WELCOME
JULIA Operations Editor
Cool to see you again in this issue.
I'd like to welcome you to our 28th issue of Upcoming Mag. Apparently they looted the colours of our South African flag. I would like to say Covid 19 is real guys, I went from being a none believer of it to knowing people who had it and knowing 10+ people who died from it, with that said, it was a bit tough for us to do our job. I am said to say that we couldn't have any interview with everything that happened in our country last month. if you have any comment or suggestion please do not hesitate to WhatsApp me, at the end of the day we create this magazine for you to enjoy.

LUYOLO LUYOLO QUOTES QUOTES Luyolo Quotes the comedian draws from his life story when writing and performing stand-up comedy about the experiences of migrant workers, his experience of marriage life, growing up in a remote village, crime in the townships and politics of the diaspora as he's also a linguist who writes and speaks 9 South African languages. His first love for comedy was triggered by a billboard of the Sandton comedy club, he then called in after seeing the advert and asked to do stand-up comedy for the first time in 2018, though he couldn't complete his set he was quite intrigued that he wants this by all means and he joined in for Shakers Extreme Comedy Wednesday to hone this skill.
In the direction of the Award winning comedian Thabiso Victor Mhlongo and Bexta Ndabalime, the MC's of the show slowly yet surely broadened his knowledge on the skill while he's been refining it. He's not fairly new in the performing arts industry as he's also a poet who has performed for people like the former ANC treasure general and attorney Doctor Mathews Phosa, who's also a published poet. He was also part of the school drama festival in high school, a project initiated by the Market Theatre Laboratory, where he learned the skill of acting through mentorship by big actors such as Mpho J Molepo of Generations the Legacy and Bongani Gumede of Isibaya.
Not leaving behind that at the age of 12 he was presented with an opportunity to exhibit his art work in Holland, Rotterdam along with his brother Zet Mtshizana in a project initiated by the Netherlands Architecture Institute. His dream is to be amongst the honorable names in the stand-up comedy career like Trevor Noah, Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle whom he says is in the likeness of his father, one of the greatest story tellers with unwavering humor. Living by his father’s quote "If you please everybody, at last you'll please no one" he believes that he'll open doors even for other comics in the future. Luyolo Quotes was born Luyolo Gerald Mtshizana.

TSHIAMO MANGURE I am Tshiamo Mangure. I’m a 20 years old aspiring model in Botswana whose dream is to shine in commercial and runway modeling. My biggest aim is to become the best version of myself. I’m currently working with two modelling agencies namely- Ghetto first Modelling Agency and Exclusive Models Agency. My goal is to be able to brand myself as a model in Botswana and outside and to also inspire the younger generation to go after their dreams by showing them that no matter your background, you have no limits. You can be able to make your dreams a reality as long as you have passion for a certain career, and you give your best to it, you can become the best at it. I wish to empower so many people hence I’m planning to start a nonprofit organization and run community development projects by helping the less privileged in my community through making donations for purpose of buying the toiletries and other basic essentials such as winter socks and sanitary. I am willing to work with different agencies, individuals and brands to make a name for myself in the modeling industry.

TSHEGOFATSO MOSEAMEDI My name is Tshegofatso Moseamedi. I am an 18 year old fashion model and social media personality under Gram Modeling Agency. Modeling career: Before last year, 2020, I didn't have any modeling background or experience. I started working with Krafix around March 2020, and had my first brand photoshoot with Demi-Lune Club®. Very shortly after that, I was approached by Gram Modeling Agency in April, and signed with them. Thereafter I went to have my first shoot under the Agency on the 17th of April. That's where I began to learn more about being a social media personality and a brand influencer. I've worked with various brands including Beamers and Proxy.

TSHEGOFATSO MOSEAMEDI What the future holds for Tshegofatso (Blessie):
Apart from being a model, I am a student and one of my interests is in becoming an actress. I feel like that is the path for me to go since it compasses all my other interests like being a model, a brand influencer and a social media personality. In the journey to being an actress, I've met prominent leaders of the industry and successful actors such as Eric Macheru who is most famous for acting as Leeto Maputla, the son of Meikie Maputla and John Maputla and the older brother of Thabo Maputla and husband to Mogadi Matloga and a successful lawyer in the soapie, Skeem Saam. I am confident that this is all just the beginning and that great success is coming my way. I believe that I will be well known for putting so much heart and soul in my work, and for my kind patience. As a religious person, I believe that God's light will continue to shine on me and pave a brighter path for me.

