"Looking like lost souls, how? These Kwaito legends look healthy and happy. How should they look so you can respect them? If I look like this in my old age, I will be grateful, but we have some twisted Twitter standards."

"Where's usbari kaJakarumba? uMdu Masilela? There's absolutely nothing wrong with them, gents, we were sufficiently entertained by them in the mid 90 to early 2000s. Time they play with grandkids. Hosh."
@motaunm1 replied:
"Nothing lasts forever, aging is guaranteed, but what do you do with your time on top? Very important, these guys built an empire and are sitting comfortably rich, they own Kalawa Jazzmee, and they act like nothing is happening in their lives….love them."
