“A Crown Beyond Gold: The Soothing, Spirited and Soulful Beauty of Nita Singh”

In the age of fleeting trends and echo chambers of empty fame, it is rare — almost sacred — to encounter a woman whose beauty does not merely reside in mirror reflections or stage lights, but blooms deeply from purpose, principle, and presence.

Such is the enduring, ethereal spirit of Nita Singh — a name now etched into the vibrant cultural scroll of Mahikeng and the luminous path of the Mrs. India Worldwide South Africa Pageant 2025, taking place in Durban from the 28th of June.

At 46, Nita Singh does not merely represent a province — she represents possibility. She does not just walk onto the stage — she steps into the footprints of generations of women who have quietly built empires of resilience.

From the heart of Mahikeng, North West Province, she rises — not as a contestant alone, but as a beacon for the daughters of dust and dream, for the women who were told their season had passed, and for every soul still daring to become.

She is not new to crowns — but to her, the real ones are invisible. They rest not on heads, but on shoulders of women who carry communities, who plant seeds of confidence where despair once grew, and who turn wounds into wisdom.

Through her trailblazing platforms — Empowered Women Empower Women and Image Models North West — Nita has transformed modeling from a beauty pageant to a school of healing, a sanctuary of self-worth, and a battlefield for reclaiming identity.

Her story is one stitched together with silk and sweat, elegance and effort.
For over two decades, Nita has nurtured the modeling industry in her province — not for vanity, but for value.

In the image consultancy rooms where she works, young girls do not simply learn how to pose — they learn how to stand, to walk forward into life with poise, with power, and with pride.

She is a certified professional model, an experienced instructor, an image consultant, and a revered pageantry judge whose gaze is not critical but caring, always seeking the story behind the smile.

Her influence has touched the ramps of Miss Teen Universe, inspired hopefuls in dusty halls of local communities, and guided unpolished diamonds into confident stars.

Yet, the light of Nita Singh glows brightest when she moves off-stage — into the homes, hearts, and hopes of her people. In the last year alone, she has quietly launched initiatives that speak to a forgotten language in pageantry: healing.

From mental wellness workshops to confidence-building sessions, from beauty techniques rooted in self-love to educational empowerment projects, Nita has been whispering power into women who had almost forgotten their worth.

She speaks the dialects of dignity and discipline. She mentors not just for catwalks, but for life’s slippery turns.

Her programs uplift the body, soothe the spirit, and awaken a mind that dares to dream anew. For Nita, beauty is not flawless skin but fearless vision. It is not about age — it is about agency.

And so, as she prepares to walk under the spotlight in Durban, she carries Mahikeng with her. Not as a place alone, but as a philosophy.

She carries the warmth of the North West sun, the echo of indigenous lullabies, and the prayers of every girl she has ever taught to lift her chin and speak her truth.

She represents those who were told they were too dark, too old, too late, too little — and she defies every box with grace and fire.

Mrs. India Worldwide South Africa Pageant 2025 may be a stage, but for Nita, it is also a sacred drumbeat — a call to showcase that beauty, when fused with purpose, can heal nations. She will not be performing — she will be prophesying. Her walk will not be rehearsed — it will be remembered.

In a world that often forgets the stories behind the shimmer, may we not forget Nita Singh. A woman who does not just model fashion — she models courage. A mother, a mentor, a mirror for every woman seeking to rediscover herself.

Let us rise with her. Let us celebrate her not just for the crown she may wear, but for the countless invisible crowns she has helped other women lift onto their own heads.

In her story — there is ours. In her rise — we all ascend.

Nita Singh: She will not just be walking on a runway in Durban. She will be walking into history.

Father’s Day Wish; from the Road-Worn Hands of Men To Our Beloved

To the hearts we cherish,
To the ones who hold us not just in arms but in prayers and purpose —

This Father’s Day, we ask not for grand feasts or fine ties,

But for something simple, symbolic, and soul-stirring: A fresh set of tires beneath our car, and a full tank of petrol in our engine.

