When The Filter Fade – Book Review

Posted on May 8, 2024

We’re still taking a break from self-help books, and the second novel this year is “When the Filter Fades” by Janine Jellars. This book delves into the world of social media fame, where curated realities reign supreme. Or do they? The story follows three ambitious women in Johannesburg, all vying for a piece of the influencer pie. In a world where the moral compass is compromised for fame and fortune, the three characters Lin, Lebo and Mbali take us through their worlds, not without twists and turns.

Without giving away too much here is what I enjoyed about the book.

Relatable Characters

Jellars …

Posted on March 8, 2024

I’m so down for you… I’m so down for you baby…

Five days later, and I’m still riding the wave of joy and euphoria from one of the most enchanting performance to date. The crowd, the open field, the OOTD (outfit of the day), Simmy and most notably, Xavier Omar’s voice and stage presence. Join me as I recount when the magical journey that began.

Happy World Radio Day 2024

Posted on February 13, 2024

Today marks 100 years of radio under the theme “Radio: A century informing, entertaining and educating”.

I have the honour and the privilege of hosting POWER Experience on POWER 98.7, every Saturday from 2-6pm. When I took on the role as a host of POWER Experience, I was given two clear objectives. The first was to attract a younger audience, and the second was to enjoy what I do, which, frankly, was the easy part. Hosting the show for four hours is an absolute pleasure for me, and I eagerly anticipate every moment.

If you still haven’t listened to the show, where have …

The Sex Lives of African Women – Book Review

Posted on January 26, 2024

In January, I embark on my annual tradition of immersing myself in books that deviate from the typical “new year, new me” narrative. After last year’s fascination was with Will Smith’s autobiography, this year I chose to explore “The Sex Lives of African Women” by Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah, a book that had piqued my curiosity for some time. Contrary to my initial expectations. Within the first few pages of the book, I realized that what I was expecting from the book vs. the actual book was worlds apart, in an interesting way.

“The Sex Lives of African Women” by Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah is a …

The Pole Journey

This year, I discovered just how amazing my body is and I realized that she truly has my back. Instead of fixating on reaching the next level, I focused on enjoying the journey, and as a result, I find myself on the verge of being in the advanced level and comfortably doing the splits. One …

Lessons from the Springboks

Posted on November 1, 2023

What an extraordinary moment to be alive in South Africa, reminiscent of the 2010 soccer World Cup with fond memories of our mascot, Zakumi and the vuvuzelas. Although our soccer journey was cut short back then, the excitement and unity we experienced remain etched in our hearts. The recent triumph of the Springboks couldn’t have come at a better time for a nation grappling with its fair share of challenges, often lightened by our unique sense of humor in the face of financial hardships. With taxes and salaries that don’t always align, we still find reasons to smile. Instead of dwelling on our struggles, let’s …

My First Cupping Experience

Posted on July 27, 2023

Ya neh… I like things, lol.

Last year this time I tried waxing for the first time and this year I’m back with another first, I added cupping to my full body massage. In true Kgoshigadi style, I didn’t completely know what it would do. I just knew I had a lot of tension on my shoulders mostly due to pole dancing and constantly carrying my body weight. I’m supposed to go for a massage at least once a month but I skipped a month. Don’t worry, I’m back to doing the right thing. Back to the subject at hand. What led me to this …

iWeekend enkulu finally arrived… I say this because it was also my birthday weekend. More than anything I was excited to see what the Royal Polo Day had in store for the second year. We witnessed the first one and as with any first-time event, lots of mistakes were made but we managed to have a good time nonetheless. The big question is, how was the 2022 edition?

The weekend enkulu started on the 30th of September. After my birthday breakfast, I headed to the station happy and ready for the road trip to Rustenburg. The programme was the Gala Dinner on Friday and a …
