Congratulations Abey!

Kudos to Abey Mokgwatsane who has been appointed Group CEO of the VWV Group.

I think the Media industry and not just the company are indeed a whole lot better with guys like Abey steering ships like VWV through unchartered territory.

Welcome To Lusaka

The Lusaka Intercontinental Hotel has commissioned a beautiful video inviting people to visit Lusaka.



I saw the elephant in the opening sequence and wondered how on earth anyone would have found an elephant in or remotely anywhere close to Lusaka. However, Shula in the video introduces "Phoenix" the elephant to us. Phoenix is a resident at the Munda Wanga Zoo and Botanical Gardens near Chilanga. How could I have forgotten Munda Wanga? I've been outside Zambia way too long!!!

Nuff respect to Leonard Nelson for placing the video on his blog.

New Kirk Franklin Album Out December 2007

I can't wait ... I just can't wait any more.

Kirk Franklin's next studio project, "The Fight Of My Life", comes out on the 18th of December, 2007.

Mbanandi, my youngest brother, has been going on about how great his latest single,"Declaration (This Is It)" , is for a while now but I've been avoiding going to his website to listen to it. Until today ...

Kirk is one of those artists that makes me hold my breath whenever he goes back into the studio to work on a full album. My fear being whether or not he still has it in him to put a phenomenal album out especially given that he is one of the few recording artists that can out sell his/her last effort, experiment with new sounds and still remain relevant. His last album "Hero" which also went multi-platinum got me through the most depressing period I've been through in my life.


"Declaration" is an awesome song. It is simply amazing and I can't wait to listen to the rest of the album. If you're a fan or merely want to sample "Declaration" head over now to his oficial website - Kirk Yeah, yeah, yeah ...