Yes — rubber and fuel. Not for vanity or escape,
But so we can drive this journey — of love, family, and forever — just a little further, Just a little deeper than even you imagined we could.

You see, we are the quiet engines of this household. We carry the weight — of groceries, of unspoken worries, of sleepy children in the backseat.

We steer through storms — financial, emotional, and sometimes just rush hour traffic. And when life hits potholes, we grip the wheel a little tighter — because we know you’re counting on the direction we take.

New tires aren’t just rubber to us..They’re safety for the ones we love, They’re peace of mind when the journey is long, They’re our way of saying: "I plan to keep showing up. Every time."

And that full tank?
It’s not just fuel — it’s a symbol. That we still have miles in us.

That we’re not just here for the short trips or the easy drives, We’re here for the long haul — detours, delays, dead ends and all.

So this Father’s Day,
If you feel moved to give — give us that bit of road beneath our feet and fire in our tank. Not just so we can go places, But so we can take you there, safe, sound, and surrounded by love.

Because when we say we want to drive a little further, It’s not to be away from you , It’s deeper into this life with you. Further into fatherhood, And closer to the heart of home.

With love, grit, and gratitude

From all the men who still believe love should have good traction and a full tank.

NB : Lady's if you have done that; please paste your picture and slip for proof... it's challenge let's show some luv...

REVIEW ARTICLE: KGANG YA BORRE - MEN’S SITTING – MOSIANE VIEW, 08 JUNE 2025 | 17H30
“REAL and SPOT – A Call for Vulnerable Courage”

In the golden hour of Sunday, 08 June 2025, as the winter sun quietly descended over Mosiane View, a deeply significant gathering of men took place.

Twenty-six (26) men were in attendance, with eleven (11) having sent apologies. This was no ordinary meeting—it was an emotionally stirring, truth-telling circle of men grappling with the real, unspoken and often unbearable weight of life, family, relationships, finances, s*x, trauma, and identity in modern society.

Anchored by a spirit of brotherhood and courageous vulnerability, the session invited the men to shed societal expectations of silence and stoicism.

Through personal confessions, shared pain, and the highly symbolic A–Z Parable Exercise, participants opened a door to healing, self-awareness, and community support. This is a comprehensive reflection on what emerged.

THE ENGAGEMENT – SETTING THE TONE

The gathering was informal, yet powerful—initiated by an open sharing session, where one man courageously spoke about the sudden loss of his wife without warning or marital conflict. Despite now being remarried, he admitted to being haunted by the trauma and lack of closure from the previous marriage.

This story became a mirror for many in the room: a question emerged—"How do men process unresolved trauma, especially in relationships?"

Further probing brought up the desire for platforms where men can openly talk about their wives or partners even in their absence—but also a deeper yearning to do so in their presence, fostering communication, transparency, and healing within relationships themselves.

KEY THEMES AND CHALLENGES RAISED

1. Absence in Fatherhood & Family Time

Participants unanimously expressed frustration with the modern education system, which often leaves fathers alienated from their children’s lives.

With children at school most of the day, doing homework in the evenings, attending church on Sundays, and participating in extra-mural activities, fathers find little to no time to instill moral teachings, life skills, and discipline. Combined with work demands, this led many to question:
“When do I get to father my child?”

2. S*x, Stress, and Satisfaction

Another layer of honesty emerged when men addressed topics that society often avoids. Some shared their fears and struggles around s*xual performance, libido, and even physical insecurities—“Can a small p***s satisfy a woman?”—asked one man, sparking raw empathy.

Others spoke of feeling s*xually inadequate, overworked, or emotionally disconnected, while expected to be the providers, protectors, and pillars.

3. Money Matters and Expectations

The fear of opening up about finances—to wives, partners, or even children—was a deeply embedded theme.

Many men acknowledged that secrecy around money has created unrealistic expectations, broken trust, and sometimes led to conflict, resentment, or even marital breakdowns.

Yet, vulnerability about finances often feels like failure in a world that equates manhood with provision.

