NAMBITHA

Please help me wish my dad a happy birthday today!!! My dad never promised to be perfect. My dad promised to keep his promises. 41 years and he has not reneged. I just checked my accounts and his running tab is paid in full. My dad has kept every promise he has made and continues to make. Growing up my father used to say to me, ‘Saysay, a promise is there’, and he would look at me, waiting for my eager 6 year old response, ‘a promise is kept’. My father’s boldest lesson to me was to teach me to honour my word. He taught me about the power of the truth. Please join me in celebrating, my father, Prof. Thami Mazwai. If you happen to see him today, please shout, ‘a promise is there’, and let’s see if he responds as he taught me, how he showed me to. For all those asking, why is she telling us she is an alcoholic? Why is she not retaining her anonymity, as she can? I’ve always lived my life publicly. I don’t see that changing. I’m an alcoholic. That’s the truth. To ask me to keep this to myself, is to ask me to go against my most treasured value. Honesty. This is me guys. I see people leaving and that’s ok. Let’s fill the room with people who love the ugliest truths about themselves. #nomisupasta #surrender #nextweektuesday #inspiration #newmusicfriday
