Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of the gigantic poet, artist, philosopher, storyteller, and musician Dr. Latozi 'Madosini' Mpahleni. Keeper of stories and sounds from the Xhosa tradition and master of uhadi and umrhube. We give thanks for the lessons she passed on 🙏🏾🌹

SAMRO is saddened by the passing of Dr Latozi Madosini Mpahleni, one of the last practicing music guardians of traditional Xhosa culture. She was unsurpassed in the making & playing of the Uhadi, Umrhubhe & Isitolotolo. Condolences to her family, friends & industry colleagues.

@Kholokoanne Cults are not for weaklings, my dear

@MessyPhakela I whisper things to myself a lot. Like “omg, what was that? And stuff like that. I’d probably get excommunicated within the first day 😭

So on a silent retreat. Are you allowed to talk to yourself? Cos I know I will say something to @Kholokoanne

This heat! There’s no way! I need rain now!

I've NEVER EVER heard @ayab0nga swear! Not even in once.

@ayab0nga @Kholokoanne In other news: I don't think I've ever heard you swear Aya. 🤔🧐

@Kholokoanne Shut the heck up!

I want to inhale a ginormous blue cheese burger NOW🍔
