report

Have we become a
Westernised nation?

No identity without
culture

as the country celebrates heritage month, it is time to reect on whether

weve lost our cultural values. Siyabonga Kamnqa explores

Forgotten languages

Its often said that, without culture,

one lacks identity, but it seems
these days, people no longer
care about who they are and what
they represent.
And, as we celebrate Heritage
Day this month, Move! takes a look
at whether African people have
become Westernised
Back in the old days, people took
pride in wearing their traditional
attire with humility. They burnt
impepho and slaughtered sheep,
goats and cattle.
But judging from the events that
have dominated the
nation over the past
few years, it would
seem that people have
turned their backs on
their traditions and
cultural practices.
In an incident that
sent shockwaves
through the country
recently, two KwaZuluNatal gogos were raped
by teenagers who
were young enough to be their
grandchildren.
And, stories of children as young
as nine months being raped make
newspaper headlines on an almost
daily basis.
What does this say about us as
black people, and did these things
happen in days gone by?
National Heritage Council
(NHC) CEO, Advocate Sonwabile
Mancotywa believes that African
people have indeed turned their
backs on their traditions and that it
is coming back to haunt them.
Mancotywa says elderly people
used to be respected, and it was
uncommon to see incidents of the
elderly being raped by youngsters.
He says disrespecting the elderly
brings bad luck to the nation.
We grew up being told that beka
uyihlo nonyoko ukuze imihla yakho
yande (respect your parents so that
your days on earth can be longer).
But it seems those words are no
longer heeded by todays youth.

Nowadays it has become common

for kids to speak English, even at home.
Mancotywa says parents are to blame
for this and he calls on the ban of the
use of English language for a certain
period when the kids are at home.
It is important for them to know
other languages, but their mother
tongue needs to take priority, he says.

Sacrice: a part of African

culture

There has been an outcry over the

years from animal rights groups
about the issue of slaughter in African
cultures. When former ANC chief whip
Tony Yengeni appeared in newspaper
photographs slaughtering a cow for a traditional
ceremony at his home,
there was a strong response
from organisations such as
the SPCA. But Mancotywa
says there is nothing wrong
with slaughter, and it is a
practice that will never go
away. Africans name their
livestock. Herders mourn
when a cow is killed to accompany a dead person,
he says, adding that black people see
nothing wrong when people of other
races go fishing.

Disrespecting the elderly

brings bad luck
to the nation

inger Suthukazi Arosi once

penned a song titled Ingane
kamalume ithi ayikwazi ukukhuluma ikhuluma isilungu kuphela.
The song continues: Ngathi ngiyabulisa ngithi sawubona yathi what are you
talking about?
In essence, the song is about how a
young Zulu child is unable to speak
his mother tongue, and is able to
communicate only by means of the
English language.
The song is a true reflection of what
is happening in society nowadays as
African people abandon their culture
for that of the West.

Leaving behind lobola

Traditionally, lobola was paid in cattle,

a valued commodity in many African
cultures, but today many modern
couples pay in cash. Lobola is intended to bring together two families,
fostering mutual respect and indicates that the groom is financially
capable of supporting his wife.
But some families become too
greedy and demand huge amounts
of cash for their daughter. As a
result, lobola has often come under
fire from critics who say it is now
all about making money. Whereas
negotiations used to take up to two
days, they now take far longer.

Circumcision on the slide

Once a noble and respected custom,

circumcision has lost its traditional
value recently. Reports of initiates
dying at the hands of unscrupulous
individuals who pose as iingcbis, but
are only after cash, have been well
documented in the media.
As a result of the alarming deaths
of initiates, many youngsters opt to
undergo the procedure in hospital,
but they are often isolated by the
community and are not regarded as
real men.
In the Eastern Cape, Nkosi Ngangomhlaba Matanzima, who is the
chairperson of House of Traditional
Leaders (HTL), attributes the many
deaths of initiates to inexperienced
iingcibis and parents who dont take
responsibility for their children while
they are at the mountain.
In most cases, parents leave the
responsibility of looking after the initiates solely to amakhankatha (traditional
nurses). But sometimes, these nurses
get drunk and abandon the initiates,
says Nkosi Ngangomhlaba.

