I join the nation in mourning the passing of beloved actress and pioneering fashion icon and model Mam Cynthia Shange, who has passed away at the age of 76, as well as Albert Mazibuko, co-founder of Ladysmith Black Mambazo. My thoughts are with Cynthia Shange’s extended family, friends and her many associates in our creative industries with whom she interacted as a peer or a pathfinder. She launched her modelling career in 1970 and within two short years, she won the Miss Natal and Miss Black South Africa titles before representing South Africa at the Miss World Contest. As a charismatic young women, she exercised her interests in an era in which apartheid segregation was in full momentum and black women were the most disadvantaged citizens in our country. From her beginnings in Lamontville, KwaZulu-Natal, to a starring role in Muvhango, Mam Cynthia’s life has been a personal triumph and a source of national inspiration and admiration. We miss her already. May her soul rest in peace. I extend condolences as well to the family, friends, colleagues and associates of Ladysmith Black Mambazo co-founder Albert Mazibuko who has passed away at the age of 77. Albert Mazibuko was the last of the original generation of Ladysmith Black Mambazo and merits great credit for the national affection and global fame that the group’s timeless and constantly enriched music has amassed over decades – including multiple Grammys. May Ladysmith Black Mambazo continue to grow in its creative output and continue to touch the hearts of South Africans and the people around the world. Rest in peace, Bra Albert.

[WATCH] 10 years ago, the High Court found that the UISP is binding on municipalities. In 2016, @malungelob interviewed Mr Frank Mapara for @eNCA on the victory. He passed away in May 2019 at the age of 80 & #SlovoPark's upgrade is yet to be realised. bit.ly/4tCsCRf

Absolute masterclass by an expert Al Jazeera journalist. She completely corners a former Israeli official, citing the exact UN Charter articles that prove Israel's territorial expansion into Lebanon is blatantly illegal. He literally had no defense.

@Siviwe_G @Our_DA @UCT_news Nicely done Minister, well done.

Master of Development Policy and Practice in the bag 💼 I started this degree at the beginning of 2024. At the time I was the Chief Whip of the Official Opposition- @Our_DA. I knew it would be difficult to balance the academic demands; my job as a parliamentarian - during an election year. Half way through that year, I was appointed as a cabinet minister. One of the largest undertakings I’ve ever made. I briefly contemplated deferring; but this was an important commitment I’d made to myself. Through sheer stubbornness and the desire to gift myself a 3rd degree, I decided to continue. To say the following 18 months after that decision were hard, would be an understatement. It tested my resolve; my patience and stretched my intellect in ways I’ve never experienced before. 2025 was by far the hardest part of the academic journey. However, the @MandelaUCT School and my supervisor were incredibly supportive. Not only did I manage to complete this degree; I completely aced my dissertation. I’d begun work as the then Chief Whip of introducing legislation that would help South Africa manage coalition governments at a local, provincial and national government. Never did I think that my topic would be my lived reality. I researched the relationship between the political instability in the City of Johannesburg and the service delivery decline over 10 years. What an enlightening journey. A topic that I want to possibly expand on for my PhD one day. I want us to have a real academic and practical understanding of how we make coalition governments work better for the people of South Africa. 🇿🇦 Ndiyambulela uThixo, AmaWushe, my loved ones, my team and my incredible supervisor for pushing and encouraging me when times got tough. NQF 9 girlies are UP! 😊
