Letters to the editor

WE LOVE HEARING FROM YOU I can't at all forget to thank you for this Article Mommy. I had something so disturbing this morning It was a court matter. My boss delayed to work on our client & wen things became tough on him, he pushed the assignment to me. It would take God only to beat the deadline which was today & worst I needed to first get the Judge's approval. Thinking about all the stress I would go through, by 7am today I was planning to dodge work because I was sure it was going to be a damn bad day between me & my boss. BT at that hour, God flashed this article u sent me & told me. So go for I will be with you. Immediately I reached court, the Judge endorsed my document, I ran & served our client in time. Even the 2nd assignment, God supernaturally worked on it & my boss whom I knew would spend the day quarrelling, we instead spent the day happy in a unique way which is rare. I love you mom. Thanks for nurturing my faith.

untied Editor’s Note They usually say do not judge a book by its cover, meaning what you see is not always what you get. Sometimes people tend to say “what you see is what you get”, that is not completely true. Take for instance grape fruit. It is orange on the outside but on the inside it is red. You could easily mistake it for an orange but it is not and the taste is not how you would expect either. This sometimes is a lesson that needs to be learned by others as they fall easily for things that are not what they seem to be. So before you even judge someone, a situation, something make sure it’s something you understand and have an extended knowledge about. You may think you know but you don’t. Without doubt I know some of us have fallen into this trap, but its ok, all can be forgiven.

NDLOVU WAYIGEQEZA IS THE FUTURE

untied I

n the 1990’s South Africa celebrated New Age music group, a kwaito group that was a hit then.

Msawawa emerged and later on followed by many other young talents that are big names today. But South Africa never stopped to produce best entertainers. Sinothando Hlulani better known as Ndlovu was born in Veeplas, PE and he is now the talk of the town. Not in the back way, but he has been in the channel of communication as he is making his way up the music industry ladder in a swift way. Ndlovu as he is affectionately called by his fans was renowned when he was 7 years old, when the video that was recorded of him reciting his clan names went viral on social media. People continued to record the boy when they meet him on the streets of Veeplas. Sinothando is loved by many and it is evident that he is also a people’s person. He also loves babies and that is revealed in a video that has caused anarchy when he was showing love to a baby by giving the child a flattering name, saying ‘Yipokopoko, yipokolina’, the video had over 50 000 views both on YouTube and Facebook. The 9 Year Old multitalented artist loves entertaining his fans. Although he is loved and celebrated by the whole of South Africa, his fans at times wonder if the 9 Year old can cope with both school and his career as an entertainer.

But his manager is adamant that nothing will stand in Ndlovu’s way of obtaining education. Even his busy schedule is handled with high professionalism. “People keep on asking ‘when does this kid go to school?’, but Ndlovu spends more time at school than on the road. Some of the children his age are doing nothing to improve their lives, they come back from school and go to the streets to play. For an example: a child who is the same age as Ndlovu goes to the streets to play at 11 am and come back at 5 pm. On the other hand Ndlovu travels from 11am to 12:30 pm to Johannesburg, he performs at 2pm and at 2:30 he is on his way to airport to catch a flight to PE. Then what difference is there between him and the children who play from 11am to 5pm. He can do this as long as he possibly can and it will not affect his education because his shedukes is properly organised”, revealed Henna.

When he is not entertaining people he is either at school or playing with his twin and two sisters. He doesn’t relate much with children his age, mostly he relates with people who are older than he is.

“On this album fans should expect more of Ndluvu’s fun side because in the he is just being himself, he is having fun. The album is available at Musica and cannot be purchased or downloaded online. ” concluded Monwabisi.

Already Ndlovu is getting booked left right and centre and has done events in uMthatha and in Worcester (Western Cape). He was also called to be guest co-host on the biggest breakfast show ‘Umhlobo Wenene FM’ by Pastor and Mafa Bavuma. This young kid is doing something positive with his life and all thank to his family, manager and his followers for their love and support. Ndlovu is surely going places.

Hlulani’s looks up to Mastermind (Ntokozo Dlamini) from Uzalo, Elvovo and Gxabhashe (Mpumelelo Bhulose). He sometimes recites “bandibiza ugxabhashe umastermind, uElvovo dirango”. “He is a township kid and his role models are the people with the kasi touch. ” said Henna The 9 year old recently recorded a full 10 track album that was released on the 23 February 2018 under Henna Empire record label. The company has also signed Mque (City Rains hitmaker) and Afropop sensational Olothando Ndamase. “It’s his debut album and he’s the first South African youngest kid to have an album at a very young age.”

President Ramaphosaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice of cabinet not everyone's preferred cup of tea It has been a month or so since president Ramaphosa took the reigns from Former president Jacob Zuma. To some this transition was a chance for south Africa to reed itself from corrupt and greedy officials within the ruling party. But things didn't go as premeditated in peoples minds, the election of the presidents cabinet was only a swap of positions. Even the "corrupt" officials remained, some we given new tasks and some appointed for the positions they once occupied. Among the officials that survived the axe is Bathabile Dlamini Outgoing Social Development Minister. Dlamini has lived to serve another day as a Cabinet minister, but it won't be as head of the department overseeing the nation's social grants scheme.

In a surprise move, the under-fire Dlamini was kept on to serve in President Cyril Ramaphosa's new Cabinet, which was announced on Monday, despite multiple failures to meet the SA Social Security Agency's (Sassa's) obligations to the Constitutional Court. Opposing parties and South Africa citizens couldn't believe it and still wonder how president Ramaphosa could keep such individuals. Some ague that Ramaphosa was put under pressure and did what he could to keep his party together. While others think that Ramaphosa doesn't care about the wellbeing of the country he only cares about the ANC. Maybe, just maybe Mr. President knows what he is doing and in due time he will do what is best for the country, I don't know. Is there hope that corruption would come to its fatal end? We don't know, we are just crossing fingers, praying and hoping that it ends.

WHY DESIGNER CLOTHES ARE SO EXPENSIVE? WHAT'S IN THE NAME? Ever wonder what could make a regular cotton blend tee-shirt to cost more than two months’ rent? Me too. And most of the time it turns out that even the people selling the EXPENSIVE goods have no idea why they cost as much as they do. I was curious as to why a pair of Jimmy Choo slip on sneakers were selling on over a thousand rands. At first glance their sneaker don't look that much different from your regular Vans sneakers. The material may be a bit higher end-leather and studs than a canvas pair of Vans, but the sole and basic shape is the same. Jimmy Choo is a high end designer that's obvious and not particularly helping the person who doesn't understand what's in the name. So I researched. It’s not always the end product that's going to cost you your 1st born, it’s the research and development that goes into the end product, similarly how much research and development goes into manufacturing a pair of shoes for which the shape and style already been invented?. Do you really need to pay more than a thousand rands for someone to reinvent the wheel-alvery stylish metal studs covered wheel? Well probably not, but perhaps there is an explanation for it. Let’s consider the right costs of producing luxury product and gross margins for luxury companies. There are many steps along the way that contribute to the final price, cost of raw materials, manufacturing and fulfilment. At the retail there is cost of prime real estate and sales stuff and finally there's marketing, those glossy fashion adverts cost a pretty penny to produce, let alone to place.

In many cases designers up the price on their products simply to gain an added sheen of prestige and exclusivity. So the short answer to why designers charge so frigid much for their products? It’s "Because they can". Wealthy people express their wealth by spending as much as they can on high end items. For them it's the price tag as much as the products it's self that makes an item remarkable. The price tag and the inverse effect of imbuing the purchaser with power. The price of high end goods just keeps escalating and why not....in the eyes of the designer there seem to be no shortage of consumers who believe they can buy personal power through what they wear. They want items that are in short supply or made in limited runs and they are prepared to pay top dollar to make that happen. The more expensive something is the more exclusive and therefore, desirable it becomes. Most of the time designers would raise the prices to increase appeal to the upper end its customer base and attract new wealthier customers, so next time you get bummed that you can't afford something remember it’s not you its them.

IS THE DESIGNER CLOTHING ACTUALLY WORTH IT? As for me the majority of my wardrobe is not designer clothing ,but I do own few pieces, and do I really feel a difference in wearing said designers over something that is a fraction of the price at retail that is? "answer is YES". I can honestly say that I do, but it doesn't apply to everything, only the major pieces that require proper tailoring or craftsmanship such as shoes and coats.

There are pieces that I could like from designers such as Louis Vuitton and Gucci, but the overall look not my style in those designers. I loathe that ubiquitous brown print with symbols or that flash of the tri-colour red, green and white although they are well made.

