Last night, Tshisa had Rhythmic Elements as guest artists.
♫who can tell… gore di wa kae♫
♫follow me, o tla utlwa monate♫
I’d like to know how effective this marketing of musicians on Tshisa actually is. They had quite a serious interview there… quote “Rhythmic Elements is not a band, it’s a project” unquote. I-yhoo…
Tjo…Sis’Matu is giving her best again on Tshisa. She’s that auntie that everybody has. After she “captures” that Latoya chick and places her on set, there she goes calling Ayanda to the side and telling her that her distant cousin is on her way from Transkei and she better have a job for her coz she’s boss. I just LMAO at this bit.
The Latoya chick is quite great, though… far better than Ayanda. But there’s an underlying story there; she’s had a complicated life. And for the life of Tshisa I hope her story about being from PE and having rich parents was a bluff coz if it wasn’t, I give up on this drama.
Its official Bakstena is the life and soul of this story. Well, not quite like Sylvester of APCH, but he kinda adds the spice. Anyway, he now needs to shoot a video for his new album and apparently Bafana has to feature in it to boost its sales. On the other hand poor Bafana is now writing songs for uPrecious. [Yes, more like Ajax’s Saving Grace… yawn!]
And at least this episode we were saved from seeing that Shane again in that pink jacket. I mean the idea of him appearing and disappearing in Bafana’s head is soooo Muvhango!
Moving on… baby Precious needs to go to college; uGogo doesn’t want to hear a thing about that. Lindiwe is now moving in kuloPrecious, even promising to pay rent. At the time she asked to pay rent, I thought to myself… okay… with what money?? But naah… she’s got uBab’Shabalala wrapped around her lil’finger. She says one word and uMadala opens his wallet. The poor old man just can’t stand the thought of not having grandchildren…So “anything for the woman that shall bring forth an heir...” – yes, Muvhango again...]
This is after the madala has paid inhlawulo to Lindiwe’s drunken mother and “father”. Anyway, Lindiwe’s mom… had another scene - a full-minute run – specially for her… screaming the very same words… *Lindiwe, You Are A Slut*. ///yawn///
Back to Precious...Bheki offers to pay for her education and gives a speech…yare yare education is important to you yare yare. shem.. That scene took me back to The Observer’s Things We Do For Love…. I just imagined in three years time, when Preshiii is married to Bafana, Bheki would have an interview with TtvO...similar to Toxic’s one about buying a car. ha ha ha ha hah lol.
Anyway, Preshii doesn’t want anything to do with bhut’Bheki right now… she kissed Bafana last week and hopefully things will slowly fall into place; hence the songs Bafana has started writing. In any case, Bheki has Ayanda on his back now. Yho, she’s quite a chaser that woman… she doesn’t give a man a break. I would be surprised if she’s not pregnant. Afterall, it seems like pregnancy is selling on Mzansi TV these days.
And it looks like Bakstena di mo khawatile. After a few sniffs he has blood come out of his nose and with the amount of coke his supposedly manager gives him, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s all rat poison – which would be ////a big sigh///.
People with storylines tsa di drugs… should start thinking of something else. This line ya rat-poison is getting really tired.
So last night ended on that note. Bakstena’s manager is making threats, forcing his way through things, even vandalising Ayanda’s apartment, coz he insists that Bakstena performs on Tshisa. We’ll see what happens there, coz, Bakstena with his bloody-snort; I doubt he’ll even be fit for such a performance.
I’m somewhat disappointed with Tshisa, though... I mean Season 1 ended on quite a high note and I think this season is taking very long to catch up on the standard set by last season.
We will see. But for as long as Shane still appears in that pink jacket… this story still has a long way to go.
On a closing note, who exactly is Tshisa’s target audience??? I’m beginning to think, maybe I’m not.
