I tell African stories on film and television. I won't always tweet in English... don't expect translations, don't ask for them. florencemasebe

The paedophile uncle that violated me from the age of 11 and got protected by relatives including his mother and wife has stage 4 cancer. I do not feel an ounce of sadness. Instead, I want to go shopping to pick the best dress.
Some person mentioned my age thinking they are insulting me... Child, I stood in a queue in Leondale and voted for Nelson Mandela. I'm ok with being here.
I want an old Volkswagen bus. Will convert it into a mobile story bus and fill it with books. I will travel to schools and read with children in their mother tongue.
Mmusi got to the mic and said "The way kungakhona ndinqondo zokuthat'intozam ndi goduke" and then Trollip said "hee ndihamba nawe, hai Bhuti mna ndihamba nawe". Then Gogo said, "nom'ungahamba ngeke ngilile". That's all.

Death called and I said NO!
I am here, beautiful scars and all. I remain grateful for life. 20 years on, I am thankful that I was able to rise again and not let the shooting define me. Where fear could have ruled, I chose to focus on being alive. 🙏🏾
What a fine young man. What a talent. What a dedicated thespian. 💔💔💔💔💔Sending love and prayers to the Sebeng family and all Mpho's loved ones. 🕊️🤍🕊️

Depression is not a joke. It is also not an opportunity for you to practice your religious superman speech. Afford people an opportunity to get the necessary treatment. If they lose the battle, don't call them weak in faith. In fact don't call them weak at all.
UNISA asked me to participate in their international mother language day event for free, then proceeded to ask me what I'm bringing to the programme. Sebete!
We need more gatvol voices to call out the mess in the South African television industry. Thank you Vatiswa Ndara for your bravery. We have to stand with you. All of us.

I'm old enough to remember the hate thrown at Jacqui Mofokeng as Miss SA. I am here to tell you that Shudu will enjoy our defence and full protection from all your messy attempts at tarnishing her reign.
I was your fan before I became your friend. Thank you for your beautiful heart and for your immense talent. I have to finish that script so you can direct an award winning women's film. Happy Birthday Ferry Jele. Actor of note. Kick-ass director. Supermom.💞🎂🎉💐💞
I am an actor. The Performers Protection Amendment Bill affects me directly. It affects every South African actor. We have had television for 40 years in this country. There is no law binding broadcasters to pay royalties to actors. The status quo must change.

Sending love today to the woman who is tired of being strong. The one who has no fight left in her. The woman who is sick of slogans. The woman who just wants to be safe. Who just wants to be free. Here's to the woman for whom the mbokodo metaphor has long expired. You are seen💚
To be Serena... To be Caster... To be a black woman who keeps unlocking new levels of excellence to the ire of those who think they own the limit buttons on black lives.
Spent the last 2 days getting unsolicited remarks about my weight from people who have no business being overly familiar with me. Human beings are exhausting. Honestly, I'm just trying to stay alive and you are obsessed with me not being the size I was before a million storms.
When I post delicacies that the people of Limpopo eat that is not an application for approval from those of you who eat differently. I'mposting our food, not asking you to eat things you don't know or like. Please don't insult us just because our food differs from what you know.
Along the journey I learnt to dance in the storm... My trials built a giant. I cry when I must... I steal away to my own corner when the outside gets too loud. I am fully aware of the task. Walking my designed purpose and discovering pockets of joy and magic along the way. ♥️👑♥️
