So a client texted me yesterday to run a pre-purchase inspection for him today, I got to the location while inspecting the car, the client told me it’s a 2010 Highlander, my scanner said otherwise, my scanner showed 2008 Highlander, I told the dealer he argued, i said but I’m not the one telling the scanner to bring out 2008, he said maybe my scanner is acting up, ok Let’s compare VIN, it was a way different VIN, I then notice that the vin tag was attached to the car, and was even registered with the details, Omo na there fear catch me, I attached the vin tag from the car and my scanner information below 👇, Infact the milage on the car was 170k, the milage on the scanner was over 300k miles😂. Pls let’s be careful out there, if you can buy a car for 5m upwards, you should be able to pay someone to run proper inspection, make u no go buy rubbish. Peace out ✌️

Teacher and composer - Enoch Mankayi Sontonga (c. 1873 – 1905). Sontonga is best known for writing the Xhosa hymn "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" ("God Bless Africa"). The first verse and chorus of "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" was composed in 1897 and it was originally intended to be a school anthem. Some sources say he wrote the tune the same year. It was first sung in public in 1899 at the ordination of Reverend Mboweni, who was the first Tsonga Methodist minister. Later, the Xhosa poet Samuel Mqhayi wrote a further seven verses. The hymn was made popular by the Ohlange Choir and later adopted as an anthem by ANC. Sontonga died on 18 April 1905 of gastroenteritis and a perforated appendix, a common cause of death at the time due to unsafe drinking water. Source: SAHO, Wikipedia

Abantu Batho was established in October 1912 and ceased publication in July of 1931. The newspaper was formed primarily through the efforts of Pixley Ka Isaka Seme who had recently qualified overseas as a Lawyer. It received impetus when Motsoalle, a newspaper founded by Daniel Letanka merged with Abantu Batho at the request of Pixley Seme. Daniel Letanka was the chosen as the director of the newspaper. Labotsibeni l, the Swazi Queen Regent provided financial assistance which was key in the founding and sustaining the newspaper paper. To attract a wider audience, the newspaper was published in English, Sesotho, Zulu, Xhosa & Setswana.

🎸 Tuareg Blues, often referred to as Desert Blues, is a hypnotic and deeply evocative genre of music that originates from the Imazighen people of the Sahara Desert, spanning Mali, Niger, Algeria, Libya, Burkina Faso and many other countries. Rooted in centuries-old Imazighen traditions, it merges the haunting melodies of North African Imazighen music with the raw energy of American blues and rock. The Imazighen, have long used music as a means of storytelling, resistance, and cultural preservation. Traditional Imazighen music was played on instruments like the teherdent (a type of lute) and the imzad (a one-stringed violin, traditionally played by women). However, in the late 20th century, as Imazighen communities faced displacement, political struggles, and exile, many young musicians turned to the electric guitar, inspired by the revolutionary sounds of Western blues, rock, and reggae. This fusion created a distinct style-characterized by pentatonic scales, hypnotic rhythms, call-and-response vocals, and the steady, trance-like repetition reminiscent of both Saharan folk chants and Mississippi Delta blues. The influence of artists like Ali Farka Touré, whose Malian blues style bridged African and American blues traditions, also helped shape the genre. The music features driving guitar rhythms, often with reverb-heavy electric guitars that produce a shimmering, almost psychedelic effect. Call-and-response vocals reflect lmazighen oral traditions and communal storytelling. The lyrics are poetic and political, speaking of exile, freedom, rebellion, and the vast beauty of the desert. The hypnotic, repetitive structure of the music creates a trance-like atmosphere, deeply connected to the rhythms of nomadic life and the endless expanse of the Sahara. by Houssaine Ousbouh
