Fiesta SA 2016 full line-up no Black Coffee

Spring Fiesta and Soulistic Music issued a joint announcement, informing the public and all festival patrons that headliner, South African DJ and producer Black Coffee, will no longer be able to perform at Spring Fiesta on Saturday, 1st October 2016.

During an open discussion which took place this past week between Spring Fiesta festival director, Ricardo da Costa and head of Soulistic Music, Amaru Da Costa, it was disclosed that an unforeseen prestigious and vitally pivotal career opportunity had been presented to Black Coffee. One which unfortunately made it impossible for Black Coffee to honour his performance commitment to Spring Fiesta 2016.

Ricardo da Costa explained, “Black Coffee’s team approached us with this obvious dilemma and naturally our initial reaction tended towards the selfish. But as his longtime supporters, we also recognise that Black Coffee is no longer only South Africa’s to hold onto and benefit from.”

He further expressed, “Spring Fiesta fully supports and has encouraged Black Coffee to accept and embrace this unique opportunity which we believe will be seminal in further advancing and cementing his legacy on the global stage. Therefore we have made the decision to release Black Coffee from his scheduled performance at Spring Fiesta 2016.”

In response, Nkosinathi Maphumulo (Black Coffee) commented, “I’d like to extend my sincere thanks to the Spring Fiesta team for their unflinching and continued support, understanding and heartfelt blessing. I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to return to Spring Fiesta in 2017 to once again perform for all of my incredible South African fans.”

Although no longer a part of the main event, Black Coffee’s inclusion in the “Road To Spring Fiesta” campaign, a series of events taking place across Gauteng in the run up to Spring Fiesta 2016, remains unchanged. He is confirmed to perform at Two Tone Lounge in Daveyton on Saturday, 10thSeptember as part of the pre-festival party roll out.

Spring Fiesta also confirmed some other very special news… that AKA, alongside Riky Rick & Kwesta will be the first Hip Hop artists to feature on the festival’s Main Stage. Ricardo da Costa added ”One cannot deny the levels of where South African Hip Hop is, we specifically picked these artists 3 for their energy and performance value…be prepared to be entertained!!!

Magufuli Vs Chadema:Mchuano ni hatari.

Sakata lakisiasa ambalo linaendelea kuwa gumzo nchini Tanzania limechukua sura mpya baada ya  kushuhudia mpambano mkali kati ya Raisi wa Jamhuri ya muungano wa Tanzania Mh Dkt John Pombe Joseph Magufuli na Chama Cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo CHADEMA.Wakati chadema wakianzisha kampeni yao maarufu kwa jina la UKUTA yaani Umoja wa Kupambana na Udikteta Tanzania,wakishiniza kuanzishwa kwa maandamano na mikutano nchi nzima kuanzia tarehe moja septemba.Raisi Magufuli amenukuliwa akipiga marufuku vikali mikutano ya vyama vya siasa kwa wanasiasa nje ya majimbo yao.President amesisitiza wanasiasa wafanye mikutano ndani ya majimbo yao na si vinginevyo.

"Kila mmoja afanye siasa kwenye eneo alilochaguliwa,Kingu mbunge wa ikungi magharibi afanye mikutano palepale kwake alipoahidi shughuli za maendeleo,Mbowe afanye siasa palepale hai alipochaguliwa na kuahidi kuwapa maendeleo,kila mmoja aliyechaguliwa afanye siasa eneo lake.Sitaki kuona mtu anatoka HAI anakwenda KAHAMA kufanya mikutano n.k Mbunge au Diwani wa HAI au Mbeya anamamlaka ya kuingia kwenye vikao vya maendeleo ndani ya majimbo yao,huwezi kuwa Mbunge wa Ubungo vikao vya maendeleo ukafanyie Tarime. 

"Mimi (Rais) pekee ndiye natakiwa kuzunguka nchi nzima kila jimbo kufikisha maendeleo niliyowaahidi watanzania wote.
Wanaotaka kuandamana au kufanya mikutano kiholela kwanini wanasubiri mwezi wa 9?Wafanye mikutano hata leo ili wajue mimi ni nani.Siwezi kugeuza hii nchi ya siasa,nataka nchi ya maendeleo tu.
Siasa zilishakwisha wakati wa KAMPENI,muda huu ni KAZI TU."

