Podcasts about Mpumalanga

For the very first time this podcast has a special mix from a very deep young dj/producer that has caught my attention once again,he goes by the name Stereomusiq aka Ofuren. Here's a short Q&A I had with him to accompany the mix. **Nqalastyle**: My man thanks for droppin' this very deep mix for my podcast,for those who don't know you who is Ofuren aka Stereomusiq in short? **Siyabonga | Roots Go Deep Music 2012©**: Its a pleasure & thank you for having me. Well, Stereomuziq Ngwenya aka Ofuren is a young Deep House producer & poet from Mpumalanga, I also foundered a new underground label that I'll be launching soon with my partner Sibusiso Ncongwane. **Nqalastyle**: That's interesting,any hints on who will be the first artist to release on the label,and what kinda sound should we expect? **Siyabonga | Roots Go Deep Music 2012©**: Our first release will comprise with productions from myself, Fred Buddah & Soul Arab. You can expect a rich & dark mixture of pure 'African Deep House'. The sort of sound the label will be all about. **Nqalastyle**: That's nice,I notice you got guys we haven't really heard of,I'm looking forward to that. Why deep house when thers many other genres out there? **Siyabonga | Roots Go Deep Music 2012©**: Oh yeah, ROOTS GO DEEP MUSIC is all about new & underground talent..keepin it deep in every turn and to answer your question about "why deep house", its simple, to me deep house is spirituality, an the sonic expression of the human soul through beats, breaks & bass, that's why I was so drawn to it. I wouldn't even classify it as music because when I listen to it, it doesn't feel like music..feels like a journey..a journey through yourself..almost like meditation **Nqalastyle**: Yea I feel you man,what's your vision for your new label,who would u wanna work with, who influences you in terms of your production? **Siyabonga | Roots Go Deep Music 2012©**: The vision I've had since day one is to expose the deep underground scene of South Africa, which is very underrated. That's why I'm always searching for South African deep house producers that have real talent and have a real appreciation for this art and it feels as though its my job to convey their passion to the world. I wouldn't say I have influences, rather I have inspirations, people who have inspired me to seek & music, two people infact, Radio Slave & Lars Behrenroth..although I've never met them, they've both imparted wisdom to me. Radio Slave really inspired me to be different in my music, I do not sound like him nor do I want to but his sound really inspires to create my own individual, cause that's what art is, its individuality. Lars on the other hand really inspired me to seek the music, to find the diamond on the dust that evrybody else has missed. **Siyabonga | Roots Go Deep Music 2012©**: To seek and make music* **Nqalastyle**: Interesting stuff,I can feel your passion for this sound..now back to the mix, it is definetly not for persons under the age of real deep underground house..what inspired this mix? **Siyabonga | Roots Go Deep Music 2012©**: Lol your show inspired this mix, I'm really a fan of the other mixes before mine and they really set the tone for this one although I do like to mix it up abit **Nqalastyle**: Thanks man..do you have any favorite djs/producers local and international,or any artists that we should look out for in 2012? **Siyabonga | Roots Go Deep Music 2012©**: My favourite local producers are D'nel, Drumshift Phenyo, Luka, Soul Arab, Fred Buddah, Ted Jood. My favourite international producers are Lars Behrenroth, Pulshar, P.Laoss, Radio Slave and you can look forward to my new EP that will be dropping in May under FOMP UK **Nqalastyle**: Ok thanks again man,how do people contact you for remixing,bookings or any other related stuff? **Siyabonga | Roots Go Deep Music 2012©**: They can contact me on facebook at www.facebook.com/ofuren or they can email me at ofuren@gmail.com and if they got a demo they can send it to info.rootsgodeep.gmail.com or upload it in our drop box at www.soundcloud.com/rootsgodeep Nqalastyle: Thanks for making time and for the mix Siyabonga | Roots Go Deep Music 2012©: It is my utmost pleasure brother

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die begrotingsdooiepunt wat nou opgelos is, is nie 'n rede vir die verwydering van minister van Finansies, Enoch Godongwana nie. Daar was verskeie oproepe dat die minister afgedank moet word oor die dooiepunt wat hom nou noop om die begroting vir die derde keer op 21 Mei ter tafel te lê. Dit is 'n ongekende stap sedert 1994. Ramaphosa het gister by Cosatu se Werkersdag-herdenking in Mpumalanga gesê die silwer randjie van die dooiepunt is 'n meer deursigtige begrotingsproses:

President Cyril Ramaphosa says that he will announce the names of the people who will lead the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into the delays encountered in investigating and prosecuting TRC cases.

