People think that I stopped working intentionally to go into business. This is not true. I quit my permanent job with intention to split my focus between independent contracts and my creative business. This decision was mandated by circumstances I found myself in as...
Today I’m reminded once again that; Learning happens one day at a time. Winning ideas spring up one moment at a time. Wisdom is ignited one conversation at a time. Legacies are created one experience at a time. Change happens one person at a time. What’s in our minds,...
Your feelings fluctuate between different emotional states during change, each individual is unique in how they process these emotions. It’s critical for you to recognise how you feel and take the right steps to manage your emotions before they become a hindrance in...
Most times I find myself alone. My best times are with myself. Yet my world is surrounded by people. People I love and cherish. People who love me wholeheartedly as well. People I make cameo appearances in their lives. Whom we have shared best laughs and silent cries....

To celebrate the international relaunch of www.thebemagugu.com on the 13th of June, I am proud to introduce the 2nd instalment of our acclaimed Heritage Series - story exclusive to British Vogue (@britishvogue). We focused on celebratory and totemic studies of 9 South African cultures, illustrated through a “Mother & Child” motif by artists Phathu Nembilwi For the next two weeks, we will release short essays written by Dr M.E Chauke [Dept. Of Health Studies, UNISA], Prof. J.D Mokoena [Dept. Nursing Sciences SMHSU] and Prof. M.C Matlakala [Dept. Of Health Studies, UNISA] explaining each culture’s folkloric childbearing rituals and beliefs, written exclusively for the capsule. For the muses in the image above, I invited women who have been a personal inspiration to me and are also leaders in their respective fields, across music, film, law, fashion, art and politics. Strength, as you will see in the artistic portraits that support this project, is a critical component of this project and the women here have shown it in such a sophisticated, powerfully feminine and graceful manner. The 9 images illustrating each dress, to be released over the next two weeks, sees subjects carrying a multitude of objects on their heads, much like my own family, who swung between South Africa and The Kingdom of Lesotho. Seeing the women in my family have to carry children on their back and necessities on their head always reminded me of (incredibly chic) Afro totem poles; a showcase of utter strength both physical and symbolic and I wanted to pay homage to this memory. This has been photographed by fine art photographer Tatenda Chidora and art director Chloe Andrea Welgemoed.Muses (Left to Right): Zandile Tshabalala, Pearl Thusi, Lindi Mazibuko, Bee Diamondhead, Syntiche Kabuya, Lita Miti-Qamata, Nadia Nakai, Reneilwe Lebea, Anak Akol.P.S - We have also included the newly-minted Ndebele “Mother & Child” Dress - thank you to all those who gave this feedback with the last Heritage Capsule.Much love,Thebetsile ...