MORE ABOUT
HERITAGE DAY
Heritage Day is celebrated on 24

very December, I take my kids home for the

holidays. The main reason is that we live in
an urban area where we are surrounded by
high walls and fences. You cant just go to your
neighbours house unannounced. Thats if youre
lucky enough to know them.
If you open your cupboard and realise that you
dont have salt, you are too embarrassed to go to
your next-door neighbour to ask for some.
The funny thing is that, in days gone by,
neighbours were like family members. On a Saturday
afternoon, neighbours would cook umfino or morogo
and share with others. When I was growing up in the
Eastern Cape, my grandmother would invite passing
strangers to come into our house and have a cup
of tea. It was about hospitality and about cultural
values such as Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu.
There was no way that you would ride in a bus
or take a train and remain seated while an elderly
person had to stand. Moreover, a young child would
never call an old person by her first name.
If you were found to have done something wrong,
an older person would discipline you, whether she
was related to you or not. Then you would go home
crying to report to your uncle or grandmother, and
once they heard what you had done, they would
unleash more discipline upon you. My grandmother
used to say: Ubethwe kancinci mandikuphinde.
It pains me when I read about young men raping

when they are at home they speak to me in our
mother tongue. Every year, I take them to the
Eastern Cape and show them rural huts and life
in the townships, so that they are familiar with our
background and can spend time with their grannies.
Of course, its important to understand that we live
in a global world, and platforms such as Facebook,
Twitter and the Internet are making things easier
for us. Theyve brought a lot of changes. But its
important to know who you are so that you arent
easily swayed by other cultural influences.
September is Heritage Month, and we tend to be
reminded about Africa and who we are as Africans.
But this should be done every day. Let it not be a hit

Till next time!

When the going gets tough

Our parents are everything to us when were young. They provide for us and
protect us. They are our teachers before we start school and go on to be our
lifelong mentors. Our parents are always there for us when the chips are
down. Our friends also go the extra mile when things are not going right for
us. But these people cannot always be at our side. Theyre like the morning
mist that disappears when the sun rises. They have their own lives. Ultimately,
when nobody is there for you in tough times, you need to learn to rely on
yourself. You must learn to conquer challenges by yourself.

godfrey maLibe, acornhoek

Editors reply

Very true, Godfrey. Despite our support systems, we cant expect them to always be
there. There will be times when we have to work things out by ourselves.

Life is what you make it

The power to succeed or fail is yours

alone. You alone have the responsibility to shape your life. No one can deny
your greatness once you know and
understand this. You must make things
happen; dont wait for the world to
come to you. Theres no one to stop
you but yourself. No one can cheat you
out of ultimate success but you. Stand
up for what you believe in!

goitsemang ramesega, Johannesburg

Editors reply

Its easy to blame other people for our mistakes and failures, but as you say, the power
to shape our lives is in our hands alone.

Dont be a victim
at play

Ruled
by love

the ve siblings are

a close-knit bunch
and gathered to
celebrate the birthday
of their brother,
Quinton Masina (aka the
Naked DJ)

Growing up in Daveyton, the Naked

DJ real name Quinton Masina says
they didnt live in luxury, but they had
lots of love. I have never felt neglected, even though Im the middle child.
I still feel love when I speak to my parents or any of my siblings. Were always
driven by love and I hope we can pass
that on to our children.

Every day is a celebration of

life for the Masina siblings.
Tsholofelo SegageModise chats to them

Any day were together is

worth celebrating

We plan everything, Ntando explains, but its not as if we are always

wearing matching clothes. We do this
at interviews for branding purposes.
And everyone interprets the colour or
theme in their own way.

hen Move! heard that the

Naked DJ was celebrating
his birthday recently, we
jumped at the chance to host a lunch
for him and his four siblings.
The Metro FM DJ and producer
was celebrating his 32nd year, and
who better to celebrate with than his
brothers and sisters? Very few people
know that two of his siblings are also
famous celebrities. The Naked DJ is
big brother to the YFM twins, Hlelo

and Ntando (27). He is also little

brother to Ramesh (34) and Fortune
(36), who are big guns in the television
and music industries.

