Florence Masebe remembers her daughter 4 years after her passing

Florence Masebe remembers her daughter’s death anniversary. The little angel passed away 4 years ago; in August 2019. Taking to Instagram, Flo shared a photo of her late daughter and captioned with lovely words to her.

“My beautiful little star. I stopped myself from crying into a complete mess at the airport as you pushed your heavy luggage through to passport control. That you are setting off on this big journey today is quite a thing too. We laid your Koko to rest on this day in 2019. Tomorrow is the day your angel uncle T was born.”

“This is not a sad day at all. It is a beautiful new beginning for you. As you set out to do that which you are gifted to pursue, I send you off with love and absolute awe of the amazing young person you have become. Go! Soar! Show the world what you are made of. Mama is proud. To the village that rallied around to make this possible, ri a livhuwa,” she concluded. Friends and fans sent comforting words to Flo.

Actress Florence Masebe defends cultural activist kicked out of store

Veterian actress Florence Masebe has come to Thando Mahlangu’s defence.

This after the cultural activist was chased out of Clicks store at the Midrand Boulders Shopping Centre yesterday in an incident that shocked many social media users.

The actress tweeted: “I’ve never seen him dressed in any other way except his full Ndebele attire, which he wears with pride.

“That is his normal everyday wear. Yet he keeps getting told that his cultural dress isn’t good enough for some spaces.”

In a follow-up tweet, she said: “Yesterday, some were refusing to connect the dots. It’s not just about hair or clothes. It’s about being so well-conditioned in self-hate that you can’t fathom that others are free from colonial shackles.

“This is an African country. Take that in. Centre management doesn’t just show up to your store and tell someone to leave. They would need to be called.”

When the video surfaced on social networks, it caused so much outrage that Clicks distanced itself from the incident.
But this didn’t stop the anger from people who called for something to be done.

Twitter user Mandlakazi wrote: “Workplaces should include a clause that encourages inclusivity in office wear. Part of the problem is: we’re told imvunulo yetfu nesintfu setfu is not good enough for corporate – just weddings and silly costume parties.”

Sne Khumalo commented: “Yazi, seeing someone wearing traditional clothing in an urban area, I feel such happiness, a sense of belonging, of home.

“Now, seeing a black person deeming our cultural gear as inappropriate hurts to the core. How did we get to such self-hatred as a people? Kahleni bo.”

Another user, Andries, wrote: “It was nauseating to watch. I wished I was the Clicks manager. I’d have forcibly removed him. Centre manager se gat.”

Florence Masebe Reveals One Thing That Is Seriously Needed In South Africa

The veteran actress made this known in a recent social media post she made on the popular social media platform, Twitter.

The post she made reads;

“We need to standardise @swift_safrica workshops on sexual harassment for every production. It’s a serious need.”

In a recent post, she recounted her early days during the cast of GENERATIONS.

She made the post as she remembered the late South African movie icon who played a major role in the soap opera, Menzi Ngubane.

The post she made on Twitter reads;

“In our early days at Generations, many of us lived around Yeoville and Berea… we shared the same cast transport with Menzi, Mam’Daph, Stha, Bra Ernest… I can’t remember who else. Those early morning memories in Thabo’s Caravelle. Oh man… The jokes. The laughter…

In later years I’d tease him about being in Generations twice, he had played a character called Lenin before, one of Sonny’s friends at the bar along with Stoffel. He’d respond by reminding me that I was a jogger in pink tights on Soul City before rejoining the show as Sis Noni.

We were talking about people with six packs one morning he said “hayi, thina abanye sesiwaphuzile, kusele uplastiki ku phela”… Of course having him and Mam’Daph Hlomuka in one car meant they would reminisce a lot about their time on Ubambo Lwam. They had played mother and son.

I hope Mam’Daph, Ramolao Makhene, Gloria Mudau, Henry Cele, Ken Gampu, Roseline Morapedi, Lesego Motsepe & the rest of the ensemble are ready for your big entrance on the other side. Thank you for sharing the finest of your craft with us. Thank you for showing up on cue always.”