My name is Nhlanhla Khwiyane. I am 18 years old and I’m currently doing my first year of BA in criminology and psychology. My goal is to become a well-known actress and a good one at that, to succeed in being a digital creator. I believe that the only thing standing between my dreams and I is myself. I was born and raised in a small village in Limpopo by my mom and granny, but I was mostly with my granny as mom had to work. Everything I want to achieve in life is for these two females, since they gave up so much just for me and my siblings. For example, my mom is a teacher and with her salary she supports us together with my granny. She struggles so much to do the things she wants and deserves because she has too many responsibilities. One of my goals is to make sure I build her the house she dreams to live in and the car of her dreams and also renovate my granny’s house.

My name is Bronie Letswalo, I'm 21 years of age, from Pretoria Mamelodi. I've started modeling at a young age, at first I didn’t know anything and I was doing it for fun until I realized that I got passion for it. My interest in modeling began at school, entered different pageants and attended photoshoots. I entered Miss Chuene Resort , Miss Vick's Cafe , Miss Black Barbie ambassador. I advertised a few local brands to boost up my image as a model. I'm not just an inspiring model but I'm also an Actress, Promoter, video vixen, vocalist, ambassador, marketing manager and a young business woman (under Proclaimed Kings and Queens). Young black entrepreneur. Everything I do is an inspiration to me every single day. As a model you should have your everyday motto and my motto is "You don't have to be great to start but start to be great". For a comfortable journey of life just reduce the luggage of desires. To be what we are and be capable of becoming who we want to be and your attitude can make all the difference.

10 reasons why you should use condoms
I stay in Soweto one of the greatest townships in South Africa, this information I am about to share should be common knowledge but I doubt it is because unemployed women are getting more and more babies every year, having a child as a school girl has become something normal and now you find a school girl with 2 or 3 children. I asked a random school girl how many girls have children in her class and she said 11, in a class of 34, 11 girls have children, don’t they teach safe sex in schools? And you would think that these school girls were made pregnant by other school boys but no, these school girls are dating older man, this has been happening generation to generation, it is sad that girls mature quicker than man, it is time you ladies make this statement true and carry your own condom and make sure your man/boyfriend uses it all the time.
3. Condoms can be sexy. Protection is important, but so is pleasure. Luckily, condoms offer both! Condoms come in lots of different styles, shapes, and textures that increase sensation for both partners. And having your partner put the condom on your penis can be a sexy part of foreplay, especially if you add lube. Condoms can even delay ejaculation (cumming), so sex lasts longer. You can use condoms for oral, anal, and vaginal sex, so they protect you from STDs no matter how you get down. And that’s really the sexiest part of all: condoms let you focus on pleasure and your partner without worrying about pregnancy or STDs. Safer sex is better sex because it stops stress from killing the mood. 4. You can’t tell by looking at someone whether or not they are disease free. The most beautiful woman in the world and the most handsome man can both be carrying a deadly secret. Be careful!
DID YOU KNOW? 1.Condoms are effective against STDs. Condoms and internal condoms are the only methods of birth control that also help prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections like HIV, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. Even if you’re already using a different kind of birth control to avoid pregnancy, it’s a good idea to also use condoms or internal condoms every time you have sex to protect yourself from STDs.
2. You are not married. This is not to offend anyone, or say that marriage means you are safe. Chances are that if you aren’t married, your partner may not be with you a year of two from now. Having multiple partners, doubles you risk!
A fact is something that has really occurred or is actually the case. The usual test for a statement of fact is verifiability, that is, whether it can be demonstrated to correspond to experience. SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA.COM

5. You have multiple partners! Let’s face it, not everyone is monogamous. Many people actually believe that if they have been with a person for some time that it’s okay to not use condoms as long as they protect themselves when they’re with other people. Absolutely wrong! You should always use condoms.
6. Condoms have no side effects. Most people can use condoms with no problem — there are no side effects. Rarely, latex (rubber) condoms can cause irritation for people with latex allergies or sensitivities. And sometimes the lube on certain types of condoms may be irritating. If you’re allergic to latex, try switching brands or using plastic condoms. Condoms and internal condoms made from soft plastics like polyurethane, polyisoprene, and nitrile are latex-free. You can get non-latex condoms in most of the same places where standard condoms are sold. 7. You and your partner haven’t been tested. If you and your partner don’t know your status, then condoms are a must. Honestly you should want to know before you become sexually involved, but more often than not, that isn’t the case.
8. The condom may be purchased without a prescription. Most other contraception methods require the direct help of a health care provider along with a prescription. This makes condom use a great way to prevent many teen pregnancies. 9. Condoms do not physically alter the fertility of the person using them. They are a single-time “use and throw” contraception method. There is no hindrance to the person being able to conceive the very next time they want to have sex. 10. The product is freely available from a number of places, from grocery stores, to condom dispensing machines in public restrooms, and even online. It is possible to pick up a pack of condoms with great ease.
