* By Tshifhiwa Given Mukwevho

Napo Masheane is a multi-faceted individual: from writer, poet, producer, theatre and creative writing facilitator, and acclaimed performer on both international and national platforms. Masheane co-founded an all-woman poetry collective Feela Sister with equally talented members, Lebo Mashile, Myesha Jenkins and Ntsiki Mazwai. In her solo projects as a poet she went on to excel and proved to be a goddess in her own right.

* How do you describe yourself as an artist and human being respectively?

Well I am someone’s daughter, sister, mother, friend and partner. But I am also a creative soul that uses words to describe things, people, emotions and the world. My soul purpose as an artist is to breathe life into words.

* What have been your highlights in the arts industry?

There’s My Bum Is Genetic Deal With It, which is a one-woman play celebrating African bodies, shape and form. The Fat Black Women Sing is a five-women play full of South African music and again affirming

a different kind of beauty, image and look. Hair and Comb - A multi-cast play, which celebrates all kinds of hair. It says: - ‘Wear your hair- it doesn’t define you,’ and we find Mollo “The Woman In Me”- A musical play created with women using music, poetry, art and monologues to re-claim being an African woman who is proud, full, fun and gifted.

* How do you define poetry?I define poetry in three ways: “Hearing poetry is

like sucking milk from your mother’s breast, it is both nurturing and fulfilling. Writing poetry is like having a million flowers in your hands, always ready to greet the sunrise; and being a POET, is like when God, You and the Universe agree about something.

* You wrote and staged a theatrical play, My Bum is Genetic Deal with It. What motivated or inspired you to pen the work?

Media has a way of bombarding us with one definition of beauty, which fits into a box. As an African woman, I come from a family of women who are big, loud, strong, intelligent and fun.

Motivational Corner - By Humbelani Chantel Ndou

Dr Tshifhiwa SikhipaAs any ordinary child growing up; our common dreams are to become doctors, but very few manage to make their dreams materialise. Hard work and perseverance is what keeps the young vibrant Doctor going. This week Makoya brings to you the 28 year old ambition-driven Dr Tshifhiwa Sikhipha, who hails from Tshiulungoma, a few kilometres from Thohoyandou.

* Who is Dr Tshifhiwa Sikhipha?Well…Tshifhiwa is the 3rd born child of Mr

and Mrs Sikhipha, and was born on the 17th of May. I was raised in a Christian family and my parents, being leaders in a church, meant that my seven siblings and I had to be examples and live according to what God wanted us to live. I am a God-fearing woman who would go to any length to achieve my set goals.

* Your Educational background?I started Tshiulungoma primary school,

then did my high school at Thivhilaeli secondary and matriculated in 2000. During my high school days my parents kept preaching that I should change schools to go where my other siblings were attending; because the school was considered to be one of the lesser performing schools, but I kept telling them that I aimed to make history out of the school and proudly say; “YEAH! I did it!” After matriculating with several distinctions, went to Medunsa where I completed my Radiography Degree in record time and graduated with a Cum Laude (honours). I received several awards while studying there and was also honoured for being the best student in all courses.

Lol…Remember now, this was that girl from Thivhilaeli secondary doing all this! For me, the degree that I had received was not enough, and that is why, after doing community service at Tembisa, I decided to go back to University to study medicine. I went to the R Mandela school of Medicine in Kwazulu Natal where I achieved my MBCHB in 2009.

* What led you to changing careers?Serving the community made me realise

that Radiography was not for me; I got bored and nothing drove me to go to work. I remember my parents begging me to continue as a Radiographe,r but I just couldn’t keep up, I wanted to be the one instructing others on what to do. In my high school days we lacked career guidance, so I actually entered the course being clueless of what to expect.

* Where are you currently working, and what does your day to day Job entail?

I am currently working at Themba hospital in Nelspruit; Mpumalanga, and my day to day job entails meeting people who left their homes because something is not right in their bodies, and I get to apply God’s gift to help them. I take myself as God’s accessory that He uses to bring healing to His people.

* What are proudest moments that you have had in your Job?

The best days are those that you see your patients getting better each time, or when you get to rescue a person who comes to you half dead, and bringing them back to life gives me joy.

* What are the day to day challenges

your work brings?Having to work long hours, well…

I sometimes wish Doctors would get a day off duty, but that doesn’t happen. The other sad moments are those when you lose a patient after doing so much to save his or her life. It leaves us Doctors wondering where we have failed the patient; and trust me; breaking the news to the family becomes so hard for us.

