“When I heard that Carla wanted me to join the Rise of The Matriarch, I was shocked and ecstatic. A little panicked because I hadn’t flown out of South Africa. Luckily I was arranged to go be on a flight with Joan. I call her “Mama Joan”. She befriended me from then onwards and my […]
Celokuhle “Smax” Biyela
“Oh Africa you beauty”. Zimbabwe is probably the last place I would have thought of visiting.