THE A–Z PARABLE EXERCISE – A POWERFUL TOOL OF REVELATION

Each man was asked to select a letter of the alphabet that reflected a core challenge in his life. What followed was profound:

F – Family: Jealousy and internal hatred among siblings, cousins, and extended family.

R – Responsibility: Admission of having abandoned responsibilities, often blaming others.

H – Health: Struggles with chronic illnesses like kidney failure; limited support from partners.

T – Trust: Paranoia, betrayal, emotional walls from past disappointments.

C – Compassion: The pain of being too giving and receiving nothing in return.

O – Opportunities: Stereotypes prevent men from being seen as in need.

I – Integrity: Lost through poor decisions, childhood trauma, and broken homes.

S – Struggle: A daily hustle for survival with little recognition or progress.

S – Satisfaction: Emotional and physical dissatisfaction in relationships.

P – Patience: Quick tempers, low tolerance, suicidal thoughts in moments of despair.

D – Dreams: Deep belief in dreams as life-guiding, which causes tension with family.

Q – Quality Time: Absence of genuine time spent with wives and children.

E – Energy: No motivation unless in a team; loneliness is draining.

C – Character: Being “too soft” and taken advantage of by family and friends.

A – Altruism: Chronic people-pleasing leading to burnout and resentment.

L – Loner: Isolation as a coping mechanism that damages relationships.

T – Trust (again): Repeated inability to trust leads to failed relationships.

I – Infidelity: Serial cheating; lack of discipline and betrayal of self and others.

S – S*x (again): Addiction; inability to function without it.

L – Life: Existential crisis – wife gone, daughter distant, mother-in-law hostile.

This alphabet became more than an exercise—it became a map of collective male struggle. From emotional trauma to s*xual shame, family betrayal to financial fatigue, the men painted a brutally honest picture of the unspoken mental and emotional battles that shape their day-to-day lives.

EMERGING INSIGHT: REAL and SPOT

As the evening concluded, the men chose to brand their collective truth with a mantra:
“REAL and SPOT”
Which now lives as their call to be:

> REAL – about their inner worlds, flaws, struggles, needs, and truths.
SPOT ON – in naming issues precisely and confronting them without fear or shame.

This powerful statement became more than a slogan. It became a moral compass and rallying cry for the men to pursue transformation—personally, emotionally, spiritually, financially, and relationally.

RECOMMENDATIONS MOVING FORWARD

This sitting clearly highlighted the urgent need for more consistent, structured men's dialogues that offer not just safe spaces, but actual solutions, such as:

1. Therapeutic Support Circles – Including access to professional counselors and psychologists.

2. Family Dialogues – Future sessions where wives and children are invited to co-heal.

3. Financial Literacy Programs – That address money shame, debt, and transparent provision.

4. Fatherhood and Masculinity Workshops – To redefine what it means to be a man, partner, and father in today’s world.

5. Health Screenings & Referrals – Especially for men with chronic or mental health issues.

6. Spiritual and Cultural Guidance – Bridging modern struggles with traditional healing systems.

CONCLUSION

The 08 June 2025 Men’s Sitting at Mosiane View was more than a meeting—it was a revolution of truth. It proved that beneath the surface of strength lies deep wounds, and beneath the silence of men lies a hunger to be heard, healed, and held.

“REAL and SPOT” must now become not just a motto—but a movement: For the betterment of the self, the strength of our families, and the future of our communities.

The path has been set. The men have spoken. The healing has begun.

MARKET WA PITORI: A VIBE, A MOVEMENT, A LIFESTYLE! ; A HEAVEN OF STREET CULTURE, SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE...🇿🇦🖤

This past weekend, Centurion Mall was transformed into more than just a shopping destination – it became the epicenter of culture, hustle, fashion, flavour, and Pitori power! Welcome to Market Wa Pitori, a proudly black, unapologetically local, and unapologetically lit experience. If you weren’t there, you missed HISTORY in motion!

From the moment you pulled up, the setup was on point – crisp, professional, and well-lit like a Netflix production. The “All Black Everything” theme didn’t just speak to the dress code – it screamed Black Excellence, Black Power, and Black Lives that Matter.