* Who is your mentor?Dr Takie Makulane. I am where I

am today because of her motivation. I remember that she even bought me a stethoscope even before I had been accepted to study medicine. I love her too bits - *wink*.

* What is your motto?The sky is the limit,and with God

all things are possible. Watch out for Prof. Sikhipha very soon.

* What is your most treasured possession?

My BMW Sedan, I love her too much, so when you’re inside please don’t spill anything!

* On what occasions do you lie?Mmm… I don’t really lie, oh wait;

I lied to a guy last week, saying that I was married so that the guy could get off my back, lol! But on a serious note, I hardly lie.

* Your words of well wishes to the Matriculants?

You need to start believing in yourself for you to achieve it all.

Its exam time, and in few weeks’ time many of you will be facing your final end of the year exam. The stakes are high, nerves are tighter and pressure maybe too hard to handle.

As usual Makoya is here to scratch your back as we share with you a tit-bit of information that can help you kick away those exam blues. We always have your best interest at heart because we believe that everyone who puts an extra effort to their studies will always make it through to the next level.

* Firstly, relax and don’t panic: staying calm is majorly important, because stressing and panicking about exams and seeing them as intimidating won’t help. It will only make you more nervous. Just make sure that you understand your notes. Sleeping is good

therapy, so be sure you get enough sleep as it will help your brain to relax.

* Create a quiet environment: it is very important to have a calm space for your studies, with no interruption of music, TV, radio and games. If you can’t concentrate in silence, it is advisable to have soft, peaceful music in the background.

* Stay away from junk food: you should not associate yourself with too much junk food and during this time it is important to eat brain boosting food for physical and mental stability.

* Don’t overfeed yourself: getting control of your eating habits is very important during study time. Overfeeding yourself might turn out disastrous, as you might become too relaxed and fall asleep at your desk.

Try to eat food that will maintain your energy, like fresh fruits - especially bananas, berries, nuts and peanut butter. Whole grain bread, sardines, and green leafy vegetables like spinach are also very important.

Make notes while studying: making brief notes while studying is very helpful, as they will make it easy for you to go through the work, and if you’re stuck you can refer to the relevant chapter in the textbook. It is important to try this method as you study for your exam.

* Be positive: only a positive attitude will do, and during exam time it will help you to stay motivated.

Be organized and arrive early: arriving early to the exam room will help you relax and give you an opportunity to focus before the exam. “Impossible is

just a word written in the dictionary,” and if you know exactly what your doing and give it your best shot and focus, surely the results will be positive.

We are wishing you all the best!!

It’s exam time, but don’t panic, be prepared and stay positive!!* By Rendani Negovha

If you’re watching it from a distance you’ll only think that it is a minor problem of teenagers who are playing carelessly or pulling a stunt towards getting child grant money in order to afford themselves a pair of skin jeans. If, however, you’re watching it at close range, you will be astonished to see that is a fatal problem. In South Africa, 750,000 teenagers between the ages of 15-19 become pregnant every year.

For many years parents have found themselves in mind-battlefield, trying to find a smart solution to diagnose the cancer of teenage pregnancy which seems to have spread too far to be arrested. A few days ago I hooked up with two pairs of teenagers (two girls and two boys) and a young girl of 16 who experienced the early stage of motherhood at the age of 15.

As we started talking, it didn’t take long before I

realized that they didn’t know exactly what sex is all about, and why they got involved in it. One of them told me that she believes that dating and having sex at her age of 16 is not a problem because everybody is doing it and she does not understand why people always make a big deal out of it. I asked her if she knows about the consequences of engaging into unprotected sex. She was quick to say: “I trust my boy friend and I know he will never get me pregnant now.” “So having protected sex is about preventing pregnancy then?” I remarked.

(Martha* – not her real name) is a 16 year old that had a baby at the age of 15. She is a humble, down to earth girl, who can’t even hurt a fly. Through her eyes, you see an innocent soul with a great deal of future ahead, but when you hear that she has a one year old daughter, you’ll only have one thing in mind, “what was she thinking!” Luckily for her she has parents who understood her mistake. They took over the responsibility belonging to their daughter, so that she

could go back to school and make her dreams come, true if she dared.

