26 years ago, outside CALABASH in Benmore, Sandton. This picture must have been taken around 4 or 5am on a Monday morning, our usual time to leave the club. The weekly entertainment circuit was legendary: Wednesday jazz at Bassline in Melville; Thursday more jazz at Jabulani Bar at the Hyatt Hotel Rosebank, followed by dancehall nights at Tandoor in Yeoville; Fridays would either be The Rock ko SOWETO or Who’s WHO Fourways. Saturdays at Rock n Roll Palace in Midrand and Sundays at Calabash to complete the weekend.
Those were the days when the nightlife in JHB was easy, carefree, safe and affordable.
Thank you, Sbu, for this memory. I still can’t get over how Kabelo looked like a teen among us😂😂😂
May Cyril’s soul continue to rest in peace.

Nikiwe Bikitsha, Chair of the Nelson Mandela Foundation’s Dialogue and Annual Lecture Subcommittee, introduced this year’s speaker, President Juan Manuel Santos.
Reflecting on the theme, “When is silence complicity?”, she challenged us to consider our responsibility to others in a world marked by conflict, inequality and injustice.
“Whatever happened to the ideal of a shared humanity?”

The QUEEN of Afro-Pop.
The kids now call it A-pop but let’s not erase the history and who the queens were!
Pop star bar non! The dancing, the singing, the outfits, the cultural relevance!
LEBO MATHOSA.

Two black gay lovers from the Civil War era through the mid 20th century captured a private affectionate moment.
I just smiled at the way they were dancing on the sandy beach with their patterned swim short.
We have always existed even in love ❤️
