Through the grapevine

Some of the statements made, especially on social media, are either profound, silly or plain embarrassing… Some people deserve a high five for being humorous. How about a mini throwback?

Remember when:

• Crowning Miss Mpumalanga judge, Martin Mkhaliphi, was dissed for wearing shades in the evening by Tbo Touch? Sorry mfethu, we had to bring it up. It was funny and your reaction was priceless. Anyway, keep your shades game on. After all, you are the one and only BabesWamaShades wethu.

• One lady posed and smiled on the red carpet at the Sopa, but it turned out nobody was actually taking pictures of her. The less said the better!

• Tom Nkosi wrote that the Mpumalanga Provincial Legislature is finally free from Major One Capture. How random! Papa’s followers were touched but hey, who doesn’t know how sensitive they are.

• A certain female MEC pronounced the late Nana Coyote’s surname as Kiyote at Ray Phiri’s funeral. Did it maybe have to do with the killer heels she could not handle before the service was over?

• We can never get over Leonard Hlati giving a stern warning to “potential rapists”. Members of the SAPS are known for their common use of bombastic words and saying things out of context. The police always have some funny jargon in their press statements.

• Shade was thrown at those who cannot spell Computicket when it was suddenly written in bold. But Nozipho Zee was right, it is spelled: COMPUTICKET.

We could go on but we will let it go for now… By the way, we heard through the grapevine that there is a WhatsApp group consisting of certain males. Apparently the gossip there is scandalous, and what’s funny is that these people are all grown up with families. We say they should rather switch roles with their spouses since they find pleasure in meddling in people’s business.

Have a great weekend and remember this: You’re responsible for what you say, not for what the other person understands.

May the force be with you!