THE VIBE? UNMATCHED. THE PEOPLE? WARM & WELCOMING.

Ba Pitori came out looking like luxury! 🙌🏾
Mantobazadi were dressed to kill – finesse, style, and confidence on full blast! “Aaaaii soka maan!” was all we could say as queens stepped through like they owned the land (because they do!).

From the jump, the ticketing booth reception was professional, fast and friendly – the crew, security, ushers – all on form, showing love and keeping the vibe safe and flowing. Salute to the team who made it look easy! 💪🏾

BO-MAGUDZUMELA: The Hustlers, The Breadwinners!

Market Wa Pitori is more than just a hangout – it’s an economic revolution. The real MVPs? The SMMEs, entrepreneurs, and brand owners who turned passion into profit. From perfumes that slap, to custom sweaters, sneakers, handmade accessories, and fashion statements – the brands were DOPE AF! 👟💼🔥

THE FOOD? AYIIIII 🔥

Now let’s talk flavour!
The strata, the saucy sausages, the loaded platters – yoh, my personal favourite! This wasn’t food – it was an edible experience! You could taste the love, hustle and kasi pride in every bite. Delicious, proudly local and straight up addictive.

VIP HOSPITALITY & MUSIC? NEXT LEVEL!

The VIP setup? Wooooow. Classy, well curated, with a killer view of the action. Shout out to the sponsors who understood the assignment – investing in black brilliance never looked this good. 💼✨

And the line-up? CRAZY.
It started chilled with Afropop vibes for the sunset, easing into Afrotech, 3-step sound, a touch of lekompo, and finally, the cherry on top – that hip-hop segment that TOOK US HOME! 🔥

My highlight?
SANDESH & CRAZY KYOTIC DA DJ – explosive set! I call him DJ MOFEREFERE, 'cause the way he had us di ferekanya, kosha tsena! 🔥🔥🔥

IF YOU MISSED IT…

Next time, don’t say we didn’t warn you. Market Wa Pitori isn’t just an event – it’s a culture capsule, a celebration of who we are, what we hustle for, and where we’re headed as creators, bosses, and black excellence in motion.

Whether you’re coming for the music, the food, the vibe, the shopping, or the squad energy, make sure to pull up. Because when Pitori people do it? They do it with flavour, fire, and finesse. 🔥✊🏾

So here’s my final word…

Market Wa Pitori, I see you. I felt you. I’ll be back.
Peace, love and power to the people ba Pitori.

05/06/2025

“Odirile - Presley Oageng Cobrizi Chweneyagae, Lefatshe le Bone Manontlhotlho a Gago” — Kgosiemang Solomo Itumeleng's ( Kgosi Keapapetla) Heart-Tearing Tribute Echoes Through Matsheng Village In Taung and Beyond...

In the quiet, dusty paths of Taung’s Matsheng Village, a hauntingly beautiful sound now floats through the air — a Setswana acapella masterpiece that silences even the wind. It is not just music. It is mourning. It is memory. It is a farewell from a king of sound to a fallen giant of storytelling.

Kgosiemang Solomo Itumeleng, affectionately known by his musical title “Kgosi Keapapetla,” is no stranger to commanding hearts through rhythm.

Twice crowned with a SATMA Award, the revered traditional Setswana musician has now penned and performed one of his most powerful and soul-shaking compositions yet — a tribute song for the late Presley Oageng “Cobrizi” Chweneyagae, a legend whose voice and presence shaped the narrative of Setswana arts and culture.

The song, titled “Odirile - Presley Oageng Cobrizi Chweneyagae, Lefatshe le Bone Manontlho a Gago,” does not begin with fireworks — it begins with a whisper, a harmony born of grief.

Fused with echoes reminiscent of Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s isicathamiya brilliance and remembering the sound Rustenburg Boys in the golden day's, Kgosiemang weaves sorrow, reverence, and deep Setswana pride into a masterpiece that is both heartbreaking and heart-healing.