Hii ni kauli ya raisi Magufuli alipokua akihutubia wananchi wa mjini Singida leo.

Koffi Olomide Asota Jela.

Msanii mkongwe wa dansi kutoka kinsasha Koffi Olomide anaendelea kusota jela baada ya juhudi za wanasheria wake kumwombea dhamana kushindikana.

Staa huyo wa muziki wa Lingala alijikuta matatani baada ya kumpiga teke dancer wake wakati wakiwasili kwenye uwanja wa ndege wa Jomo Kenyatta jijini Nairobi Ijumaa iliyopita.

Polisi wa Kenya walimkamata usiku huo na kumrudisha kwao Kinshasa hali iliyopelekea kuvunjika kwa show aliyokuwa amepanga kufanya

Kesi yake ilisikilizwa leo huko Kinshasa. Anashikiliwa kwenye gereza la Makala.

“Ni aibu. Ni lazima afurahie haki zake. Mahakama zetu zina kasoro kwa makosa yaliyofanyika nje ya nchi, hasa kwenye kesi hii. Koffi anajua ukubwa wa matendo yake na aliomba msamaha. Ataendelea kukaa ndani kwa walau siku 15,” alisema mwanasheria wa mwanamuziki huyo, Master Lukoo Ruffin.

Bill Clinton: "Rafiki yangu" Hillary anafaa kuwa raisBill Clinton: "Rafiki yangu" Hillary anafaa kuwa rais

Rais wa zamani wa Marekani Bill Clinton amemsifu sana mkewe Hillary na kusema anafaa kuongoza taifa hilo.

Kwenye hotuba yenye hisia kali, amemweleza Hillary kama “rafiki mkubwa” na akasimulia walivyokutana na jinsi anavyojitolea katika utumishi wa umma.

Saa chache awali, mkewe aliibuka kuwa mwanamke wa kwanza nchini Marekani kuidhinishwa kuwania urais na chama kikubwa

Bi Clinton alihitimisha shughuli za usiku huo wa Jumanne kwa ujumbe wa video ambapo alisema: “Siamini kwamba tumefanikiwa kuweka ufa mkubwa zaidi katika dari hili la kioo”, akirejelea hotuba ya mkewe Rais Barack Obama, Michelle, siku ya kwanza ya kongamano.

“Na iwapo kuna wasichana wadogo huko ambao hawajalala na wananitazama, ningependa kuwaambia, huenda nikawa rais wa kwanza mwanamke Marekani na mmoja wenu anaweza kunifuata.”

Awali, Bi Clinton alisimulia walivyokutana katika Chuo cha Uanasheria Yale mwaka 1971.

“Nilimuoa rafiki yangu mkubwa,” amesema. “Tumekuwa tukitembea na kuzungumza na kucheka pamoja tangu wakati huo.”

Bi Clinton alipitisha wajumbe 2,382 wanaohitajika kutawazwa mgombea baada ya jimbo la South Dakota kutangaza matokeo yake.

Katika juhudi za kuashiria umoja katika chama, mpinzani wake wakati wa mchujo, Seneta wa Vermont Bernie Sanders alichukua maikrofoni na kumtangaza Bi Clinton kuwa mgombea mteule kwa kauli moja, tangazo lililokaribishwa kwa shangwe.

Awali, wakati wa hotuba yake rasmi Jumatatu, Bw Sanders alikuwa ametangaza: "Hillary Clinton lazima awe rais ajaye wa Marekani.”

Tangazo la Bw Sanders ni kama marudio ya kongamano la 2008 ambapo Bi Clinton alimtangaza Bw Obama kuwa mgombea mteule.

Bi Clinton atakabiliana na mgombea wa Republican Donald Trump katika uchaguzi mkuu Novemba.

Kura za maoni zinaonesha wawili hao wanakaribiana sana kwa uuungwaji mkono wa wapiga kura
