“Limbo” centers on Omar, a promising young Syrian musician (Amir El-Masry) stuck on a remote, wind-whipped Scottish island awaiting the results of his asylum claim.

‘Ndinithanda nonke emakhaya (I love you all)’ is a term used by and associated with broadcast legend, Noxolo Grootboom. She graced our screens for decades and on Tuesday, 30 March 2021, after 37 years in the media industry, she read her final isiXhosa news bulletin for the SABC.
President Cyril Ramaphosa postponed his address to the nation to allow South Africans to watch Grootboom one last time. You know you are famous when the president postpones his address so you can do your thing.
In her interview with eNCA, uMamNoxolo gave her fans all the credit for her fame. Noxolo said she realised a long time ago that her fate did not lie in her employer’s hands, but rather her audience, and if they trusted and respected her, then she would have longevity.
