    Most Black South Africans are from hundreds of miles north, but they smelt the White Man money and free food

    ‘Officials and Experts, Doctors and Scientists’ can’t figure it out!!! CLUE—-They are paid NOT to figure it out, of course anyone who isn’t fluoridated and vexed to death knows exactly why.

    This must be history’s greatest mysteries ever…and we still have no clue as to what is causing these sudden deaths of perfectly healthy, athletic sports young men and women, Global warming, could it be part of the Bio-diversity loss,.. very strange indeed…

    I am saddened, traumatized and quite devastated to hear of Siphamandla Mtolo passing, in addition to being a superlative footballer he wrote a renowned anthology of the works of Chaucer and on short notice could take to the spinnet and dash off Bach’s Well Tempered Klavier Books 1 & 2 on a 180 year-old spinnet which he himself restored. Schubert himself would admire his singing Erlkönig, Die schöne Müllerin, Winterreise…you name it!

    Fellow team mates Kamohelo Mokotjo, Sifiso Hlanti, Thembinkosi (the Ballerina) Fanteni,Thabo Nthethe, Thuso Phala, Bongani (Kamikaze Bonsai) Zungu who were part of Mtolo’s choral ensemble will perform a requiem in his honor.
