Angel Ndlela

“Word on the street is that I am young, single and I stand on business. Come for me and I will read you like a thesis.”

“A masterpiece takes time. I am evolving with every chapter because why settle for a blank canvas?”

Kwanele Kubheka

“Marriage, motherhood and mileage: I am the ultimate frequent flyer.”

Lo Sithole 

“The Lord is my shepherd and my family is my rock. I may be lowkey but my bite is worse than my bark.”
