BUSANI NGCAWENI: Music heals was Sibongile Khumalo’s credo
OPINION
I first met Sibongile Khumalo in my early 20s when I came to hustle in Johannesburg in May 2000. The big city was still bustling with culture at the time. The Johannesburg (now Mandela) Theatre, The Market Theatre in New Town, as well as the suburbs of Yeoville and Melville offered the best of what cultural life represented.
Of course, we lived a double life; jazz at the theatre with Khumalo et al on stage today, Oskido and Thebe on the decks in Midrand and Rosebank the next day.
The phenomenology of it all is that we kept same company as male friends/brothers but changed companions between the theatre and night clubs. Dress and drinks also changed per occasion.

The rising incidence of kidnapping has assumed a ubiquitous trend in Nigeria. Almost on daily basis, Nigerians are inundated with news of the abduction of unsuspecting persons, in different parts of the country.
From the North to the South and the East to the West, the story is the same! These unscrupulous elements spring out from nowhere, to abduct defenceless Nigerians, take them to their hideouts, from where they put calls across to victims’ relatives for payment of ransom.
