PROPHECY FULFILMENT:
On 6 June 2021, I shared the following Prophetic Word:
Glory to God! I trust you’re well and denying yourself, taking up your Cross daily and following the Example of the Lord Jesus Christ so you can rule and reign with Him in this world and the World to Come.
BEGINNING
I saw an Angel of God suspended in midair, hovering over the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) campus in Auckland Park, Johannesburg, South Africa. He was dressed in a beautiful white linen garment.
He loomed large over the sprawling SABC campus. He looked like a full grown man standing above a doll house. He was large.
Later on I was reminded of what the Lord had been ministering to me about influential people in general but South African celebrities in particular, dying in this season.
We are going to see something happen within the South African media landscape. We should expect to see actors, actresses, producers, directors, DJs, musicians, models, influencers, media personalities and many people involved in the broadcasting and media industry start to fall.
By fall I mean die. We are going to see many deaths in the television, radio and other related media industries. We’re going to see stars and superstars fall in this season.
I believe this spreads beyond the SABC as an entity and it relates to the media and broadcasting industry in general. The SABC was the first media and broadcasting corporation in this country. It’s therefore seminal and it gave birth to many others that
emerged over the decades.
END
Famed director and producer, Teboho Mahlatsi, has passed on. Details of his passing are not yet disclosed. He was 49.
I knew Teboho personally. I was once an advertising Creative Director. After seeing his showreel, but also just his approach to Yizo Yizo, a popular local drama, my Art Director Sam Matutoane and I, wanted to work with Teboho desperately.
We were working for the number one agency in South Africa, and the world at the time – TBWA Hunt Lascaris. The stakes were very high and the agency had never worked with a black director before, let alone one who had never shot a tv commercial.
After much convincing, the agency agreed to have him shoot his first ever tv commercial, which I wrote and Sam art directed.
After our tv commercial, everyone in the ad industry wanted to work with him, and he went on to shoot a sizeable number of tv commercials.
He was a great guy.
My condolences to the Mahlatsi family. May his soul rest in peace.
I would like to thank God for the Mercy of His Foreknowledge. I give Him all the Praise and all the Honour. No Prophecy ever originated from anyone but God Himself. God never lies. Glory to God!
