** FWO SLASH GOT DUMPED FOR A YELLOW BONE **

Tel: 015 962 1008

Is this the African Dream? Our Boy Mizophyll recently got himself a makeover

from cutting them dreads, losing the Turban and then Dresses to Uniswa

Swagg. From Rastafarian to my Nigga, everything is NEW. It seems Ladies love the new Phyll, including me. Is he still a

pastor because according to his Religion a couple of things are forbidden e.g.

Meat, as you can see on the after picture he seemed to be enjoying his Cocktail

J&A mix. Our Freestyle star is planning on releasing this year. Now I wonder if he is going to change his sound

too. I wonder if he still knows where his Turbans are at,

I want to try my luck and go down Luvuvhu River, I might find them.

Mizo, you owe us big time!

** 2012 EXTREME MAKEOVER, IS IT UNISWA? **

Frame Work Officials - Floyd and Lead Lady Slash recently broke up and the best part

is he left her for a “yellow bone” FWO came back with a killer mix tape selling like hotcakes in Pretoria. Mac-Fam and this crew have a unity, when it comes to making music; they share studios and

“other stuff”... Mac J, be careful Floyd is the new guy in town. An insider told us

that Slash and Floyd are always arguing, which is affecting the crew performances.

It seems feelings are still running high between them? So guys grow up or

make up, because everyone can see you’re still into each other.

The “SURPRISE!!” browWith this look, you, my dear, are drawing your brows a bit high and small and too thin.

The “Winging it” browWith this one, it seems that, my dear, you’re not sure where the line of your brow should end, so you’re creating some “wings” for your face. It’s a little bit strange, you just need some feathers and “voila!” You can compete with Lady Gaga.

The “Angry” brow (grrrrr)You, my dear, are going to extremes with the darkness, thickness, and square/sharpness of the “supposed” drawing of your brow.

Normal browA normal brow is in balance with your face structure. Not to far apart, not to long/stretched, high enough above the eye and just thick enough. Please Iet the professionals help you out. That’s why they are there.

If you are in Limpopo, and even beyond, and do not know the name Mbungu, you won’t be forgiven for such ignorance. The birth of the Tshovhilingana comedy movie in 2005 heralded Thembuluwo Mamphodo as the new acting talent that would stand the test of time.

Xitsonga traditional music continues to gain strength and popularity as people like Benny Mayengani release more studio-recorded albums. Today, Benny’s name is said in the same breath as names like Joe Shirimani and other noted ones in the contemporary Xitsonga rhythms. His previous album, Tiba Ben, earned him Best Male award during the annual Munghana Lonene Xitsonga Music Awards late last year.* If we may ask, who is Benny Mayengani?

Our Famous Ntsiki Mazwai was at our playground last Year with Dj Nipro doing Limpopo House

Tours. Nipro said they were dating and they were all cozy. I asked Ntsiki

how their relationship was going and she seemed shocked. Ntsiki said; “ I have been

single for two years now and I am not dating. Nipro is just a close friend because we are in the same industry, I went to Venda to explore and he came up with the offer to perform to my Limpopo fans”. So my question

is “was it a publicity Stunt so we could attend those shows? This means no wedding bells for Ntsiki and Nipro