“I didn’t know much about being pregnant until my mother confronted me about it. She was very inquisitive, and I had to answer everything honestly. After she had evaluated everything, she took me to the doctor who confirmed that indeed I was expecting. Just to make the matter worse, the baby’s alleged father denied her in front of her parents, leaving her anxious and depressed. They had met at a friend’s birthday party while she was doing grade 9, and he was already a university student. “He told me how much he loved me and I was also happy to be loved by a guy of his status, and because everyone knew him, I was more excited that I was dating a guy with a promising future.”

Martha claims that she didn’t know how it happened that she ended up falling pregnant after all, because she never thought of herself falling pregnant at her age. All she knew was that she was having sex with a man that she adored.

Martha’s child is growing up not knowing exactly who her father is, so I asked her what she’s going to tell her child when she becomes a teenager and stars dating, and what does she think the reason is that so many teenagers are falling pregnant. “I think I will have to tell her the truth. That way, I believe, she will be able to evaluate her ways and then decide what to do. As for us teenagers, I think we are a hard nut to crack because if a guy tells us that he loves us, we go with that without thinking, and from that point on we don’t mind giving them the whole of us, so maybe our parents should tell us only the truth, rather than telling us to stop seeing boys because it is too late for that, as we are already are seeing them. They should give us the real picture of what really happens when you start seeing a guy and having sex. It will be hard to listen but they shouldn’t give up!”

Martha confessed that she has learnt the hard way, and she has no one to blame but herself. Now she will only focus on her education as it is her only way to turn her mistake around. In this way she believes that if she’s educated she will be able to confront the truth and lay it down with her daughter, because if she is not educated the girl will not take her seriously.

From what I gathered from my conversation with the group of teenagers, many of them have no clear understanding about sex and relationships. Sex is part of a game which they believe it is due for them to play every now and then, however, they are careless not to think about the consequences that come with that. Now the question is who is to blame and how easily can we solve this matter? Our future is at stake!

- Continues from p1My big bum, hips and curves reflect people who love

me and people who are part of my life. I wanted to show the world that there’s nothing wrong with being full-figured or round or big or huge or fat or different. All of us are

Napo Masheane – A Goddess in the Artsbeautiful in our own unique way and we need to celebrate that every day.

* You have been performing poetry and dramatical works all over the world. Where do you get the source of energy to do it?

There can never be less energy. If you are an artist, stage is your second home. So whether you are on or off it, you are always ready to get on the road to tell another story, share a new poem or show many parts of what makes you human.

* What sustains your emotional and psychological self as an artist, with a hectic schedule to deliver all the time?

My relationship with God, a strong resemblance of my ancestors, and a sense of connection with my soul. When it gets hard or challenging I go back to a place where I can be with ALL of the above

* When did you last have a good company (time), and who were the people involved?

Hahahaha! It was on a resent trip to Limpopo with a bunch of writers: You (Tshifhiwa Given Mukwevho), Zukiswa (Wanner), Niq (Mhlongo), Vonani (Biula). It was the best time of my life, driving around and giving books to school kids who needed them most… the crazy conversations we had… the

humour and intellectual discussions we exchanged in… buying fruits from the market… eating out at a taxi rank…All those things made me feel a sense of belonging as a writer…

* In 2007 you published a poetry book, Caves Speak in Metaphors. Tell us about the book, and where readers can buy it.

Caves Speak In Metaphors was a must-do book. I had been writing for years and really wanted to put my work together. It is one book that I knew was going to help me let go of me (the younger poet)… so I wanted to put it out there so I can measure my growth and I am happy I did. People can buy it from me.

* What is your favorite food?Sushi!!! Sushi!!! Sushi!!! But not on anyone’s

body…. I am also a pasta girl, especially if I cooked it my self…

* What’s your next project?I am working on second poetry anthology “A

Fat Song For My Girl Friends”. I am re-working my play “Hair and Comb” for one of the big theatres in Gauteng. I am going to travel to the US soon (performing) and My Bum Is Genetic Deal With It is coming BACK!!!!

Meet someone who is doing something different instead of the usual. How many artists that can publish their music online before the album is released, and have no fear that it could be stolen away? Very few or none. This man here believes that it is for the best., and right now, through social network, he is already being considered by many people. After I had listened his music online, it gave me the view that he could become one of the best Limpopo hip-hop artists. I had a chat with him on Facebook get to know a little about him and his music.

