I have nothing to my title but my craving to be imperishable. It was stumbled upon the day I bought my first packet surgical masks ever because the corona virus had just landed in South Africa. After convincing my first-year housemate to buy one of the masks from me for twice the price, we later found ourselves on the tire post swings of the nearby vacant park and a random conversation about death sparked by a simple question  "would you rather go down in history books for something terrible or be forgotten completely after you die?” led us to discover our unheeded desire to be immortal.

I started this blog because I want a platform where I can express myself as a young South African by sharing some aspects of my life, as well as opinions and knowledge on topics I am passionate about. Sharing my knowledge and life encounter through the way I put words together with you is my way achieving indefinite continuation of my existence.

Venting about my adoration for The muffinz

      Amazon,2020 Ever Since I heard The muffinz singing Umsebenzi we ndoda from my Grandmother’s silver CRT Sony television set one Saturday afternoon, on SABC 3 at that time I was around 12 years old, I didn’t know much about good music, but, what I knew was my ears were certainly sold. The muffinz is a 5-piece male band that was birthed at the University of Johannesburg. They bring a variety of elements to the group comparable to bringing different ingredients to make  muffins, which explains their band name. They make groovy yet soulful music. What I admire about this group is that they don’t fit into one specific genre, their sound has a jazzy, afro soul to it with sprinkles of reggae. They shift effortlessly between these sounds. They are in my opinion the best band to ever come out of South Africa (as the generation Z would put it 'Period!') As I matured over the years, my appetite for good soulful music had overwhelmingly increased, as well as my understanding.