“Odirile... Cobrizi... lefatshe le bone manontlhotlho a gago...”(You have done it, Cobrizi... the world has witnessed your scars and strength...)

These words strike not only as lyrics but as a cry from the soul of a nation. They speak of a man who lived, fought, created, and gave everything to the cultural lifeblood of his people. Presley Cobrizi was more than an artist — he was a vessel of heritage, a bearer of the truth, and a griot whose voice carried generations.

Kgosiemang Solomo Itumeleng sings not just for Presley, but for all those who knew the power of Cobrizi’s voice — whether in the raw realism of his theatre performances, the sharp beauty of his poetry, or the brave stances he took in defending black narratives, culture, and dignity.

In a time when the world often rushes past pain, Kgosiemang stops us in our tracks. He does not let us mourn quietly. He makes us feel — fully and deeply. His harmonies rise like smoke from the burning fields of memory, taking us by the hand and walking us through the legacy of a man who shaped history in verses, chants, and stage presence.

Mourners, elders, youth, and fellow artists weep openly to the song — not just because of the loss, but because of the truth within the melody: that Cobrizi gave of himself until there was no more to give.

Kgosiemang Keapapetla’s voice trembles yet stays firm, like the voice of a shepherd mourning a lion. The acapella arrangement is stripped bare — no drums, no heavy instrumentation — just vocal reverence, reminding us of where we come from, and who we’ve lost.

As the last note fades, the silence it leaves behind is deafening. But within that silence is Presley Oageng Cobrizi Chweneyagae — still speaking, still walking, still singing through Kgosiemang’s tribute.

Matsheng Village will never forget. The nation will never forget.

He walked among us.
He taught us.
He bled his soul into our soil.
And now...

“Lefatshe le bone manontlho a gago.”

Rest, Cobrizi. Your echo lives in every heart torn by this song — and healed by it.

In honour of cultural warriors who tell and sing our stories, even in sorrow.catch on your local and provincial radio stations as he pays tribute...

KGANG YA BO RRE. AROUND THE FIRE ; BORRE LE A BIDIWA - A CALL TO REGLECT AS MEN.

Reflection: “A-Z Parable of Life Exercise”

During KGANG YA BO RRE – AROUND THE FIRE, Thapelo Professor Ngaka Molelotuka Mokhutshoane will lead a deeply engaging, soulful, and transformative session titled “A-Z Parable of Life Exercise.”

This unique presentation is an introspective journey where each participant reflects on their personal struggles, pains, failures, and emotional burdens—using the alphabet as a mirror into their past and present realities.

Each letter becomes a symbol—A for Anger, B for Betrayal, C for Confusion, and so on—allowing men to confront, name, and release the internal weight of their lived experiences. But this is not where the story ends.

From these negative words, the session transitions into a collective reimagining: a powerful moment where together, men construct positive life-affirming words, sentences, and meanings from the very alphabet that once spoke their pain.

This exercise is not just an activity—it’s a healing process, an emotional reckoning, and a reconstruction of identity and brotherhood. Men will emerge not as individuals defined by their hardships, but as “motho”—a working, rebuilding collective of purpose-driven men, connected by empathy, vulnerability, and shared humanity.

Through this interactive and cathartic process, life barriers are broken, inner walls collapse, healing begins, and a new alphabet of hope is written—together.

KGANG YA BORRE AROUND THE FIRE

Inspiring Conversations with Kagiso “Bra Quake” Monyadiwa, Thabo “Mawick” Jacobs, and Other Visionary Voices

“Borra le a bidiwa, pilediwa e a lwela…”

A call has been made. A fire has been lit. The time has come for the gathering of men — a sacred circle of reflection, inspiration, and generational restoration.

Under the soft flicker of the flames and the smell of burning wood, a profound silence falls — not from absence, but from reverence. This is not just a fire; this is a lešaka (sacred kraal), a space of knowledge transmission, identity recovery, and spirit revival.

Kgang Ya Borre Around the Fire is more than an event; it is a spiritual summoning of African manhood, wisdom, mentorship, and healing.