I do think that the Burberry check is hideous as well, but I certainly can feel the quality in their clothing for trench coats. They make the impeccable tailored and fitted coat, and lowerend retail stores simply don't have the time, money or resources to produce such a coat so they stick to their lower price points. WHAT IS THE REAL DIFFERENCE OTHER THAN THE PRICE TAG I would say The materials are generally better. The clothing tends to feel better. They generally last longer. DESIGNER OR NOT..... Ignore the label or who made it, and focus on these three things before you damage your bank account. - The material- is it made of cheap polyester and acrylic or its cashmere and silk. - The craftsmanship- where is it made, is it tailored well, and will it last beyond few washes. - The style aesthetic of the piece- can I wear it until I am 70? Then after I can look at the price. So if the price tag says few thousands for a coat, and I have researched and exhausted all other avenues of finding a similar trench coat without brand name but equal quality and craftsmanship, I am more inclined to bite the bullet and just buy it.

Your fashion sense speaks volumes Currently we are living in the decade where there is a lot of communication going on. I am one of those who have been privileged to know and understand that it is not only the sound making items that speaks but also items that have no ability to speak in the “human point of view”. I don’t think some of us do understand that, everyday our fashion choices and personal style send specific messages about us. It has been proven quite a number of times, firstly by those who are close to us, secondly on the streets, thirdly at school and lastly in the work place. Some of us wear certain fashion because other people in our groups wear them, which is a rather peculiar impression when we take a moment to ponder it. We follow trends that somebody in the fashion industry sets for the season and we hurry to the store to keep up with the times. Not everyone is so keen about these set trends some follow fashion shrewdly, picking and choosing the pieces they like, and this works out for them. They create their own style and there are certain beings that are even able to create their own trends using their own creativity. Other people refuse to follow it entirely and conform to the counterculture, which is still technically a form of conforming. Pause for a second and evaluate the outfit you are wearing right now. Your clothes and personal style speak dimensions of sizes about you. Sometimes your appearance says more than the words you say, especially to those who do not know you. For an example you can’t go to an interview wearing a pink miniskirt with a leopard printed crop top. There minute you enter the reception area, they will think twice before they hire you.

Your attire may be cool and hip but that is all there is to it, cool and hip. Though you may be the suitable candidate for the position you are applying for, chances are your CV will be shoved under a pile of old documents or in the dust bin. As cute as you may be, fact remains that at the office you ought to be decent and professional. Your outfit may be trending but in the corporate world it tells people something else about you. A blazer and skirt makes a different statement than a worn-out pair of black jeans. Our personal style speaks of our identity, our characters and informs those around us about the varied “societies” we belong to. Some of us belong to the corporate tribe of business managers, while others fall in with free-spirited artists. If you take a good look at everyone around you their clothing items will tell you a lot about them. Go to the streets where prostitutes stand and wait for clients wearing a skimpy top with a very short skirt, and see if you will be left alone or be approached by potential clients. Go to the bank wearing a suit and a tie and see what kind of attention will you be fishing. Whatever your style may be truth remains, it communicates. It says more than enough before you even introduce yourself.

Well, where do we fit in? There’s two philosophies out about how fashion is incorporated in our daily lives. The trickle-down effect explains how styles originate with designers and celebrities, before they slowly make their way down to us “commoners,” as explained flawlessly by Meryl Streep who plays Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada:

The most popular and stylish fashion trends for the year so far have been set. Below are the 2018 fashion trends that you can start wearing today. Pastels Whether lilac, pink, lemon or duck egg blue, pastels have taken centre stage this season. Try choosing one pastel colour and using it throughout your outfit, or pair a few different pastel colours together for a soft yet striking look.

Sequins To say sequins and sparkles are a big deal right now is an understatement. Choose one sparkly item as the showpiece of your outfit, and pair it with matte fabrics and plain colours.

