Are you ready for the Fly Chix?

Reality shows have become a trend in SA, but as much as I love seeing some of those faked "real" scenes I am not looking forward to seeing a bunch of wild wanna B schlebs/spice girls (SAversion) on my screen. The all-female group of supposedly talented singers and dancers consists of Denise, Joy, Zeena and Takkies.

The Fly Chix
The show will revolve around their introduction to the music industry. Have to admit with all the snap shots I have seen, its bound to go down. So if you wanna know who's the Fly Chix, stay tuned to Vuzu tonight at 07:30.

Drop me a comment and let me know if its a Yaiy or Naiy.....

Station Hopper to brace our TV sets once again!!!

New addition to Sabc 3 Expresso Live show.

  So the SULTRY Minenhle "Minnie" Dlamini  is coming back to our TV screens. Jumping from one station to another has become rather stirring for this young lady as she has graced our tv sets on Live, M-Net's The Wild, Generations and now to join the morning crew Expresso on Sabc 3.

As they say one mens LOSS is another mens GAIN, after being canned by the soapie "The Wild" Minnie has managed to bounced back ontop of her tv game. I bet all man can't wait to see the "feisty" mammie back on thier screens, talk about morning glory *yawn*.

Anyway catch Minnie this coming friday at 6am-8:30am on Sabc 3 Expresso Live.

Feel free to share your comments and spread the love.

XOXO.....Stay Phly :)

Lira still performances with no Obama.


So I decided to check on the hype about our SA artists, who were invited to perform at Barack Obama’s inaugural celebration and all I heard was this.........................

That’s cause our artists didn’t even get a glimpse of the president, Gosh what a bummer after all the groundwork done. Hau I mean even our talented fashion icon David Tlale went all supreme and decided to get the Leopard out of the cage, Geez, I hope that was not the reason why Le’presidente decided to play far and stick to the performance of Mama Blue Ivy. Does Mr President even know how exclusive and pricey that dress was (wonder why thou?).

The 8kg dress worth R20 000

Oh well on the other hand, who the hell comes across VISA dilemma’s with an invite from the president. It’s been reported that our talented trumpeter Mo T and DJ/Producer Dr Duda remained behind due to Visa quandaries. HELLO.... YOU DON'T GET INVITED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNTRY AND HAVE PROBLEMS GETTING THERE. That’s  just too wrong.

Anyway J-something managed to get there and the schlebs still represented regardless, whoop whoop. But on the real I still advice that next time all animals be left where they belong @ the ZOO. Not on Lira’s body.



XOXO.... I’m still on the dress case, what is that?.....

Bouga Luv to wed Gail.....

Kabelo and Gail

Congratulations are in order for the wild actress Ms Gail Nkoane, sista will be getting married to kwaito star turned pastor Kabelo Mabalane.The soon to be "ma-moruti" has been together with the star for some time now.

I guess the star has stopped playing and decided its time to wed her mammie, Kabelo's publicised break up with supermodel Noni Gasa adorned allot of gossip pages around the world. Need I say that his relationship with Gail was kept well away from the watchful eye of the media this time.

Gail Nkoane who plays Lelo Sedibe in The Wild

Gail who was born and bred in Kimberly is a singer turned actress who plays the role of Lelo Sedibe in the M-Net soapie The Wild. The 2001 Top 5 SA Teen contestant and Top 6 finalist of SA Idols season 6 will take on the role of being Bouga's "wifey" sometime this year in a private ceremony.

Kwaito Star Bouga Luv turned pastor :)

Meanwhile Bouga Luv has requested some privacy around his wedding, just like everybody else he would like for the wedding to be respected. Kabelo's representative Shiela Afari said on his behalf  "Kabelo will celebrate this period in private with his family and close friends and we appeal to the media and general public to afford him his wish". 

Moi wishes Kabelo and Gail a happy and blessed life together. xoxo

What if he "CHEATS"


At some point in ones life we do come across cheating. Either we cheat or we get cheated on. Who wants to wake up one morning with the reality of a cheating partner. When you get scared from the results of a cheating spouse, the heart learns techniques that might be good but also harmful in order to protect itself.

