Palesa’s Virtual Sendoff
You all know me, or think you do…But a big part of who I am, is who I’m not. I’m just a humble parent. And I’m only human. And today I’d like to appeal more to your hearts and souls. It’s said into each life, a little rain must fall. And boy, has it been raining hard in mine. If that also includes you, take heart.
Unfortunately, my daughter took her last breath on Monday the 22nd of June. But it’s said the measure of a true life should not be in the total number of breaths one takes during their lifetime, but more in the moments that take one’s breath away. She provided us, her family and friends, with many of those in her 35 short years on Mother Earth. But for those left behind, we must now cope with the roaring silence.
I will always love you, with all of my heart. And I hope I also echo the sentiments of your departed loved ones. It is said, where there is deep grief there was great love.
I’m John the Boss. Peace and love always.

From His Heart to Ours: A One-Year Anniversary Tribute
A year to the day of his passing, we gather around the microphone to celebrate a legacy that continues to resonate through every chord of our lives. This Sunday, June 28th, African Calabash Radio presents a deeply personal tribute show dedicated to Clancy Mbirimi.
Hosted by ShaNice, alongside her siblings—Muchie1, Liliosome, Joko, and Staple-Food—this broadcast is an intimate journey through the music he lived. Rather than showcasing his own catalog, Clancy’s children have curated a unique playlist reflecting the soundtrack of his life: the songs he loved, the melodies he sang with them, and the music they grew up hearing him sing.
To close this special memorial, they will share one of his very own musical compositions—bringing the journey full circle from his heart back to ours.

Community Mourns the Tragic Loss of Langton Zulu
The local and Zimbabwean diaspora communities are in deep mourning following the tragic passing of Langton Zulu, a dedicated long-haul truck driver and loving father of three from Kettering.
Langton lost his life in June 2026 following a devastating multi-vehicle collision on the M25 motorway in Essex. Known for his warm spirit and dedication to his family, his sudden departure leaves behind a grieving wife and three young sons.
An outpouring of love and community support is currently underway to assist his family during this unimaginably difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Zulu family and everyone touched by his life.
------------------------------
A GoFundMe appeal has been established to support his grieving family. Support the family at the Langton Zulu GoFundMe Appeal.