* Who are you?I’m Muyai Thendo Joe, but mostly

known as MJT. I was born and bred at Masia Tshiphuseni, twenty something years ago. I do hip-hop music, in both English and Venda, the reason being that I want my music grow globally. I do not want other people who do not know Venda to be left out; everyone is covered on my music.

* How do you market your music?As you know, we are living in a

technologically advanced world, and I use the internet to distribute my music, and I am getting much love from my fans, that’s why I’m globally known. My music is free to download on http://www4shared.com/audio/4XrmRPzq/PJT_-_I_RUN.html People can also Halla me at me on Facebook and twitter (www.facebook.com/pjterror and www.twitter.com/pjterror ). I am always pasting the link of my free tracks on those sites.

* If you have to change anything in your music what would you change?

Every day there is something to change in my music, because I am ready to improve on where I started from.

* Tell me about the support from the friends and family.

I’ve got some friends who are not even fans of hip-hop, but hey! They listen to my music, and are very proud of what I do. Sometimes they let me freestyle for them, and it’s funny to me when they set my songs as ring tones on their cell phones. My family are people close to me; I am nothing without them, and I am something because of them. I am like the tree and they are my roots, I couldn’t stand like this without them.

* When did you discover your talent?

I cannot remember exactly, but it’s a long time ago. I used to imitate lot of rap songs until I said to myself; ‘I can do it also.’ My first record was in 2006, and I have been banging until now.

* Why did you decide to bring your music online before you released an album, and are you not afraid some people can steal your music?

I cannot just pop in with an album as unknown artist. I have to make my name first. I am not afraid of thugs, but I heard that there are some fake dudes using my name and they reform my songs, but people should know the real PJT.

Well PJT we wishing you all the best on your dream we hope it will come true, as you are working hard and giving it your very own best. We cannot wait for your album too. Keep it up.

Bush Train, the sixth and latest offer from the reggae artist BlackJahman, is packed with 13 tracks. His voice is deep and sharp, and in all songs he allows listeners to ride on the sonority of his voice as he moulds words and sings them out in his fashion. Like his previous works, the album shows ripened maturity.On the twelve-minute and thirty-nine second long track Liberation Warrior, he is furious and interrogates the Justice System: “… police tortured the town’s street hawkers and drove them away while they were trying to make a living – vuk’uziyenzele.” He cries for answers from Justice on is sues of Piracy, Maltreatment of the Teaching and Nursing professions, the corruption and bias of the “Traffic Department”. Betrayal of friendship is tackled in a desperate tone on the song Hippopotamus. In another song tribute is paid to Hudson Ntsan’wisi, and the track is strongly flavoured with flute. In Protect The Children he calls for the stop of chil-dren abuse. Bush Train is superb and refreshing, really.

The debut album contains sounds from the heart of someone who seems to know that in music, quality voice mat ters a great deal.However, from listening to her songs you get the impression that something in the case of instruments is missing. There is a sense of incompleteness about the work, but maybe this is part of her work, as this applies to her other album recorded from a different studio.The missing feature in this album renders it clean from a cluster of un ne ces sary instruments. The strength of Asnath’s music lies in her voice. With soulful 8 tracks, Nnyaravhe is a meditative album. Track 7 is Garaneni, done in Shona. This track calls for active dance movements and she ren ders it with sincerity of her soul. Play the song Nnyaravhe when you are ill or sad, and you will get on to your feet again.

The simple aspect for the arts critic about this essay could be the process of noting down the musician’s biographical details. The difficult and critical part might be the attribution of modifying qualities on the musician. What qualities do you attribute to the musician? How do you describe the musician’s voice (the issues that concerns his music or subjects he tackles)?

No musician, writer or sculptor is exempt from criticism or praise.

On Azwianewi Christopher Mathogo An Assessment of his contribution to Traditional Music

Now, here comes the critique. Azwianewi Christopher Mathogo was born some thirty four years ago in Mphireleni village, Ha-Budeli. He graduated from drumming cans and tins along the gravel streets of Mphireleni, to strumming the acoustic guitar which led him to recording his three full-length albums, mainly for airplay on radio stations.

His professionally released album, which he consequently considers as his first one, came out in 2011. The album, aptly titled Zwimangadzo, continues to receive national notice as more and more people hear the title song on radio stations and in front of the shops in towns, where Mathogo usually does promotions of the album.