Being in a situation where you suspect that your partner is cheating is a stressful time of emotions and uncertainty. believe me when I say nobody will want to be in this position. However it does happen and its always better to find out the truth in the long run than just brushing off any suspicions, whether true or false.

I have been through such, where everything my mind tells me is in contrast with what my heart tells me too. The signs are always there, but sometimes we too blinded by love itself that we never take note. So allow me to share a few basic tips to finding that cheating bastard!!!


His cheating if/when :

  • When they start loosing interest in the relationship and begin distancing themselves.
  • when they always angry, cruel towards you and verbally abuse you. 
  • Major changes in daily routines and working schedules, they always come up with pathetic excuses.
  • Partner becomes too flirtatious, even when you with them.
  • When they show signs of caring less.
  • When everything starts being about "me" not "us".
  • When everything you think he's doing are signs of cheating, take note he might be CHEATING vele.

So to all the ladies that have cheating partners :  "YOUR KEY TO HAPPINESS IS NOT IN HIS POCKET, LET LIVE AND FIND THAT PERFECT MAN THAT WILL TREAT YOU LIKE YOU THE ONLY GIRL IN THIS WORLD".

The Soil goes GOLD on their album!!!


Whoop! Whoop! my favourite group has gone Platinum Yaiy!!!
When Native Rhythms and Sony Music signed this vibey, talented Accapella group, something was bound to give, and 7 years through the journey they made it, even BIGGER.

The group consists of four members : Buhlebendalo Mda, Luphindo Ngxanga, Ntsiki Ngxanga and the creator himself (God), supported occasionally by two backing vocal artists Asanda and Tshoarelo. Thier "Kasi Soul" feel comes so natural that one wonders if such talent can ever come across any competition.



The group hails from Soweto, they have been together for 8 years and have always shared the love for music and God. Personal Lady Phly is no Accapella fan but having such raw talent makes it quit hard to exist. It is music like this that makes one Proudly S.A.


CHECK OUT!!! The Soils - Baninzi (Official music video)



CONGRATS TO THE SOIL, WE MOSDEF LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE "KASI SOULFUL VIBES"

Shimzas R100 000 donation

YTKO spinner and ground breaking DJ Shimza gives back to his community in Thembisa.
The successful DJ who hails from Thembisa gave away stationary and school shoes worth R100 000.

Shimza confirmed rumours of the R100 000 giveaway worth of stationary and school shoes. Last years edition of the 'One man show' which is an event that raises funds for the initiative was a huge success as the turnout was out of this world. A total of 10 000 Shimza fans packed up to see him do what he does best.

It's so uplifting to see such young talent making it not only in the industry but in their respected communities too. Donations took place at the Multipurpose Hall in Thembisa yesterday with a turnout of more than 300 kids.

I bet a few schlebs could learn a thing or two from this talented disc jockey as this kind of work is what speaks louder flashing dimes.

Have your say, simply comment or follow me on twitter @ElizPhly for all your latest.

Quentin Tarantino is ‘UNCHAINED’ with Django.



With all the critics that the director is being getting, we all got to admit that Django unchained is by far the best.

Set in a depraved South "Django" is a revenge fantasy against slave owners akin to Tarantino's "Inglorious" revenge fantasy against the Nazis.

"Django Unchained" starts with Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) intercepting a group of slaves and their captors in dead-of-night Texas a few years before the Civil War. Schultz, a dentist turned bounty hunter and an enlightened German national, seeks out Django (Jamie Foxx) because the slave can identify some bounty-hunting targets who worked as plantation overseers.

Schultz (sort of) purchases Django, after much bloodshed, promising to set Django free after their mission is complete. He feels guilty to "own" a man, he tells Django, but it also suits his purposes temporarily.

The chatty Schultz serves as voice of reason and quasi-narrator at the film's start, explaining his every action to Django as they go. Waltz shows the same amiable manner and verbal ability he displayed in his Oscar-winning role as a Nazi in "Inglorious." Here, though, he's heroic.

Rated R, the movie runs for 165 minutes.

Cast: Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson and Kerry Washington

Django Unchained will be screened on the 18TH of January 2013.
