Sjava: Umama (music video)

Sjava has dropped visuals for his new song, titled Umama. It is a sweet song dedicated to moms and all the special things they do for us.
Would it have been too cheesy to release it on Mother's Day?
Umama is basically about how Sjava - even though he is an old man covered in beard, misses his mom. I think most can relate.
Let me watch the music video and see what it is all about;

Here is Sjava, sick of fans and fame, he just wants to see his mom. So he leaves.
Sjava is the humble fella. He left his sports cars at his mansion. He is hitch hiking.
... not once ...
... but twice. 
The guys at the back are laughing at this bearded celebrity, hitch hiking.
Cows are a sign that he is close to home. He is about to see his Mama.
His mom sees him from a distance.
Sjava just stands there and lets his old mommy run to him.
Mama thanks her ancestors for keeping Sjava safe and making him rich.
Sjava is happy next to Mama again.
I always wondered if these rappers moms actually listen to the songs dedicated to them. Mothers don't listen to hip hop but rappers drop bars on them. Sjava afro-popped it. Mothers listen to afro-pop. He afro-pops a lot. I wonder if we'll ever hear another Vura.
When Sjava is home. It is a party!
... even the bishop joins in the fun.
... and this guy.
Bishop's right hand man needs a coke refill.
This is how rappers do a family portrait. 
There are like 50 more family members obscured by Sjava from camera view because he just doesn't want to stand in line with everybody else.
Sjava's iconic index finger wag. That's when he is trying to sound like he's saying something important... Shekhinah does this too.
Here is Sjava embraced by Mama. 
The visuals were made by Ambitiouz.

Sjava's ode to Mama is sweet and personal. But it is also relateable because most people have moms. Sometimes the world can be too harsh and unforgiving. We all eventually - even old men like Sjava, need mom's love.

TOKOLOSHE: where she goes, it follows.

On the promising side... Did you see this? Did you hear about this?... Apparently there's a local movie out called TOKOLOSHE. I heard this morning. Maybe I am ignorant... or it wasn't marketed well. Which is a shame too, because the trailer looks fresh. It's for the horror movie buffs. A creaky door at night is always creepy. People with haunted house never lubricate the door hinges. She's sleeping peacefully, when something crawls into bed... could it be Tokoloshe? Yep. Tokoloshe has landed. ... and he's a hippy with blonde dreads. This is how we describe Joburg... otherwise known as Sin City. The nurse is a Tokoloshe encyclopedia. She scares the main character even before Tokoloshe himself makes an appearance. And of course the halls in haunted houses experience perpetual load shedding. Tokoloshe finally speaks. He is middle aged and Zulu. Here, he is trying to smooth talk a young, innocent kid... which is creepy on man...

For The Game Of Thrones Fans In Mzansi. The New Posters Are Out.

  The long awaited Season 8 is just one month and a few days away. It has been a great journey since season 1, when Jammie pushed little Bran to his supposed death.  All kinds of hell have broken loose since then, on the Stark family and the whole realm really; Ned Stark lost his head, Jammie lost his hand, Greyjoy lost his penis while Jon Snow lost his virginity. Sansa lost her innocence. Cersei lost her children. Dragons were born. Slaves were freed. White walkers were discovered. People were resurrected.   Wars were fought. Little girls were sacrificed.   Betrayals were coming thick and fast. A phony Pastor brought a kingdom to its knees...  We got to hang out with one of the best characters in the history of series... And here are a few; Sansa Stark. Arya Stark. Bran Stark, who didn't die when he was supposed to. Jon Snow AKA  Aegon Targaryen The mother of dragons herself.  Some people in real life ha...
