Mhani Flo in Soweto birth day gumba Benson Ntlemo Music enthusiasts around Mofolo will received a music treat to remember when well-known musician Mhani Flo, also known as Xibombi celebrates her birth day on October 30. The event to be held at 456 South Indaba Street in Mofolo, Soweto has the following theme: yellow, read and pink. “It is a birth day organised by many of her children, comprising mostly her fans and her supporters who fellowship with her in church. We decided to organize the event to celebrate her birth day and so far we have received an overwhelming reception from many people who would like to attend,” said Rikhotso. He said the event will be characterized by musical performances by fellow artists who will want to support one of their own. Mhani Flo is one of the most popular artist in her genre of music, that is Xitsonga traditional music, and she has five albums to her name. Her latest CD, Xibombi Number 5, is presently riding the crest of the musical wave. “She will grace the occasion by performing at the important date in her life,” said Rikhotso. There is no doubt that people are braced for a treat to remember and The Village Voice wishes her the best on her birth day.

We want to celebrate with our mother, says fan Nicholas Rikhotso

Raphy Maluleke For the second time this year Greater Giyani Local Municipality offices in Mopani, Limpopo Province have been closed due to the cases involving two employees who tested positive to Covid -19 virus. The offices are due to close today and will be opened again next Monday (September 7). Spokesperson for the municipality Steven Mavunda confirmed the closure and the two cases. “It is true; we have closed the main offices of the Greater Giyani Municipality following the two positive Convid -19 cases involving employees. We have closed the offices to allow time for decontamination, “said Mabunda. Mabunda said that in the meantime all necessary precaution measures set by the department of health will be followed before the office open for public services again. It is not the first time that the offices had closed due to the corona case as it happened in the past few months. Not so long Mayor Basani Agnes Shibambu decried the fact that Convid -19 cases are increasing in the area due to noncompliance by members of the community. She expressed disappointment that people in rural villages were staging soccer games where people were not observing the regulations to fight Convid -19 virus and people behaved as if there was not this disease ravaging the entire world. By yesterday, South Africa had a cumulative total of 627 041 confirmed COVID-19 cases. Limpopo province stands at 665 active cases.
