Penning a better
HELLO
my stunning Style lovers. Another week, another day to indulge on another exciting edition of Style and let me tell you that we have exciting features for you even today. The past weekend was crazy if I may say, but in the best way possible because it was busy for us on the Entertainment Desk. Blaq Diamond was in the kingdom, Nadia Nakai, DJ Tira, Thinah Zungu and the list goes on. My take home from the past weekend and the previous ones, is that Eswatini is slowly becoming a central hub for events and big names in the SA music scene is warming up to the place. May is Asthma Awareness Month, which is a time to educate friends, family and patients about asthma and promote awareness about how this serious, sometimes life-threatening, chronic respiratory disease can be controlled. I will also include an article in this edition of Style so you educate yourself about it. This week our leading lady and person of interest is Zandie Thwala, an author who has recently published a book. There is so much power in writing, authors choose the version that better serves us, the one we prefer to live. Then, while they write it, we relieve it: Like we need it to be. A writer is whoever they choose to be. They feed the emotions they’re starving. While writing, they live on the fringe of reality; we hide from it. Style is still on the streets knocking on doors and raiding your favourite personalities closets and this week we are raiding Lindelwa Mabuza’s closet who was part of Miss Eswtini 2022, top 10 finalists. Page four has an interesting feature on a striving woman in sport, chess to be precise. It does not stop there, we have more features for you like the Book review brought to you by Mlondzi Nkambule and there are very interesting books to look-out for. Nurse weKhantri is on fire with dishing out the newest and best news on the streets right now and this week he has added a little something from the Met Gala red carpet.
