This expression, pays ode to my sister who was chosen by my ancestors to be a vessel for our family’s life experience. It discusses how her body goes through this rich, complex process of performing between the spiritual realm and our physical space. It’s the constant struggle between balancing the flow of existence for herself and the identity of our family name

Midrand

Sometimes, you need to get out of the nest and get some perspective, for these few days it meant. HELLO Joburg🌇, well Midrand/waterfall city at least. You can't be in water and not visit the Mall of Africa. The architecture and special design were quite different from what you would regularly find in Durban or Cape Town. The vibe of Midrand (Joburg) and Gauteng, in extent, is of a city that is hustling and bustling alive and makes you feel at place unlike the streets of Durban where everything feels like it's decaying with pieces and bits of hope🕯🌤 here and there.

These are some of the shots 📸 I got, at the mall and in the surrounding area, my phone died along the way so I couldn't get other shots.

The energy in Joburg reminded me of what Durban could be if it gets its head out of politics into creating a business and tourism centre much bigger and welcoming than the Cape as it already is.

Energy is rejuvenated to do more now.

The Dance of the Whistles

Skye Wanda's latest single, "Feela," featuring the talents of Sir LSG and Buddynice, is a remarkable blend of powerful delivery and nuanced emotion. "Feela" makes you feel maan!

It stands as both a celebration of individuality and a compelling call to embrace one’s true self. This duality resonates powerfully in today's fast-paced world where self-acceptance can often feel daunting.

From the very first note, Wanda captivates listeners with her ability to convey a range of feelings that resonate deeply. The lyrics are relatable and heartfelt, exploring essential themes of love, empowerment, and self-discovery.

The song is exceptionally well-balanced, thank you Sir LSG and Buddynice for your consistency. It truly allows Skye Wanda’s stunning vocals to shine without overshadowing the driving energy of the instrumental.