Perpendicular Transparency has made a comeback this season, and gives you the option of showing off multiple layers. Layer a sheer top over a button down shirt for a smart work outfit, or wear a sheer skirt with a matching monochrome pants layer underneath.

ntied Fashion Insight

We Are What We Wear - With little research I recently conducted on African Prints, I found out that there is atleast three different types of African Print fabrics... Wax prints, Gold prints and Fancy prints. The Wax print is the most expensive. These were originally made in Indonesia and were called Batik Cloth. They were taken to Europe where a method was divised to make these in a factory without being totally hand made. The wax prints often have the look and feel of a wax coating on the surface of the fabric. Fancy and Gold prints do not have the same feel. - The main aim behind research was triggered about the way young africans pull their outfits in this day and age. - As Africans we've adapted to the workplace dress codes defined by Western culture, this isn't a bad thing their garments are easier to obtain and don't often require careful planning regarding weather,matching and other aspects of wardrobe etiquette. African clothing often requires more thought this is changing though. - Young Africans sometimes find it hard to straddle the blurry lines between the contemporary world and the traditions that make us who we are. We are the generation that is still trying to determine how much of our culture is enough to be cool in the lens of pop culture and how much to hold back, because it requires too much explanation or explaining. - The rise of contemporary African fashion with young women and men reflecting their culture in their daily wardrobe is important. We express our personalities and identities sortorially and we carfully choose our style because whether we like it or not we are what we wear.

- We are the generation for which the African prints jungle is meant. We are the generation that can celebrate its culture and identity through clothes because its cool, fashionable and sexy. Its all about tradition, finding its way into the morden world without compromising, but rather adapting in a positive way. - For young expats who've lived all their lives in foreign continents, its particularly important when you are not sure whether you belong here, there or somewhere in between.That is why now you find them wearing African prints iterms to work every week. We all making it a normal thing and its who we are and how we trying to represent ourself in the society.

Difference between fashion and style On our stages lately we were graced with the autumn collections.Johannesburg had their Mercedes-Benz fashion week and Cape Town hosted the SA fashion week. With all that beauty I saw on ramps it got me thinking that there's actually a very big difference between being fashionable and being stylish. As the designer myself who also studied fashion designing I also came up with the little understanding of the difference I usually see on daily basis life. Fashion and style are two words that can effectively explain the who, what, when, where and why a proper clothing application. Yet they are used as synonyms and misinterpreted on daily basis. I refer to fashion as what is currently on trend right now, what is featured on TV, magazines and fashion runways. It is very versatile. Fashionable things tend to go out of fashion by the next year, next week or even next month. Fashion is ephemeral. It is the flavour of the day, and useful for refuelling your style inspiration when you feel you have run out of gas. Fashion may be the most democratic of all art forms, because we’ll have to go through the ritual of dressing ourselves every day and it’s mostly easy to apply because it’s all surface Fashionable people are those who follow fashion without any regard to whether the fashion actually suits them or not. Nevertheless, there are also stylish people who are not considered fashionable, this is mainly because while what they are wearing is stylish and shows off their body and personality, what they wearing may or may not be currently in fashion.

These two words are commonly thrown around these days, however many people find it difficult to distinguish the two. It is hard to define because it can't be explained, but seen, heard and experienced. I always say style is way of life- style goes beyond the body; it’s the clothes you wear, your facial hair, the food you eat, the movies you watch, computers, phones, cars houses all of those are part of the fashion and lead into one's sense of style.

As for me I never really got fashion. My style or what I have of one, was limited by what was available around me. Over the years I figured out what works for me and always stick to it. I do unorthodox things, not many women are running around with just blue jeans on daily basis but I’m in one when I leave the house more often than not. In every season I always end up with a pair of white converse all-stars wear them, out and get another pair or two, so that I’m set with those for a while, and I’ll wear them with everything I own in my closet including a little black dress. I believe style blurs the lines of the class system. It makes it harder for the rich, poor and middle-class to know who is who. Style is the attitude and personality....... Fashion on the other hand divides the classes and puts the rich above every day. It gives them an attitude of superiority, but having money doesn't mean you have style and that is why style is so important, can help make you successful... Fashion can just keep you in the same place. The truth is we all born with inner voice that serves as our personal style guiding light. People with style dress with harmony with their inner most authentic selves.

Beauty

Get more out of your beauty regimen with these four easy yet effective tips and tricks. Do not waste Don’t toss away make-up bottles just because they look empty. Cut the bottles open, and scoop out the make-up into plastic pots. This is a great way to save money. Fuller Lips To create the impression of fuller lips, use a lip pencil that’s a significantly lighter shade than your natural lip colour. Colour in the middle of your upper and lower lip, and then blend this in with your finger. Top it all off with some lip gloss.