When he is performing in town, pedestrians, taxi drivers and motorists come over to watch him perform. They fix eyes on him in awe, and listen to his sounds. Mathogo is the epitome of Tshivenda traditional music. However, it would only be irrational to declare this artist King of Tshivenda traditional music, for we have seen such abuse of words and opportunities carried out by journalists and entertainment writers on other new singers or musicians before.

Upon returning home from exile in the foreign lands, the late Busi Mhlongo sang new songs and remade new versions of the late Mfaz’omnyama’s maskandi anthems. Soon critics labelled her Queen of urban maskandi for the fact that she put some electros and quick tempos on the sound to create a vibe and gripping music.

Of Zwimangadzo, 87 percent material is new, original work, and the remainder percentage goes to the re-worked indigenous songs which have through the years been imbedded into the barn of Tshivenda folklore or culture.

Mathogo’s themes are diverse. In the first song Mulomo, he comments on the matter of having a child whom you as a father hold the knowledge that

the offspring is yours. But the talk of the village says the opposite: The child is not yours. Still, they never say who the biological father might be in this case. The ‘father’ is aggrieved by the village talk. The artist only implies that people should stop saying things they are not part of, and consider only matters that concern them and their lives. People are killing each other because of nonsensical village talks like this one, reproaches the musician.

The above song is in two parts: First he introduces himself as an artist, calling for all people to come over to witness a new talent in the industry, then an interlude enters and he comes forth with the lyrics about the unlikely fatherhood. The sounds draw influence heavily from the music of the late Amon Mvula, especially the bass guitar, and the rest is maskandi-related.

In a recent newspaper interview, Mathogo acknowledged that he holds maskandi music in high regard. In almost all his songs, exempting the two instrumental versions, he uses the maskandi style of praise poetry and he does it so perfectly that he reminds listeners of the Phuz’ikhemisis, Mfaz’omnyamas and Bheki Luthulis of this world.

The title song Zwimangadzo is a masterpiece which will definitely stand the test of time; its introduction is influenced by the sqathamiya genre of the Zulu traditional music, where words are sung without the accompaniment of instruments. The bass guitar here is between Xitsonga traditional music which was popularised by the likes of Thomas Chauke and Elias Baloyi, and maskani genre. All the rest are new experiments to be found nowhere, if not

from this young

musician himself, as he experiments with the sounds which are the fundamental feature in the songs of the greats of

Tshivenda traditional music, Daniel Luambo,

Albert Mundalamo and Abel Ramufhi.

In the song Zwimangadzo he speaks about issues of fidelity, hypocrisy, immorality

and disobedience. Zwimangadzo earned himself a nomination in the Best Male Category of the

annual South African Traditional Music Awards (SATMA), 2011

session.There is no doubt that Mathogo has

given himself quality time listening to good music from across the genres and cultures, and that’s exactly what makes his music unique and familiar at one and the same time.

Yet, once you have listened to his music there’s a strong sense of familiarity in it: You think that you have listened to it before, but as to where you might have encountered it, is something without an answer.

Mathogo is a musician who might even travel to places afar as his music demands so, and peoples from all cultures would celebrate his sounds because of the ‘familiarity’ aspect in his sounds. Mathogo is not merely a singer, he is a musician.

MAKOYA ALBUMKate Mushi’s

Birthday Party

An exquisite all white theme

Kate Mushi celebrated her birthday last month in style and class. Lady K, as she is popularly known, invited friends and family who came from around the country to grace her finest day of the year.

In keeping with the tradition that a lady never reveals her age, you’ll just have to match up the numbers in the cakes to see how young she was turning – lol!

Snow Princess Party - symbolised Kate Mushi’s transformation from youth to young adult hence princess to Queen. The idea of being a snow princess of the night was her boyfriend’s idea, as to him, it symbolised her pure personality that she is a kind of person who likes helping people when she can, so that really inspired

the idea. “Well I chose to put on a crown since I felt this frolic day was my coronation in to adulthood”, she said.

The 1st part of the party was held at Tuscan BBQ where all who had been invited enjoyed dinner. Speeches and gifts were also handed out there. The birthday lady tells us; “since the theme was snow princess, I figured there should be a dinner which resembles ancient or royal dinner parties, so the place had to be prepared according to the theme, it was very beautiful...I tell u!”

The after party took place at MOLOKO in Pretoria (Hatfield) as you can see from the beautiful photos. “I love the place because of the good music and their excellent catering, and we danced the night away with my best friends. It was amazing”, she adds.