All in one colour

The first thing you notice about the

five siblings as they arrive at the Fire &
Ice Hotel in upmarket Melrose Arch
is that they are all wearing black. Its
understandable for the girls, but for all
of them to be matching?

pICTURES: pIETER dU ToIT

Close siblings

Once they are all seated, drinks in

hand and waiting for their food, the
conversation gets underway. Its plain
to see how comfortable with each
other these five are.
Were all so close, Hlelo says. Obviously, Im closer to my sister because
weve been together every day of our
lives. But my brothers are also close.
They live about a block away from
each other and help each other with
carpooling and stuff like that.
The birthday boy, who is sitting at
the head of the table, agrees.
Our parents have always shown us
love, and so weve always shown each
other love. And the older I get, the
more I realise that love is the most
important thing.

When the Masina siblings get together,

its always a big celebration. Im not
big on birthdays but Im big on family,
the Naked DJ explains. Any time they
are together is special. Weve all moved
out of home and live separately, so
any excuse to see each other is good
enough. Any day we can get together is
a celebration and if theres a birthday,
its a plus. Thats how we all feel.
The family is big the brothers have
seven children between them so
celebrating birthdays is the norm for
the Masinas. Theres so many of us,
we have at least one birthday every
month, so we dont need an occasion
to celebrate, says Hlelo. The Naked
DJ agrees, saying: The only difference
on a birthday is that theres cake.
The Masina parents dont take birthdays for granted, even though they
are a big family. The Naked DJs most
memorable birthday was his tenth.
My grandparents from my moms
side lived in Middelburg and didnt
visit us in Daveyton a lot. But on that

birthday, they were

there, he recalls.
He loved his
grandpas yellow
Toyota Hilux bakkie.
That day I sat on the back
of the bakkie with my siblings and we
went to buy a cake at Spar. I will never
forget the excitement of that trip, and
of turning double digits, he laughs.

Fame and sibling rivalry

Being siblings and famous celebrity

DJs on rival radio stations doesnt
sound easy, but for the Naked DJ and
the twins, its a piece of cake. The only
one who sometimes has issues is their
mother, who is their biggest fan.
Theres never rivalry, the Naked
DJ says. He recalls when they found
themselves on air at the same time.

Our parents have always

shown us love and so
weve always shown each
other love

14 Move! | 29 august 2012

In December last year, I had to fill in

for a colleague on air on a Saturday.
It was at the same time as my sisters
show. That was the first time all three
of us were on air at the same time and
we just had fun with it.
We were dissing each other on Twitter. Our sort of rivalry is constructive
and fun, he adds.
Ntando agrees. We dont have a
rivalry as such; we play around with it
and ask our fans who they will listen
to. We support each other, but it does
confuse my mom because she wants to
listen to all of us, Ntando says.
Shes our biggest fan, so shell have
two radios on in the house at the same
time, Hlelo laughs.

Mutual support

It may be fun teasing each other, but

the Naked DJ maintains hes the best.
I always come out on top because
I have 6.5 million listeners. Theyre
just seeking attention with their
800 000, if it is even that many, he
says. Oh please, Ntando retorts.
But as with everything in this family,
these siblings support each other even
if they are supposed to be rivals.
If one of us does something, we
make sure were the first to tweet
about it. We support each other like
that, Hlelo adds.

These are great words of wisdom, Kholofelo.

Thank you for sharing them.

I am writing to all those who have been

abused to choose to be victors and not
victims. Stop blaming yourself. Free
yourself! The poison of unquenched
anger doesnt infect the perpetrator,
it only destroys the victim. Never give
your abuser the credit of ruining your
life. Reject being a slave of the past.

Boardroom divas
Tsholofelo Segage-Modise takes a look into
the lives of the three most popular soapie queens

iva is the Italian word

for goddess. In recent
years, the term came to
be used to describe a talented opera
singer, or a singer who had achieved
phenomenal success. But with the
advent of slang, the word diva has
been adopted into everyday language
to mean someone who has a bad
reputation for being demanding
and difficult.
But, Move! says, divas are not only
rude women with bad attitudes.
Divas are also women who have
achieved phenomenal success and
have earned the right to make demands and be difficult because they
know what they want.
Muvhangos Thandaza Mokoena,
Generations Mawande Memela and
Scandal!s Morongwe Molefe are just
such women. These ladies have earned
success in the soapie boardrooms and
have lives that many envy. Lets take
a look at why we love to watch, and
sometimes hate, these boardroom
divas in our favourite soapies.