DIY Lip Gloss Don’t throw away your broken eye shadows. As an alternative, turn them into lip gloss. Crush the eye shadow into powder, then mix with Vaseline to make any colour lip gloss you like. Make your manicure last If your manicure is fragmented, you can hide it with glitter. Shield the whole nail in a clear glitter polish for chips, or use it at the base for a manicure that’s growing out, to create the best results.

untied beauty Make-Up Must Haves You may not know where to start when deciding on the right product because there are so many make-up products on the market. But you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a 24-piece brush set and tons of different shades of eye shadow to apply make-up like an expert. To master pro make-up artistry you can also use few item. These are the items you absolutely must have in your make-up bag. Nude Lipstick A good nude lipstick gives your lips description without making it obvious that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wearing lipstick. Choose a matte colour a little lighter or darker than your skin tone. As a bonus, you can use your nude lipstick on your cheeks as a subtle blush.

Powder Foundation tends to form lines along the creases of the face over time. Applying some loose, luminous powder over your foundation will preclude these lines from forming and keep your skin looking flawless for longer

Light and Dark Eyeshadow You only need one light and one dark shade to create dramatic eyes. Apply the light shade to your entire lid and along your brow bone beneath your eyebrow. Apply the dark shade in the outer corners of each lid and blend well. For a different look, apply the dark shade into your eyebrow crease instead. . Mascara Even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not wearing any other make-up you, mascara is a definite must. It makes your eyes pop, helping you to look alert and brighteyed. It can even double as an eyeliner; dab a little onto a tissue and smear onto your lower lid and lashes. Brushes You only need three brushes in your kit: 1. A medium to large rounded tip brush for applying loose powder and blush. 2. A small rounded tip blending brush to properly blend your light and dark eyeshadow shades together. 3. A small angle brush to use eyeshadow as an eyeliner and to define your brows. It also allows you

Foundation Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concealer to give you full coverage or BB cream for a lighter feel, an even skin tone gives you a blank canvas to work with. Powder based make-up, such as eyeshadow or blush, goes on more evenly and stays on much longer when applied over foundation.

Hair

Keeping a Healthy Looking Head of Hair Just like your car, your hair needs maintenance in order to preserve strength, elasticity, and shine. Tap Dry

Keep it Trimmed Since the only real way to remove damaged hair is to cut off the damaged section, keeping your hair trimmed regularly will help eliminate split ends.

When hair is wet, it is highly susceptible to damage. When the hair is rubbed with a towel, some of the hairs become tangled in the threads of the towel and become stretched to the breaking point, causing damage to the cuticle and split ends.

Even if you're growing your hair out, make sure to get it trimmed about every six weeks, but make it clear to your barber or stylist that you only want enough hair removed to eliminate the damage.

To properly towel dry, shake out the excess water and stroke your hair in the direction it grows, rather than rubbing the hair with the towel. Drying takes a bit longer this way but after a few haircuts, you'll notice the difference in the way your hair looks. Blow drying is also a common cause of damage to the hair.

Maintain a Healthy Scalp Hair starts from the scalp, so for hair that's sleek, strong, and shiny, make sure you take good care of your scalp by following our Scalp Care Tips. Since hair is such a big part of your appearance, keeping it well maintained will make you more attractive. Following the simple guidelines above will put you on your way to a healthy looking head of hair.

Avoid Chemical Treatments Repeatedly colouring or perming hair can leave it damaged, dry, and dull. A professional stylist will know how to properly prepare your hair and choose the best products for your hair type. Use a Good Shampoo and Conditioner A good shampoo and conditioner will help cleanse the hair, add moisture and elasticity, and smooth the cuticle to add shine.

Money - How You Spend Your Money Wisely Do you have problem with your money spend? Spending problem often faced by almost everyone in every age, because they usually spend their money for some personal stuff like magazine, entertainment, and clothes. Young people also liked to spend their money for a temporary pleasures like watching movies in cinema, and eating out. Do you know how to overcome this problem? Here is some methods that you can use to spend your money wisely.



First, you must come with a budget. You need to track all your spending for a few months so that you can work on your budget knowing where your money is going. you need to make a list of your monthly expenses for example using your bills and the information you gather. Review this list to determine where you can reduce expenses and by how much.

