Ntsiki
"Streetqueen" Mazwai brings all the legends to the Mama Said
Sessions!
The
Streetqueen is simultaneously proud and humbled to be dishing up a
Sunday-special-and-a-half in the form of larger than life monument Tata Donato
Francisco Mattera, aka Bra Don, on the last day of the Human Rights Month.
Yebo-yes, memory is the weapon
and Bra Don, icon, poet, political activist, author, journalist,
ex-gangster, motivational speaker, community builder, doctor in
literature, involved in 143 community organizations, and patron of some 50
trusts, is sharing his incomparable life experiences with us.
We will
go in conversation with yesterday through this warrior who uses the word as his
sword. Bra Don, a true and exceptional South African icon, will enlighten,
inspire and motivate the upcoming artistic generation with his signature
wit.
Mama
calls on all her sistas to come and celebrate this Mzansi Grootman with no
equal; bring the family, the neighbors, the Easter-bunny because this is a once
in a lifetime opportunity no doubt.
Another
ingredient of the Streetqueen’s special brew is the open mic session where all
can strut their stuff backed by the live house band while the DJ is on duty to
liven things up.
We are calling
for fresh, homegrown talent, musicians, poets, writers, visual artists, film
makers, dancers, actors, comedians and anyone who would like to be inspired on
a Sunday afternoon by what Mama Said to join us...
