!

Silent Conversation

He Got up, rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Calm Down! Be Still!" Then the wind stopped blowing and there was a great calm.
Mark 4:39 International standard version.

Even when I feel like I am all alone, I feel comfort in reading scripture that reminds me that, all is well! My faith is my craziest possesion an effervesent that births the greatest of peace and with my peace comes unspeakable joy!...#neveralone.

#sdudla on the move

Every month I get together with a selected few individuals under the banner of SHARING OUR STORIES. Everyone tends to hide behind their mask in real life and learns to survive inspite of the very thorn that is in their flesh.

The past weekend, we exposed the thorn and indeed by grace, got a chance to laugh our heads off, at all that lies beneath our skin. Flabby arms, thunder thighs, pot belly's, love handles and all. We removed the thorn and embraced ourselves, as we are...with a little help from our friend: Derrick Mhlongo of (http://www.iindonimodels.com/).

During Sharing our Stories get togethers we share about anything and everything, really. We turn our backs on embarrasment and put our valaptuos butts on the shame and just open our hearts and minds to share our stories. We believe, well I and those that I share with, believe that sharing our stories enables us to learn from our experiences and in so doing pave a way for a better future.

For the month of February: we got together about good old love and valentines, or the lack of love for some of my friends, but nonetheless we found a reason to celebrate and got some yummy guys to bless us with their music. A round of applause to South African trio: Afro Soul and local poet: Sboh Da Poet.  Those pics can be seen on www.facebook.com/ZarlingZookey.

The past weekend I hosted a #sdudlaonthemove gathering. This is for all the fatabulous Zarlings (listeners of my weekly radio show) . Five is the number of grace and I don't doubt that new friendships were made and self confidence re-built!

Thank you very much to The Benjamin Hotel for hosting us and so many more SHARING OUR STORIES gatherings coming up. Next month we look at touching ourselves. Ooh stop blushing now, its not as if you dont. And that will be in celebrating all those who have survived breast cancer and in thought of those who are diagnosed with breast cancer. I personally will be assisting (http://www.cansa.org.za/) with the Durban leg of the Relay for LIFE which is a 12hour relay at the Moses Mabhidha Stadium. Any company or group can get together by paying R70.00 per person or R1500.00 a group. R1500.00 will allow each group to get a gazebo with chairs and a table, arranged by CANSA (Cancer assosciation of South Africa). You can sell your products in the gazebo, yes-yes, enterprise is good for our economy or you can take a stretch in the gazebo whilst the rest of your group continue relaying around the track. The idea of relaying is to: NEVER GIVE UP. No matter the pain, NEVER GIVE UP!  Theme names, colours and all sorts of dress codes are allowed. I would love you to join my group. Only myself are in the group for now, haha! But, I will love and leave you between 12midnight - 1am, no, I dont get on a broom for goodness sake, get your mind out the gutter. I will hop onto the stage to strengthen all the fable knees and weak souls in the stadium, and why not welcome Fools day? I love April fools. So do know that I will have my fun on that day. The Relay for life is on the 31st of March - 1st April 2012 from six-six.

My funny bone does get the better of me and I will let no monkey in no zoo stop me from laughing and smiling. That serious look does not do justice to my aging self, so please bare with me. #midlifecrisisdoesnotknock
