Some men love women of another race. Get over it!!!!

Love across the divide: interracial relationships growing in                                       South Africa
Romance is breaking down racial barriers in South Africa with a sharp rise in interethnic marriage and relationships in the last decade but white people remain the most segregated.
                                

The SA is becoming a racial melting pot with a surge in the number of relationships and marriages across ethnic dividing lines in the last decade, according to official figures but while the number of people from black, Asian and mixed-race backgrounds settling down with someone from another group have all risen, white people remain by far the most segregated on the domestic front. 
The mixed-race population is also much younger than the wider population – almost half are under 16 compared with only 19 per cent overall.

Overall almost one in 10 people living in South Africa are married to or living with someone from outside their own ethnic group, the analysis from the Office for National Statistics shows.But the overall figure conceals wide variations. Only one in 25 white people have settled down with someone from outside their own racial background.
 By contrast 85 per cent of people from mixed-race families have themselves set up home with someone from another group.
People from an African background are five and a half times as likely to be in a mixed relationship as white people, while those of Indian ancestry are three times as likely.
Age is the crucial factor with those in their 20s and 30s more than twice as likely to be living with someone from another background as those over 65, reflecting a less rigid approach to identity over time.But the figures also shows marked differences in attitudes to outsiders within different communities – often reflected in the whether people are married or cohabiting.
For example, in the Benoni community, those who are cohabiting are seven times more likely to be with someone from another background as those who are married.
It suggests that cultural barriers still make it more difficult for those in inter-ethnic relationships to formalise their status by marriage.
But the fact that those in mixed relationships are overall 50 per cent more likely to be cohabiting than married also reflects the shift away from marriage among younger people.
The contrast between white people and other communities echoes the findings of the Social Integration Commission, a study published earlier this week, which showed that white people are the least integrated with other groups in their social lives.

Finger print 5 is a unique and lively band which started their success at a very young age. The founder and the lead singer of the finger print 5 band is a former Journalism student at the Tshwane University of Technology. Nkamogeleng Lebeloane had love for music from a young age but she developed her idea of finger print 5 after she matriculated.

She said that she expresses herself well through music and this shows how well she’s connected to the music world. One of the challenges that she faced when she started Finger print 5 was that when she approached people and they responded negatively towards her because she was young and that could be discouraging at times but being a patient woman that she is, she did not give up. As time went by, she approached more people and they came through.

A finger print is not something that is shared and it is very distinctive so with this being said, it means that their band is unique and they are 5 in their band. This is why she said that it is Finger print 5. Yes, they are tight like that.

She met Bongani (the guitarist) at a show in the theatre, Gina and she were competing in a singing competition and she loved her voice so she approached her. She met Moshe in a gig and he jammed to their sound and he joined the band. Then Bongani recommended Shona. This is how Finger print 5 met.

They have performed in many places and obviously there must be certain performances that highlighted their careers. They performed at the Fetedela Musique in New town baseline which is one of the top music festivals in South Africa. They also performed in SA Fm, eTV Sunrise and were also featured on Daily Sun.

“It is when your soul is in peace”, that’s how Miss Nkamogeleng defines success. Not only does she want her band to succeed but she wants the band to have a purpose to send a proper strong message that can change people’s lives. She also mentioned that people always turn to forget why they wanted to succeed from the place and that she plans to not forget why she started this band from the first place.

In closing words she said that if you have a passion and patience for something that you want to do then that’s the key to your success. 


Adding Dimension to life!!!

Qube Radio Online is the name of the Online Radio programme started by a group of 1st year Journalism students in the Tshwane University of Technology. The idea for this programme was first proposed by Pule Letshwiti and Bruce Elekwang. The first show was presented by the two along with cameraman Njabulo Tyesi which was a show about relationships. They were later joined by Mongezi Mkhize, Mduduzi Mfeka and Sandile Ngubane who first presented the sports show which is now called Qube Sports.

Since then a lot has changed as the Qube now has a variety of shows from, social issues, sports, news, politics, music, fashion and lifestyle. Furthermore Qube now covers events such as the Rage Gaming Expo and South Point events. The team definitely puts in a lot of work as they have to balance a tight work schedule as they are doing second year now and also keep up with the demanding attention to their company. Mr Pule Letshwiti who is the CEO understands the amount of work which has to be put in, in order to reach success, though the members are not hoping to see the financial gain as yet, they are pretty confident that this company will be competing with the likes of eNCA in the years to come.

