You voted for your gay friend because you are all Satanists _ Shame on you , you are an embarrassment in the eyes of God, Jesus did not die for you kind , sis" man" said the Soweto mom to Black rose who further explains his ordeal which transpired on the 23RD of February on the Mr. and Miss. Money Moves Pageant which was hosted by the born frees entertainment at De bliss corner in Braamfontein ,Jhb Cbd .

Black rose _ "Never before have I ever felt so destroyed and powerless , couldn't understand how a woman who looks my mother’s age could utter such words , She went on to say to me that had it been her neighborhood in Soweto ,our kind would be burnt alive in the streets ".

Black Rose is a fashion Designer, singer, model. He says-he is 100% Gay and being gay is not a choice, it is something you are born with. 2019 is amazing for him as a gay guy Because he is no longer in closet anymore, everyone now know about him and it makes him feel happy of who he is.

DANNY

My friend by the name Susan told me about the Mr. and miss money moves pageant then I decided to enter as a participant . On the day of the pageant I sensed a bit of hostility from some of the other participants and audiences right from the start but I just told myself that maybe it's just my paranoia so I shouldn't allow it to take my focus away. As soon as I walked on the runway it became clear to me that people in the audience had reservations about me being one of the participants as I could hear discriminative Comments such as " Asifuni zitabane lapha "(We don't want gays here ) . Being a proud gay I am well aware that it won't be the last time I am going to face such but it is my firm belief that whatever God made is not a mistake and I will never apologize for being what God created me to be like . As the results were being announced I could hear a woman In the audience passing negative remarks about the lgbt community of which I decided not to get involved because I was with my friend Susan and didn't know where it would lead to . When I was told that the judges made a unanimous decision that I was to be crowned as the winner of Mr. money moves I decided not to take the crown because of all the shenanigans that I was exposed to during the duration of the whole pageant . Honestly I felt like me receiving the crown was more like endorsing the fact that people like me in the lgbt community can be treated in such a humiliating way and the whole world can just turn a blind eye as if it's a horrible crime to be gay . On my way out of the venue me and Susan received a death threat from one of the people who were in the audiences but we just decided to make our way out as I just wanted to quickly get out of the venue and go home .

Honestly at first ,I couldn't imagine myself going through all of that again but after a long conversation with myself I concluded that if I don't stand up for others who have and have faced the same situation as mine then that will be a betrayal to them .

Don’t forget to share with all your whatsapp contacts Page 12

May 1, 2019 [UPCOMING MAG MAY ISSUE , first started as a poet before venturing into music, it was his love and passion for performing and changing people’s lives that led him into the arts of performing. He started making music in 2008, in his hometown Katlehong, the East of Johannesburg. To him doing music is not only about the fame and fortune that it brings, but it is about sending an important message to young people which in turn can change their lives and their way of thinking. He grew up in a township were young people face many hardships such as unemployment, lack of support for those interested in arts and drug abuse to name a few, with his music he hopes to empower the youth to stand up and take charge of their lives, to rise against all odds and become victorious in their dreams. In 2005 he joined a church choir and that’s when he realised his love for music and started learning more about it. Joining the choir helped him nurture and foster his talent into what it is today. It was during this period that he started taking music seriously, thereby giving himself the name Man T De Conscious Rapper, the “T” stands for his name and the “Conscious rapper” means that he wants to make people aware and more cognizant about the issues that really matter. His music is combined Rap, Rhythm and poetry with a touch of Jazz Soul and Gospel music, which poses as no difficulty for people to connect and listen to his sound, thereby allowing him flexibility to perform anywhere and for everyone. He released his first singe called “DUMELANG” in 2017, which was greatly received by his followers and soon became an anthem on everyone’s lips. Man T De Conscious Rapper, recently formed a hip hop movement called Batho Pele, which aims to instigate and encourage people to follow their dreams and never settle for anything other than their dream. He is a role model to many as many truly aspire to be like him, brave and driven to make a difference. He has performed in various places nationally and the crowds still cannot close their mouths about his performances, whoever this young man also shared the stage with the well-known performing artists (SJAVA;ISRAEL;BUCIEetc) at an event which was held at Katlehong Art Centre named MAZIBUYE HERITAGE EXPO 201 Jey Degrey Kamogelo Justice Baloyi (born October 16, 1997), known professionally as Jey Degrey, is a South African singer, songwriter, rapper, record producer, model and entrepreneur.

First of the 6 children his parents have, Jey grew up, in Ramaphosa village, being known as the responsible, bright and creative child by his family and people around him. From an early age, Jey would sketch clothes and try to make his own clothes, listen and connect to music that people around him believed was not the type of music a kid, then, should be listening to and relating to. Hence, he has been labeled as an old soul.

Jey fell in love with music, and knew he wanted to make music at the early age of 12 from watching the very popular musical High School Musical, listening to music that was being made in the 2000s, R&B mostly, and watching music shows. At the same age, Jey began to write his own songs.

In his teens, Jey went to record 3 of his original songs to use as demos, but due to feeling like he was not ready, then, he decided that the songs be scrapped and went on to practice more so that he can become a better vocalist and songwriter.

To date, Jey has written over 25 whole songs, recorded, in his phone, 50+ hooks/choruses (all new), and has written 40+ 16 bar verses (rap) all having global appeal. Stylistically, his primary focus is on R&B, Hip Hop, Pop, Indie, House and Rock music.

The Masterminder My name is Sandile Zwane, my stage name is "The Masterminder". I am from Gauteng "Soweto", I am 17 years old . I'm an upcoming rapper that is known for motivational and technical rapping. The first time i really got interested in rap was when I heard the song "mockingbird by Eminem" , I was 13 years old at the time. I actually started rapping when I was 14 years old , the ability to bend words and construct rhythmic sentences while telling a story really inspired me. Growing up i have always been adventurous and always had a competitive mindset , I wanted to be the best in every activity i took part in , if not the best than at least be good at it. That's how the name "The Masterminder " came to be. Eminem is the artist that inspired me to start rapping but what really pushed me to be a rapper is seeing how rap was changing throughout the years. So far i have about 10 tracks (more or less), a few music videos and I regularly do freestyle videos. I have performed at a local car wash(open mic) and I also performed at Sunninghill prison for an (HIV /AIDS) event that took place last year. I have never been to a recording studio, I use my smart phone for recording, capturing and editing my

I'm a hip hop artist from cape town. People that know me will recognize my hardcore nature on any song I do. I chose to do music because its the only thing I could turn to when things didn't go so well. It is very tough to survive where I come from but I believe all those experiences made me stronger than the norm. I'm an introvert up until a mic is in front of me. I love rapping Music coming soon:

May 1, 2019 [UPCOMING MAG MAY ISSUE , *Human Rights* by Poet ,Arts Activist & Heritage Activist Lek gutsa Mbele

My R

In a Civilised Land That accepts duty to all Citizens Have Rights Some great ,Some Small

This is how things should be To those who have value Truth and Fairness And justice and decency

But those who treasure money And power of wealth Seek to remove such rights Through deceit and stealth

They claim that duty Comes before such rights But they accepts no obligations For causing another's plight

Obligation before rights Is their loud refrain But fulfilling their own duties Is something they distain

For Rights are for the powerful Whilst duty is for the poor And decency and justice The country provides no more

Human Rights matter To ensure justice for all For saints and for Sinners For all people great and small

The alternative is ugly With justice a forgotten myth With Power replacing fairness And a society that is Sick.
