This lady sacrificed years of her time in University trying to get her pharmacy degree. She got it, became successful and opened her own pharmacy in Hillcrest KZN last week.
Less than 7 days later, thugs came in and shot her dead along with her cashier. 💔🤦🏽♂️

Tonight, a dream years in the making finally crossed the stage with me.
From lecture notes between radio links, assignments after long production days, research, rewriting, sacrifice, self-doubt and perseverance… tonight I officially graduate with my MBA.

@luphumlongcayis @davidkau1 So beautiful, heartwarming a tribute ❤️ 💕 💖

I was not close to Maria and therefore cannot claim her as a friend, though we knew each other, and were forever friendly and cordial towards one another over the decades.
The last time I saw her in person was in Rosebank in 2024. @davidkau1 so happened to be there too. It was such a strangely beautiful encounter of us geriatrics. I was walking out of the bathrooms as Maria was walking out of the bathrooms too, while David was walking in. Delighted to see them both, I instinctively initiated a small group hug. It was a fleeting moment, but one that has stayed with me.
When she landed the Spotify Annual Glow Party honouring Brenda Fassie in October 2025, she reached out to me seeking insights on Brenda. We exchanged messages back and forth, with me verifying facts while laughing at how her probing questions about Brenda jolted so many wonderful memories for me. She told me she was searching for Hansa beer as part of the exhibition as it was Brenda’s favourite and I asked her to add Brutal Fruit as Brenda would drink both Hansa and Brutal Fruit at the same time. I was busy with the SA Cultural Observatory Conference at the time and we agreed to chat in the evenings. True to her gentle nature and grace, she kept me abreast of every single development around the production. I found this to have been noble and kind as she really didn’t have to.
On 6 November, I reached out to tell her how proud I was of her and of the beautiful exhibition she had put together. She forwarded me a warm message of gratitude and appreciation she had just received from Bongani Fassie, who had expressed much the same sentiment. Our last exchange was that very day after she sent me a screenshots of a photo of Brenda Fassie captured in Time Square New York from her lifelong friend and sister @thandiswamazwai , and we chuckled about it together.
We may not have been ‘friends’ in the truest sense of the word, but I am grateful that my dearest friend Brenda Fassie became the bridge that connected me to you, Maria. Having admired you from a respectful distance for many years, I feel privileged that our paths crossed, even if only briefly, towards the end of last year.
You were what we in my city Port Elizabeth, would simply call ‘a lady.’ Gentle, graceful, dignified and warm without ever trying too hard.
I am yet to meet someone who OWNED the streets of Joburg like you did. I am yet to meet someone who sprinkled colour to the streets of Joburg like you did. You were loved and you loved.
Rest gently @MariaPodesta

Just sitting here in my thoughts and wondering how much of #Pimville budget was left to shoot the little that was shot. In my experience- I’m using this phrase loosely- 100% was signed off and paid to the production company. Then 30% was paid to Commissioning Editor/Head of content as a kick-back (yes, they do it- sue me). Then Executive Producers paid themselves 30% BEFORE they even started shooting. Then everyone hoped and prayed that they could somehow shoot the whole season with 40%? Kanjani? Must be crack. I’m gonna estimate, I repeat, estimate that Pimville budget was 100million rands. Someone took 30million randelas in kickbacks and came back to look at us in the eye to tell us how they support our stories and that local is lekker? Then the EP’s who have learnt from their predecessors know how to get paid first. We’re really not angry enough. Okay, ALLEGEDLY ke… don’t come for me, I’m a grandmother. I’m simply trying to make it make sense. The powers that be can always call me to order and correct me by showing us how that money was spread… I mean, spent. Thanks, bye…

Hi @ExclusiveBooks your manager at Melrose Arch branch tells me to remove my handbag from my lap and put it where he can see it for “security” reasons. Of course he can’t explain what the security issue is. @ExclusiveBooks kindly clarify why my bag is a security threat.

@PhilMphela What a betrayal of trust, my goodness. Invasion of privacy. Unless Nimrod agreed for this to be shared. If not... WOW. What a knife on his back... My goodness. People have no shame. 💔

Something big is brewing. A cryptic voicenote has been shared about Nimrod Nkosi looking for a new job.
On the voicenote Nimrod bemoans that after 20 years in the industry, he is contemplating taking a different direction.
Not clear on what that would be, but re tlabe rele daar when "Mr Lotto" finally reveals his moves.
Looks like something big is coming.

Sindi Dlathu pays tribute to the legendary Cynthia Shange via Instagram: “Grace, love, and gentleness… this is how I will always remember you, Ma. You carried such depth and intelligence, a sharp wit, and a remarkable sense of humour. Our conversations flowed so effortlessly, each one meaningful and enriching. Those are moments I will forever cherish. You were always warm and brought light into every space you entered. Your presence was both grounding and uplifting. I could write a book about you, but I will leave it here. You wore your crown with grace, Ndlovukazi, in every sense of the word. Lala kahle, Ma.” #RIPCynthiaShange
