Conversations With La Nkosi

Mzwakhe Mbuli's event organizing and public appearances required time, effort, and resources, all of which should be fairly compensated. His services were rendered as a professional he did not do so voluntarily, and it is only fair that he receives compensation in line with industry standards. In this episode we get into it

It is no secret that of late, our frustration with regards to the inconsistency of the Minister of Electricity has been on the rise. To add more paraffin into the fire, there is skepticism about whether load shedding, a common occurrence in South Africa, will ever come to an end.
Thank you for lending an ear 🤍

It is apparent that the manipulation of the South African Rand by 28 major banks has had a profound impact on the country and its people. The repercussions of these actions extend beyond mere financial losses, reaching the very fabric of society. The quest for justice and a more transparent financial system must continue. Let's get into it.

Thank You For Lending An Ear 💜

In today's episode we unpack Mam'Busisiwe Mkhwebane's suspension.

A Poem 🤍

Welcome to the section of Conversations With La Nkosi, where we spend a few minutes uncovering the stories that matter most to children of the Mother continent. From politics and conflict to economic progress, flops and overall development.

The National Shutdown which survived the winds of propaganda generated by the SA Government under the ANC and its partner in oppression the DA was a success. It also marked the start of a new era, where ANC officials expose themselves through the jabs they throw on social media and public platforms. If this is what the new dawn meant then they can keep it and allow the citizens of the country decide on which government they would want in charge. In today's episode we talk about how successful the shutdown was and what came out of it.

I'm done with the selective outrage. Putting an end to corruption became a motto that helped them instill a sense of hope and their capability to achieve this goal, however this did not end well due to their failure to uproot the cause of corruption without being biased in their approach. We are faced with a problem of crooks in suits, that carry badges who hold senior positions that are alleged to have been parachuted by Mme Patricia M and she has proof which implicates the man with the hat who is a supposed anti-corruption activist, he was never scrutinized like Mr Digital Vibes which led to his resignation. A bold move that was clearly politically fuelled, however it wasn't enough motivation for the man with the hat to walk the plank. Where was Cele's energy during the #PhoenixMassacre?

This is for those who claim to be patriots on the voyage to free Southy from "foreigners" who were born on the mother continent, you need to stop it with the weirdness and wake up!

There's a void in the South African media and it is more evident now than it has been before, they have turned into entertainment news specialists pulling away from being the sole providers of hard news and their sense of reporting in an objective manner.
In today's episode we talk about this Weirdness and the effect it has. (

Ever heard of an Akan queen who led her people from modern-day Ghana to the Ivory Coast around the 1770's where she founded the Baole nation? In this episode we get into who this #PhenomenalWoman was 🖤 For more information about the Baole kindly check out:https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.dw.com/en/queen-abla-pokou-mother-of-the-ivorian-baoule-people-ivory-coast-ghana-african-roots/a-56976129

It is not a requirement for the military to take over after a successful military coup although it is highly possible for them to present the ring leaders of the coup as preferred civilians that are 'fit enough' to lead and this is done in such a way as to push the idea of democratic legitimacy even though it's all for show.

The Mother continent seems to be prone to this as the immunity we thought we had is nothing compared to the disease being the lust of power showcased by the same leaders who claim to be what the country their leading needs only for them to sentence their own people to poverty and slavery birthing more monsters waiting for their own turn to further destroy their nations' in this episode we touch onto the dangers of these transitions and what happened in Mali. 🇲🇱

Ma Tambo's story and the life she lived is not only a beautiful one but an inspiration, she was a sister, a friend and a mother to those around her, she led with grace and humility and never changed the person she was in order for her to be accepted she embraced her africanness and was able to fill the void between the 'educated ones' and the oppressed through speaking her truth and standing her ground. She advocated for African women to be accepted as they were irregardless of their way of articulation because she understood how oppression impacted their lives. Mama's spirit continues to live on in the lives of the women from Ekurhuleni. In this episode we celebrate the queen that she was and still is❤️ #WomensMonth #conversationswithlankosi #BlackHistory blog:http://lankosiwrites.home.blog/2021/08/09/mme-adelaide-frances-tambo/

The month August holds a specific significance in the consciousness of our nation, it it that time of the year where we give more prominence than any other month to the resilience, courageousness and steadfastness of women the torch bearers of our aspirations and dreams.