The company have now moved to merchandising where you can order water, caps and cups. The cups and caps can be purchased in different colours and bring style to many of those who lack in it. The team has a few things line up for 2017 and have welcomed new voices including shows. “Watch out South Africa here comes Qube”, says the CEO and not forgetting that they also have listeners in Brazil and England.

             My Life In words

When everything starts going left, it comes back to me, tears on my face, I start thinking about what I've been through. If I’ll ever get through it. Thinking that the problem that I'm facing right now is nothing compared to what I've experienced in the past.

I've went through shit that no female in my age has experienced, actually, still experiencing. It never goes away, ever. I really do wish I'd forget but I can't. It's a part of my life.

Then it hits me, how I thought I'd forget, how I thought that by this time, I'll be totally over it, like totally. Truth is, I'm not. I don't think I'll ever forgive and forget. I'll probably even go after his ass after my death. Yeah i hate him with passion.

But how does this make things any easier for me, for my life, for my mother. I'd probably be in jail for murder right now but I'd hate to see my mom sad because of me. Her happiness means everything to me. Yeah even if it means compromising my own happiness...

 Ikwekwezi Fm celebrates 34 years of a great radio life

As the Station turns 34 this March, one cannot help but look back with nostalgia the road travelled, amid turbulences, victories, challenges and celebrations. At this age, the Station should be considered to be in its maturity stages and should be in a position to reap without apology and not complain when things don’t go well. With over a Million potential audiences, the Station will always strive to a strike a balance amongst its diverse audience, young and old, particularly because there has been a paradigm shift in terms of how audiences access information.

The Station has, over the years, managed to build an emotional bond with its listeners. This has been achieved by ensuring that their listeners are part of the Station by encouraging them to send continuous comments, feedback on how they believe we can do things better, qualitative research and conducting Public Feedback sessions quarterly.
Since the birth of the Station 34 years ago, ikwekwezi FM has changed its corporate identity two times, changing from “lapho sikhona kunokukhanya” meaning that where we are there is light and now recently, to “ku khanya bha.”
They say dynamites come in small packages, and ikwekwezi FM has demonstrated that this notion is not a fallacy by achieving what critics may view as a farfetched dream for a Station which struggled to reach a million listeners since it hit the airwaves way back in 1983

The Station also boosts young and vibrant personnel who relate well to the listeners and are continuously reminded of practicing emotional intelligence to ensure that the bond between the Station and its audience grows stronger. That is why the Station is able to move with times through interaction with listeners through social media.
Happy birthday to ikwekwezi fm. May they continue to bring change in people’s lives.

Image result for natural hair       Many black people have been scarred and feel their natural hair is a stigma so consciously and unconsciously black women straighten their hair and plait weaves to fit more in with the highly valued white asethetic of beauty. And so when a person of colour doesn't have "good hair" and opts not to straighten it, suddenly that person in a community that should embrace them is stigmatized and treated like a second class citizen simply because they choose to embrace what is natural. Which I find rather ironic since black folks fought and still fight all the time to not be treated second class

.


But then on the flip side, when you have a mixed race person or a black person with "good hair" (and it's only suddenly good because it looks more similar to whites and isn't kinky) everyone wants to boohoo and ahhh about it like it's the best thing since sliced bread. And then they got to hear their hair is only like that because you're mixed with "something" and oh you are so special if the other mixture is white!

Just look how light skinned or mixed black women are treated better than darker skinned women of colour in society and hair is an extension of that even right in the black community! Lighter skinned loose curly ladies are favoured while darker skinned kinky haired ladies are not. Heck, even darker skin girls get "pass" if they have "good hair". That saves them let some ignorant fools tell it. I mean just look who gets all in black music videos in the front, light skin girls with "good hair" UNLESS the darker skinned girl has an incredible body and tons of straight weave all down her back and is willing to basically look like a skeeze dancing all skankier than everyone else.

This is true because if it wasn't true we'd see a much higher rate of black women wearing their natural hair and NOT as some political statement and they wouldn't have to explain that they aren't "mixed" or "biracial" or "multi-racial/ethnic" or are, but just to do it because it's their hair and nothing to be ashamed of and people wouldn't even BLINK twice at a woman of colour wearing her natural curls, kinks, naps, and whatever else is growing from her head.

