The South African liberal media through their concentrated white monopoly ownership are running anti-EFF machinery, quoting Malema out of a context for the sake of their own agenda setting.

 
The call by the Economic Freedom Fighters that says all the public representatives should use public services (like sending their children to public schools, use public hospitals etc) is in the best interest of all South Africans especially the poor who, in most of the times, are provided with substandard quality services.

 
Just think of it, the ANC led government provides services to the masses and the same people don’t use those services, instead they opt for quality services provided by the private sector.

 
If our public representatives use the public services, this will definitely improve the quality of the services provided to the majority. But if not, how would they know, get a firsthand experience the hardships faced at our public schools and hospitals?

 
Julius Malema is right to say for now he’s not going to expose his child to mediocrity of the public schools. But here is a man who is willing to take his son to a public school on a condition that the ANC led government improves the quality learning at our public schools.

 
The pass rates and learning environment at our public schools are extremely appalling. Angie Motshekga and her department care less about our education to the extent that they don’t deliver textbooks in time at our schools.

 
This debate led by the EFF is unprecedented and could benefit us all. Instead of attacking them for their mutually benefiting suggestion, we should seek to support them.

 
Imagine if the call was made by pro-capitalist Democratic Alliance? It would have gained the media’s support from the word go. But of course the DA would never make such a call. The white minority they represent are rich and can clearly afford to take their children to private schools while poor black children continuing being the victims of poor public education. This will definitely preserve the status quo of white superiority and black inferiority.

The call by the Economic Freedom Fighters that says all the public representatives should use public services is in the best interest of all South Africans especially the poor

 

Sometimes it helps to think the matter from a black perspective. Let the ANC improve our public services and then Malema would take his son to a public school and lead by example. At least he’s prepared to.

Whoever came up with the concept “Rra Mozara and the bag are missing” in E ke ntolo vol 5 did not except Thembeni to publicly retaliate the way he has done.

Ka jeko ke lele sa ga Ragele

 
Thembeni Ramosethleng, one of the co-founders of Culture Spears and the master mind behind Rra Mozara comedy was left out in the sitcom in Chomie Yame DVD and the only explanation given to his fans was that his character, Rra Mozara, went missing in Gaborone as that was made to be part of the storyline.

Tshumu Tshumu tsoga, na re o robaletseng mo tseleng nna re batla go tshameka

 
Of course not everyone bought the lame excuse. His fans started enquiring about his whereabouts. But fortunately, now we all know that in fact Thembeni was not consulted about the “Rra Mozara goes missing” storyline or there was simply no consensus as to how the storyline in Thembeni’s absence ought to be executed.

 
Thembeni has come out with guns blazing, lashing out at his colleagues whilst assuring his fans that he’s still alive and putting their hearts at ease.

 
Thembeni says people are up at arms questioning his unceremonious absence and most importantly, question the missing part. This, according to him, is a clear indication that he is important to the group.

 
“La ntlwaela. Ke timetswa ke eng nna?” he issues a bold warning.

 
Rra Mozara goes further to question his colleagues, “nka timela bjang mo Gaborone. Gaborone o golela mo go nna, ga ke golele mo Gaborone; Gaborone ke ngwaneke.”

 
Towards the end of the song, Rra mozara assures his fans that he is still around and that everything will be fine. He pleads with his fans to nominate him to lead them in Parliament.

Hey, batho ba ya lela, go supa gore ke bohlokwa.

 
This song explains a weakening communication between Culture Spears principal members that led to the group’s deteriorating standard. To speculate would be to avoid the real issue that has become crystal clear, Thembeni says he has been left out and his fans are being fed propagandist statement and he’s clearly not pleased.

 
Thembeni still part of Culture Spears.

 
Although a word of mouth has it that Thembeni is still part of the award winning Culture Spears, he spends a considerable amount of time promoting his solo album, “Lepara la ga Koko” than performing with his home group.

Ke monate wa dikatara. Dikatara tsena dihlantsha bana le bagolo. Ga ba digopotse ga ba boele morago! Ba ya bina ba thinkgetse. SPLENDID THEMBENI. WELL DONE!!!

 
For now it is only good that Thembeni remains part of the group. He should not think of leaving the group as remaining part of C.S is pertinent for his blossoming career. Of course his CD sales would not surpass those of Culture Spears, at least in the near future but he’ll definitely make more money on his own.

 
Kulanche without Thembeni’s voice.

 
It is not a secret that Thembeni’s voice is dearly missed in Culture Spears vol 5- a mistake that I hope Culture Spears heavyweights won’t never commit again. The only powerful songs in the album are those led by Magdeline, with “Tshumu” and “Ragele” raising above all the other songs.

 
Deceit, lie, betrayal and backstabbing

 
What is happening now at Culture Spears leaves a gap for one to reflect back on March 2010 when talented Jelinah packed her bags and took with her the shares, leaving no mark of herself except for her face on the CD sleeves and a reflection of herself on the DVDs.
Advise to Culture Spears.

 
Kulanche attracts more negative publicity which is not healthy for the group. There are many different factors that play out here. The album is not a hit as compared to its predecessors, some say Kabelo should quit singing (a call that I don’t like to entertain), Thembeni’s absence among others.

 
All these talking can only be put to rest if a DVD is released that shows a united Culture Spears from Lydia to Thembeni being present. Plus, Culture Spears DVDs are always eye deserving and the choreography and directing are always out of this world. But people’s faces should not be used as ploy to deceive fans. Perhaps my “Thembeni-lydia” suggestion is all wrong.
