Hey kid, leave the shebeen, go solve x in a maths class
Madi abhors the intellectually lacking. That’s the reason she doesn’t watch Diski Divas, and why she rolled her eyes when she got an invite to a “Tholukuthi Hey” concert.
Madi was hoping they’d eventually reveal that the invite was all a joke. The knife was twisted further when it was revealed the concert was to be held at The Venue in Diepkloof Zone 6, Soweto. Yes, the dingy shebeen right next to the Bara Taxi Rank.
After gulping a Prozac, Madi dressed down, left her valuable possessions behind and made her way there.
Some overzealous high school kid who clearly found maths a futile exercise took to social media and started spewing some dumb jingle. Of course, Mzansi went crazy over it and Mike Tyson ... er ... DJ Euphonik promised to record the mess.
Fast forward a few weeks later and Madi was invited to see the pandemonium live.
The place was a mess. Every hood rat was there with a bottle of brown liquor in hand. Madi knew she wouldn’t stay long.
Pearl Thusi showed her face, looking like those kids eKasi sporting oversized rags for
Guy Fawkes. Madi loves it when celebs don’t make an effort, but girl, what on earth?
Lerato Kganyago’s outfit was a yawn fest, she looked like she was going to buy amaskopas.
The next mess Madi bumped into was Nomuzi Mabena. Girl, Madi loved the jacket. It looked like you whacked Santa Claus over the head and stole his outfit. Madi appreciates the effort. Euphonik was sporting a T-shirt three sizes too small. Euphonik, small things are not attractive. Maybe that’s why Bonang left.
The Tholukuthi Hey kid, whose name escapes Madi, eventually took to the stage. The crowd went wild, while Madi felt her IQ levels plummetting. That’s when she made her swift exit. Go solve for X and stop performing in shebeens, kid!