At the heart of this intimate and meaningful gathering are our special guest speakers: Kagiso “Bra Quake” Monyadiwa and Thabo “Mawick” Jacobs — men whose voices echo with lived experience, cultural rootedness, street-earned credibility, and profound wisdom.

Their presence alone stirs a necessary awakening in a generation hungry for guidance, authenticity, and connection.

WHY "KGANG YA BORRE"?

Kgang Ya Borre is a deliberate reconnection with the timeless tradition of African oral storytelling, wisdom-sharing, and masculine counsel — a tradition where elders, uncles, fathers, and leaders gathered young men around the fire.

Here, conversations were raw but necessary; stories were honest, painful, and powerful. Values were not taught through textbooks, but through moments — moments of reflection, caution, praise, laughter, and prayer.

In today’s fast-paced, hyper-digital world, many men are disconnected — from themselves, their purpose, their communities, and their culture.

Kgang Ya Borre seeks to re-establish that sacred space where borra (men) come not just to speak, but to listen. Not just to reminisce, but to rebuild. Not just to teach, but to transform.

SPECIAL GUESTS WHO EMBODY PURPOSE

Kagiso “Bra Quake” Monyadiwa – The Cultural Flamekeeper

Respected across the North West and beyond, Bra Quake is more than just a leader — he is a living archive of township resilience and cultural pride.

His ability to weave together the past and the present, the street and the sacred, makes him a powerful symbol of the modern African elder.

With a voice firm yet tender, Quake speaks of discipline, sacrifice, and black manhood in its fullest expression — spiritual, economic, emotional, and political.

Thabo “Mawick” Jacobs – The Street Philosopher

Mawick is what you get when wisdom meets rhythm. A poet of the people, a mind shaped by concrete jungles and ancestral guidance, he speaks with the raw fire of experience.

Mawick brings into Kgang Ya Borre the lens of the kasi, where being a man often means navigating pain in silence, showing strength in struggle, and protecting what’s yours. He advocates for emotional honesty, community building, and redefining masculinity on our own terms.

THE EXPERIENCE: WHAT HAPPENS AROUND THE FIRE

Kgang Ya Borre is not a conference. It’s not a workshop. It’s a sacred session.
Here’s what makes it unforgettable:

FIRE CIRCLE CEREMONY: Men of all ages gather around the fire, open their hearts, and share their journeys. It is symbolic — cleansing, ancestral, spiritual.

TRUTH MOMENTS: Real men, real stories. No filters. Discussions include:

Fatherhood and the father wound

Surviving mental health challenges

Money, manhood, and self-worth

Love, relationships, and emotional intelligence

Cultural legacy, identity, and African pride

THE DRUMS, THE SONGS, THE SILENCE: At times we speak. At times we drum. At times we sit in silence. All these forms are sacred communication with self and spirit.

YOUNG MEN’S VOICE ZONE: A platform for banamogolo (youth) to engage, ask, and even challenge the elders respectfully — because wisdom must be passed down and passed forward.

BORRA, LE A BIDIIWA — IT’S TIME

The call is not for perfect men. It’s for willing men. It’s for borra who are tired of pretending and hungry for purpose. It’s for uncles who carry untold stories and need a place to release. It’s for brothers who want to build, not break. It’s for fathers who wish to start again.

We believe that through Kgang Ya Borre, families will heal. Communities will reconnect. And most importantly, men will remember who they are.

WORDS FROM THE CIRCLE:

> “This is where I found my voice. Not to shout, but to lead.” — Participant, 2023
“Bra Quake helped me understand that being a man is not performance, it’s purpose.” — Young father
“I wept by the fire. I laughed by the fire. I healed by the fire.” — Elder

JOIN THE MOVEMENT

Kgang Ya Borre is not an event. It’s a calling. Whether you’re a grandfather, a young man, a mentor, or a mentee — your seat by the fire is waiting. Bring your story. Bring your silence. Bring your strength.

Because pilediwa e a lwela — manhood is worth fighting for.