All manner of things are going on — thanks to those folks out there who've been sending me notes and support, much appreciated. Episode 220 deals with the start of the Transvaal Civil War, and quite a bit about Paul Kruger's early life. The American civil war was raging in 1862, and there's nothing like a war to trigger innovation — if you excuse the pun. Richard Jordan Gatling patented his terrifying Gatling gun featuring multiple rotating barrels driven by a hand crank, allowing operators to unleash a relentless hailstorm of bullets—up to several hundred rounds per minute. Its distinctive mechanical whirr echoed across battlefields, marking a chilling shift toward modern, industrialized warfare. While undoubtedly efficient, the Gatling gun also embodied a grim reality: the age when technology would reshape combat forever had arrived. Just in time to cause more chaos in the already bloody American Civil War. What is less known these days is that there was another Civil War involving descendants of Europeans, and this was going on in South Africa. The AmaZulu had just wrapped up their own recent Civil War as you've heard. All manner of brutal and uncivil conduct marked this period in South African history, as neighbour turned against neighbour and the bonds of society frayed. The Boer Republics had been riven by conflict since the days of the Voortrekkers, but in 1862 perhaps inspired in part by the American civil War, the Boer Republics went from squabbling to skirmishing. There's no proof that the carnage of the United States directly influenced South Africa, but there is proof that the Boers knew about it. Later, during the apartheid period of National Party Rule, this Transvaal Civil War was deposited in historical file 13, almost expunged, because it contradicted the prevailing political ideology where it was all the whites against all the blacks. Anything that detracted from this nationalist agenda was taboo. The modern architects of African nationalism, too, often reshape the past to suit their narratives, discarding inconvenient histories into their own version of "file 13."Compared to the carnage in America, where an estimated 750 000 people died, the South African version was far less bloody. A few dozen dead and wounded. A handful of skirmishes was the real effect, which took place in what is now Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and the North West Province - but at the same time as the American Civil War which ran from 1861 to 1865. The Transvaal Civil War started in 1862 and ended in 1864. While less gory, it was emblematic of the frontier streak embedded in the first generation descendants of the Voortrekkers. According to the constitution of the Republic, the Hervormde Church was the state church. Its members alone were entitled to exercise any influence in public affairs. Whoever was not a member of the Hervormde Church was not a fully-qualified burgher. Paul Kruger belonged to the Christelljk-Gereformeerde Kerk founded recently, in 1859, by Dr. Postma, at Rustenburg. This church became known in South Africa as the Dopper, or partly Canting Church. The derivation of the word Dopper is not completely clear, but it was believed to have come from the word dop, a damper or extinguisher for putting out Candles.

TODAY South Africa commemorates Freedom Day, under the theme, "United in Resilience for The Defence of Our Freedom and Democracy." President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to address the main celebration at the AJ Swanepoel Stadium in Ermelo, Mpumalanga. This year's celebration coincides with the 70th anniversary of the adoption of the Freedom Charter, a foundation on which our Constitution was drafted. 2025 also marks 29 years anniversary of the enactment of the Constitution as the supreme law of the Republic. The 27th of April 1994 was a watershed moment for many South Africans that carried promises of a better life. Despite efforts to implement policies and programmes that advance equality and human dignity in areas like economic empowerment, education, health care, social support and the provision of basic services, many challenges still persist. Unemployment, crime, corruption, and deteriorating service delivery top the list and South Africa also remains a highly unequal society. In our Sunday Morning Discussion want to explore whether this freedom we are celebrating TODAY, freedom that we all cherish, is shaping a shared future for all South Africans. To discuss this Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Prof. Somadoda Fikeni, Chairperson of the Public Service Commission and board member of The Indlulamithi Scenarios which examine different visions of how South Africa's 2030 future might unfold. Also joining us is Neeshan Balton, Executive Director at the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation.....

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! I can honestly say that one of the things I am most grateful for is being a hunter and the incredible community that comes with it. As hunters we all share a connection and love for the outdoors and an appreciation for one another, we enjoy swapping stories, meeting new hunters, seeing trophy photos and sitting round a fire talking absolute rubbish with a few cold ones. When Alan contacted me to say he was enjoying the Podcast and that his hunting lease was just down the road from the ranch I work on, I asked him if he wanted to record an episode to share his experience of hunting in South Africa, and he said, "Sure!" That's why I am thankful for being a hunter.   Remember to Rate & Review the episode on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