Dudes of colour don't get flack as much cause most of them keep their hair real short and mainly have a definite styled cut that doesn't move around much. So it's not so "distracting" let other people that hate on natural hair tell it.

This guy will never find inner peace OMG!!!!


Tuks Confession 4739:
When I was 15 my girlfriend at the time was finally ready to have sex. I, as one might expect of a 15 year old, was excited. Neither hell nor high water was going to stand between me and my final destination. I get ready for the night, trim everything up, shower extra well. Unfortunately there was also an issue. I have a digestional disorder that sometimes cause my shit to become large and quite solid while still inside me. I wasn't aware it was a treatable problem and, in fact, just thought everyone had to deal with the equivalent of anal kidney stones. I bring this up because I had a mighty one which had been loaded into the gun for several days. Let me set the scene. Her parents are away. We have her house to ourselves. She was always a little kinky so she demands we do it in her parents bed. I walk in to a candle holocaust. She's been working on this all day apparently, and its as bright as high noon in there with the lights off. Which is good, because she proceeds to do a sweet, sexy little dance for me. At 16, she was AMAZING. For those of you who never experienced a female at that age, I pity the fool. Now I'm sitting on the bed, watching this dance. I smile and tell her how good she looks. Unfortunately, most of my attention is focused on the dull throbbing from my sphincter and the large amount of intestinal discomfort associated with not dropping duce in days. But somehow I still get hard and we go to town. She starts out on top, then we switch. I bend her over the bed, and I even smack her ass (a ballsy move at the time, but she loved it). Due to my built up distraction, I last for what seems like FOREVER. She can't stop moaning and telling me how good it feels, and then she says what every man wants to hear "I want to make you go in my mouth." I fuckin love women. So she goes down on me. She was always average at best in the head department but at least she tried. She pops my cock out of her mouth long enough to look up at me and say "tell me if you like this". Then I feel it. She stuck her finger up my ass. My brain hits the panic switch and every muscle in my entire body locks up tighter than a three year old virgin. But its too late. I take a massive, PAINFUL, PAINFUL shit, all over her parents comforter. No, you aren't understanding. I mean large. Huge. IMMENSE. Take your largest shit and multiple it by forty-two and you'll have an idea of what flew out of me. And gents, when I say flew, I don't mean "I pooped." I mean "projectile". I mean "hurricane force winds hitting an umbrella stand". And due to my condition, it comes out as a large, dark brown, smelly harpoon. I know it hit her. I didn't see it. She ran screaming "OH MY GOD OHMYGODOHMYGODEEEEEWWWWWWWW" but I always imagined that, due to her position, it hit her right in the chin. Or at least the tits. I would like to say I got up to go after her. But I heard the bathroom door shut and I just lied there. The smell hit me after a few seconds. It smelled like someone rolled a cat in shit and threw it into a tire fire. I looked down and saw, to date, the largest bowel movement I've ever heard of laying on the bed. Then I noticed the blood, and when I did, I noticed the pain. Apparently the fact that it was so large caused it to rip my ass a little bit (thought I was bleeding from the inside. This little doctors trip the next day is what taught me of my condition). There was a small pool of blood where my ass had been. A final reminder of the exact place and moment I lost my virginity. I will treasure this memory for all my days. I grab my shit with my hands and go to the downstairs bathroom. I throw around 1/3 into the toilet and flush, fearing any more will clog it and only add to my already significant woes. I stand there, holding 2/3's of my biggest shit of all time, feeling a trickle of blood flow down my leg, trying to ignore the sharp pain stabbing my rectum. I find myself wishing I had a photo of this. Anyway, I finish flushing my baby, clean off my hands, jam toilet paper between my cheeks (I skipped the bandaid) and went upstairs. I could hear my girlfriend sobbing from behind the bathroom door. I decided not to say anything to her and just keep moving. The smell in her parents room was abysmal. Its like when you take a shit and walk out of the bathroom you think "hey not so bad today," but then you walk back in to grab your magazine and go "HOLY SHIT!". It was one of those moments. The scene is burned behind my eyelids for all time. My life. My shame. My very first time smelled like a pile of dead babies. I quickly got dressed since the heat from ten thousand candles was making the room feel more like a port-a-potty. I was aware enough to grab the comforter on my way out and drag it downstairs to their washer. Also the top and bottom sheets since the blood had leaked on through all the way to mattress. Still no sign of the GF but at this point I considered it a blessing. I jammed in the washer with 3 loads worth of detergent and set it on spin, knowing that not even the hand of God would save these linens, let alone Tide and Snuggles. Then I left. I avoided my GF's calls for days until she came to my house. We had a long talk about what happened. Talk being synonymous with "breaking up with me because I shit on her". And it was all over. She promised not to tell a soul and I don't THINK she ever did. She was probably as ashamed as I was about the whole deed. But I will always this happening as the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me....