It is these women who made it possible for a young black woman like me to articulate, speak my truth and stand my ground. It would be very weird for me not to celebrate these women and their work. I am here because of them.

Among these South African Heroines is the beautiful Mme Victoria Nonyamezelo Mxenge, may her spirit continue to live on in our hearts and may her legacy continue to shine on in the lives of those it was meant to empower and change for the better. In today's episode we celebrate the life of uMama Victoria Nonyamezelo Mxenge also highlighting the disgusting hand the apartheid regime had in her and her husband's assassination.

The president came out to applaud those using private security and vigilantism to 'protect their communities' this then led to Europeans and Indians parading the streets, terrorizing, burning shacks and deliberately shooting unarmed black South Africans all in the name of 'protecting themselves' now this was after the president publicly incited ethnic violence. In this episode we look into the #PhoenixMassacre seeing that little is being done about it, ours is to continue to speak on it. There's nothing beautiful about this new dawn.
Black people were humiliated, their humanity degraded with the taking of lives but the silence on the matter grew louder by the day especially from these foundations that parade themselves as representatives of the masses.

In an attempt to further silence his voice and jail him the country's highest court exposed it's biasness.


South Africa's former President Jacob Zuma has been sentenced to 15 months in jail by the country's highest court.The sentence came after the Constitutional Court found him guilty of contempt for defying its order for him to appear at an inquiry about corruption in the country while he was president.
In this episode we speak on the true capturers of the state and their quest to deal with the former president unapologetically in the name of justice. Corruption by government is an evil I despise as it contributes to the delay of the emancipation and liberation of our people in any African country. I believe in exposing it and rooting it out but the approach must not be biased as it defeats the purpose of improving the situation.

Expressing my views and supporting everyone's right to Free Speech permits me to make my thoughts known and keep fighting the System of Oppression.. Filtering out the rhetoric and the propaganda allows us to form informed opinions based on logic and reason. I am not about to keep quiet when injustice creeps nor am I going to sit down and allow falsified versions of our history as children of the soil be distributed because that too contributes to the problem! One of my fav quotes by Baba Credo Mutwa: "A country that speaks against it's heritage, is a dead country" now with what we are being fed, the content degrades our africanness! degrades our customs and traditions all in the name of religion and some form of salvation-that's where I come in bethuna! This season will consist of ✨exposing the lies we were and are still being fed. ✨Educating ourselves about our history before the infiltration of the white man. ✨Celebrating our Phenomenal Women Of Color. ✨ Keeping the entertainment globe on, with our interesting and highly informative African myths.

The ongoing protests against the king of Eswatini turned into a violent one with the blood of the innocent being shed all in the name of 'observing protocol'

In the final episode of this season we speak on the recent series of events that transpired also referring to past actions that may have contributed to the worsening of this problem. Eswatini is burning and the silence of this fire is loud there seems to be no state of emergency from the AU or even SADC itself! The sole purpose of this is to speak on what is happening so more noise is made!

In this episode we dive into who Mme Wangari Maathai was and why we continue to celebrate and work towards honoring the remarkable legacy she left behind.

Mme Wangari was among the 800 young Africans who studied in the United States through the Kennedy Airlift Scholarship program in the 1960s. She then went on to become the First woman from the East and Central Africa to obtain a doctoral degree; and then became the first female associate professor in the East and Central Africa.

One can not not tell you about this phenomenal woman of color, a Queen is what she was and an inspiration to us daughters of the soil she continues to be. 🖤