Muvhango

THANDAzA MokoENA,
PLAyED By SINDI DLATHU
(38)

Ever since Thandaza was introduced

to Muvhango fans over 10 years ago,
they have loved her. She came onto our
screens as a pretty young girl who had
stolen the heart of Edward Mukwevho
(at the time played by Glen Lewis). She
was a quiet and well-mannered young
lady who didnt take any nonsense from
anyone least of all street-smart Doobsie
(played by the late Lindiwe Chibi), who
was hell-bent on stealing her man. But
Edward finally made it clear who his
heart was with when he married Thandaza and had a son with her.
Since then, viewers have watched
Thandaza grow into a loving mother
and formidable businesswoman.

Thandaza is the perfect example of a

mother hen. She does everything in
her power to protect and care for her
family. Thandaza is also a very traditional, respectable woman who takes
her role as wife, mother, daughter and
umakoti very seriously.

Rocky LovE LIfE

Unfortunately, her love life has never

been great. Viewers have seen Thandaza go through more than her share
of ups and downs over the years. The
men she falls in love with never seem
to stay, and there is always another
woman involved. For many years it
was Doobsie, and then Meme (Tsholo
Monedi) came along and threatened
her relationships with Ndalamo (Mutodi Neshehe), and Pheko (Rapulana
Seiphemo), and again, evil Meme tried
to interfere with Thandazas relationship with current hubby Ranthumeng
(Themba Nofemele).
Yes, Thandaza has been with many
men in her life, but she has managed
to remain respectable. Her fans love
that she has remained true to herself
even when she has faced so many trials.
And of course she is the role model
of every ambitious girl. Who wouldnt
want to be one of the most powerful
businesswomen in town? And who
wouldnt want Thandazas seriously
classy, expensive wardrobe? Even when
Thandaza is chilling at home, she still
looks her best.

The only thing we wish the writers at
Muvhango would do, now that shes
back together with her soulmate Ranthu, is give the poor woman her job
back as Mukwevho Millings CEO, and
let her have a normal, drama-free life
for a change. But knowing how crazy
Muvhango is, that is not about to happen. Something major is about to go
down in the Mokoena home in the
next few weeks, so watch this space.

Scandal!

Morongwe Molefe,
played by nthati
Moshesh (42)

Morongwe Molefe came into town,

with twins Kgomotso and Thabang
Phiri, as a serious businesswoman who
had been widowed. She was a strictbut-fun mother at home, but someone
different at the office. Mo, as her colleagues know her, is not one to mess
with. She is an ex-NIA agent who has
the capacity and skill to destroy anyone
who is a problem for her. The other
thing about Mo is that she has a closet
full of secrets and you never know what
else she is hiding.
First, she told people that she was
a widow, but when her husband Alex

Real-life facts
about Nthati
She has a son, Sabelo.
She lived in LA, United
States, for six months.
She loves travelling.
She is actually a princess.
Shes won an international award for her acting.

10 Move! | 12 september 2012

Phiri (Shona Ferguson) is released

early from prison, everyone realises
she lied. Later, we find out that Mo is
part of the reason her husband, also
an ex-NIA agent, went to jail in the
first place.
When her sister Mmadika
(Masechaba Moshoeshoe) comes
onto the scene, it comes to light that
Dika was abused by their father as
a child and Mo lied, saying that she
was the one who had been abused, in
order to protect her sister.
The sisters are close but this doesnt
last for too long. When Mos son
Thabang is kidnapped and later dies
at the hands of Alexs former inmate,
Mos world comes crashing down.
She hatches a plan to get rid of Alex
and sends him back to jail by lying
and pretending that he assaulted
her. But she also loses her daughter
Kgomotso in the process. Kgomotso
goes to live with her Aunt Dika, who
eventually wins a nasty custody battle
for the girl.

so Many secrets

Mo is a tricky character. Viewers find

themselves feeling sorry for her
because she is going through so much
in her life. And losing her son seems
to have really turned everything
upside down. But at the same time,
we dont really like her because she
has so many secrets and clearly has a
threshold that no one wants to cross.
On the work front, Mo is always in
boardroom battles with the other NZH
shareholders, especially dodgy Daniel
Nyathi (Sello Maake ka Ncube). They
are always trying to outdo each other.
And, in their latest battle, Daniel has