Learning how to save money is an important preparation for your financial future. While saving money may not seem to be an easy thing to do, establishing short term goals as well as long term ones makes the results seem more achievable. Establishing a savings routine takes determination and dedication, but may be accomplished in part by changing daily routines.



Second method is how you spend money on your clothing. People these day like to spend their money buying expensive clothes that have style and name brand like Jimmy Choo, Channel and many more.

What you need to do is figured out what you need, the importance of the item to have quality and the thing that are not. For example, it is unwise to spend too much money on socks because it worn out very quickly. Buy a hundred dollar jeans that last for 6 years is worth than buying a twenty dollar jeans that only last for 1 year.

Third, is how you spend your money on food and beverages? What you need to do is you should make a shopping list of healthy foods that your body need and avoid adding sweet and snacks in your list because it’s not good for your body. Besides that, you should avoid from eating outside because of the higher price. Best way to avoid, is start packing lunch or dinner to work.

ntiedspiritual PICK YOUR BATTLES WELL The sons of Israel were given the land by their God to occupy. Unfortunately for them the land was already occupied by nations that have lived there forever. The Hagrites were the neighbours that they had lived next to for a period of time, but because the Reubenites and Gadites were a blessed nation their livestock kept on increasing, as a result they needed more land for pasture which was the land of the Hagrites.

By: Prophet K Tukwayo

Some of the things that we need to advance our lives,our careers, our ministry have giants already occupying them. You want to plant in a certain area or city or town, the giants that have lived in there tormenting people for generations are not going to shake your hands and serve you coffee and cookies, oh no,expect some serious battle in your hands. TRUST IN GOD:

BECAUSE THE BATTLE IS GOD'S "The Reubenites, the Gadites and the half tribe of Manasseh had 44 760 men ready for military service - able bodied men who could handle shield and sword, who could use a bow, and who were trained for battle. They waged war against the Hagrites, , Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.They were helped in fighting them, and God delivered the Hagrites and all their allies into their hands, because they cried out to him during the battle. He answered their prayers, because they trusted in him. " 1CHRONICLES 5: 1820.

The Gadites and Reubenites moved by faith because they trusted in God. They cried to Him when things got heated in battle and it is said that He answered them. It was easy for them to cry to God because He had sent them to occupy. Who sent you to open that ministry? Did you hear God well? Who said you should apply for that job, did you hear from God about it? Can you call to God when the going gets tough where you are and trust that He will hear you because you are confident He sent you there? These men with all their might and strength cried to God and it says He delivered them. When you are backed by the Heavens, you spare your energies and let God fight for you. You call on the one who sent you, like a true child does.

The Lord did not only deliver them but gave them all the wealth of their enemies, verse 21 " they seized the livestock of the Hagrites fifty thousand camels, two hundred and fifty thousand sheep and two thousand donkeys, they also took one hundred thousand people captive." When you occupy because you heard God well you will prosper in that job, or that ministry. You will not only prosper in money and possessions but also with people. The important thing is knowing that whatever battle you facing is God's, but you can't say that if God never sent you, but you sent yourself. Verse 22 says "and many others fell slain, because the battle was God's. And they occupied the land until the exile." There is steadiness when one has been mandated by God to occupy, many of the enemies that try to fight against you get slain, but can you boldly stand in the midst of your enemies and say, I trust in God, can you confidently say this battle is God's. God bless you.

The River

New SA telenovela: The River

The River is a South African telenovela revolving around communities on two different sides of a river: society's upper crust in exquisite mansions who will go to any lengths to maintain their wealth, and the exploited "common folk" who constantly toil with little to show for it. The series stars Sindi Dlathu, Hlomla Dandala, Don Mlangeni Nawa, Lawrence Maleka, Moshidi Motshegwa and newcomer Larona Moagi. Dlathu plays Lindiwe, a polished and astute mining magnate whose stilettos have squashed anyone who dared stand in the way of her wealth. Moagi is Itumeleng, the young character from the "poor" side of town who wants to put an end to Lindiwe's ruthless gluttony, often at the expense of her beloved community.

Courage and cunning eventually collide when they cannot put their differences aside, resulting in an endless body count. It is a story of ill-placed love, greed, betrayal and blood bonds, combining the allure and ruthlessness of the business world, with the raw essence of township struggles.