DJ ZINHLE IS NOT COMPETING WITH BONANG!
    Zinhle-Instagram  ~ 
    Dj Zinhle has responded to negative comments on her Instagram when a fan commented, accusing her of copying “someone” by posting a picture of herself with flowers from her man and thanking him for it. 
    Two days prior to this, media personality Bonang Matheba posted a picture of gifts from boyfriend, AKA, with a very similar comment to Zinhle’s. But the popular DJ did not take kindly to the “malicious” comment, as she puts it. 
    “I’ve seen a lot of women who’ve been through what I’ve been through share unkind words and think it’s okay cause I’m just a celebrity,” she said.She went on to say that she has had to pick up the pieces, forgive herself and move on. 
    Zinhle recently revealed her new boyfriend Brendon Naidoo, otherwise known as “Mr Bond” on her social media. Mr Bond is the CEO of Apogee Empire Management.
    Zinhle has had to deal with negative comments about her and her love life on social media since her nasty public breakup with ex-boyfriend and father of her only child, AKA, who is now dating Bonang.

      THE King of Sushi, Kenny Kunene, and his beautiful wife, Nonkululeko Mhlanga, finally tied the knot for the second time yesterday. 
      The couple said ‘I do’ in a low-key traditional wedding in Kimberly, in the Northern Cape. 
      Guests and residents of Galeshewe , came in numbers to welcome the couple in traditional song and dance. Over 200 guests filled the tent as gifts were exchanged during Umabo ceremony. 
      One of the guests was self-proclaimed Blesser Sergio Cabonge, who came dressed to the nine in his expensive suit and shoes. 
      The bicycle that was pushed by Kenny’s uncle represented the horse as they approached the bride’s home with the gate still shut.
      A few minutes later, the gate was opened and Kenny was welcomed inside for the final negotiations before he went to the tent where he waited for his wife-to-be. 
      Amagugusizwe traditional dance group from Thokoza, in Gauteng, was there to entertain the crowd. 
      Palesa Mpuse (33) said she was happy to see one of her home girls getting married in style, which attracted many people. 
      The ceremony later moved to the Seperepere Conversion Centre. 
      The couple is expecting their first child together. 
      Earlier, Sunday Sun reported that this was Kenny’s second marriage after his first one to his childhood sweetheart, Mathato, was finally dissolved. 
      MY EX FROM HELL WON'T LET ME MOVE ON!
        ,
        Mpoetsi Lesoela and Melusi Nkosi say his jealous ex beats them up every time she sees them. Photo by Lucky Morajane  ~ 
        MELUSI Nkosi (32) from Tshepisong, Soweto claims his ex-girlfriend is making his life a living hell.

        Melusi says Ntabeleng Miaketsu (30) has gone out of her way to make sure his relationship with his current girlfriend, Mpoetsi Lesoela (30), doesn’t have peace.

        Melusi said he met his ex in 2007 while she was unemployed and he worked at a petrol station.

        “She moved in with me but when I lost my job things went sour. She found a job and started to sleep out regularly. She would tell me she was working late.”

        He ended their relationship in 2014 after he learned Ntabeleng had been cheating on him.
        “She moved in with her new man at Snake Park.”

        Melusi said last year he met Mpoetsi and they moved in together.

        “But that did not sit well with Ntabeleng. She vandalises our home and even beats us up every time she sees us. Last week she stabbed me and even tried to pour boiling water on me,” he alleged.

        Melusi said they have opened several cases against her but she always gets away with it.

        Ntabeleng didn’t want to comment on the accusation that she assaulted the couple, but accused Mpoetsi of being a home wrecker.

        “She has been after my man for years now.

        “If she thinks she has won him she has another think coming.”

        SAPS spokesman Aubrey Moopeloa said a case of assault has been opened and police are investigating.

        When basic needs come with conditions: The normalisation of Sexual Coercion

        It is a distressing reality that many women still try to get through every day, one so often swept under the rug as “just how things are.” ...
