Felicia was so important
From the archives! Remembering a star and diva #LeboMathosa of #Boomshaka who sadly died in a car accident on this day October 23, 2006. MHSRIP but her legacy live for ever. Pleased to have featured them on the #FeliciaShow. Continue to keep the legacy alive #ThembiSeete.
I don’t know how to express this , but Lebo Mathosa made me feel comfortable in my skin as a gay man.
Taught me that’s it’s ok to be , without fear , ube uwe nje.
She didn’t care for opinion and she left an indelible mark.

Last night i went to see @Bongeziwe at The One Room in GQ. All he has to do is play the intro, and the audience takes over, singing every word with so much love. Watching how deeply people connect with his music, and how his songs live in their hearts was moving. ❤️

When you’re black , excellence is never enough!
This guy is definitely consuming something illegal because he is touching 150 km/h continuously.
At the final stage of a career, everyone's pace drops, but how is his increasing? He is definitely doing something different
Normal human can't do what he is doing currently so need proper cheking of his diet
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Kagiso Rabada, the bowler in the video, is 31 and has reached 150+ km/h speeds throughout his career via training and fitness. Recent deliveries fit his profile with no evidence of illegal performance-enhancing substances.
