Choose from the 5 hairstyles to switch up your look
Looking to switch up your hair look? Join the hair craze and look seductive yet playful by gathering your hair on one side of your shoulder.
Here are five hairstyles to choose from:
1. Side sweep
For a gorgeous summer look, try sweeping your tresses to the side. Add a little sense of chic by braiding, teasing or curling the gathered locks and you're good to go.
Quick tip: Having a weave doesn't mean you don't have to style your hair. If you can't style it yourself, go to the salon. – Khosi Mthembu

2. Hair colour
Colour is fun, and all seasons call for cheerfulness. Though it seems the ombre trend is here to stay, you can still explore other colour options like streaks or colouring your hair in a daring shade.
Quick tip: Make sure your hair is in good condition before applying colour as the dye will further damage it. – Jawad Maphoto

3. Big hair don't care
Bring your whole look together with voluminous hair to make you feel like you're on top of the world.
There's nothing quite like voluminous hair to get you in the mood for an outing or just to make you feel full of va-va-voom. Bring those curls forth and strut your stuff.
Quick tip: Use a leave-in conditioner, followed by a diffuser to mould the natural curls. Finish with an oil sheen spray for healthy-looking bouncy hair. – Nthato Mashishi

Foday Musa Suso, 75, Dies; Ambitious Ambassador for West African Music
Foday Musa Suso, a griot, kora virtuoso, multi-instrumentalist and composer whose work with artists like Herbie Hancock and Philip Glass helped thrust West African musical traditions into conversation with the world, died on May 25 in his native Gambia. He was 75. The percussionist Stefan Monssen, a mentee of Mr. Suso's, confirmed the death, in a hospital. He did not specify a cause, but said Mr. Suso had been in ill health in recent years after suffering a stroke. Mr. Suso was born into a long line of griots, the caste of musician-storytellers who are traditionally responsible for retaining oral histories in the areas of West Africa where the Mande languages are spoken. He traced his lineage back to Jeli Madi Wlen Suso, who is said to have invented the kora centuries ago by attaching 21 strings and a cowhide to a large calabash gourd. Mr. Suso was the rare musician who learned to play in the various regional styles of griots from around West Africa. In a tribute published in Gambia's major newspaper, The Standard, Justice Ebrima Jaiteh of the country's high court wrote, 'Jali Foday was more than a musician, he was a living archive, a teacher, and a symbol of continuity in a rapidly changing world.' (The honorific 'Jali' refers to Mr. Suso's status as a griot.) And yet Mr. Suso's career was powered as much by his will to expand as by reverence for tradition. He added three bass strings to his kora's traditional 21, allowing him to hold a steady beat and make its sound more danceable — and therefore more appealing to young listeners in the 1970s. He wrote many of his own compositions. He also learned to play more than a dozen other instruments, including the balafon (an African predecessor of the xylophone), kalimba (also known as the thumb piano), nyanyer (a one-stringed violin-like instrument), ngoni (an early West African banjo) and talking drum. After moving to the United States, he began experimenting with electronic instruments as well. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Farewell to Louis Moholo-Moholo: Jazz revolutionary and anti-apartheid voice dies at 85
Louis Tebogo Moholo-Moholo, who died at 85, was the final surviving member of South Africa's pioneering Blue Notes sextet. He was also the only member who lived to return home after decades in exile. Moholo-Moholo's work protesting against apartheid raised global awareness about South Africa's struggle and earned him the National Order of Ikhamanga from President Thabo Mbeki in 2004. The South African jazz world has lost one of its greatest pioneers. Louis Tebogo Moholo-Moholo, the internationally acclaimed drummer and last surviving member of the Blue Notes sextet, died at age 85. Family spokesperson Mr Phila Mtwana confirmed the legendary musician's death, saying, 'he died this morning in his sleep at home.' Moholo-Moholo was one of the founding members of the Blue Notes, along with pianist Chris McGregor, trumpeter Mongezi Feza, bassist Johnny Dyani, and saxophonists Dudu Pukwana and Nikele Moyake. He was the only member of this influential group to survive their years in exile. Born on 10 March 1940 in Cape Town, Moholo-Moholo's journey through music began in the townships of apartheid South Africa. In 1964, facing increasing racial oppression that limited their ability to perform together as a mixed-race group, the Blue Notes left South Africa to perform at the Antibes Jazz Festival in France. What was initially planned as a temporary departure became permanent exile as apartheid's grip tightened at home. After settling in London, the legendary drummer became a central figure in the European avant-garde jazz scene. His drumming style, which merged traditional African rhythms with free jazz experimentation, made him a sought-after collaborator. He performed with the Brotherhood of Breath, a big band that combined South African exiles with British free jazz musicians and worked with international luminaries, including Cecil Taylor, Steve Lacy, and Derek Bailey. His music protested apartheid, raising awareness among European audiences about the struggles faced by Black South Africans. Unlike his Blue Notes bandmates, all of whom died in exile, Moholo-Moholo lived to see the end of apartheid and returned to South Africa in 2005, settling in his hometown of Langa, Cape Town. His contributions to music and anti-apartheid activism earned him the National Order of Ikhamanga in Silver from former president Thabo Mbeki in 2004. More recently, he was honoured during KwaLanga's centenary celebrations with legacy projects designed to introduce his pioneering work to younger generations of South Africans. Moholo-Moholo leaves behind an unparalleled legacy as not just a master drummer but as a cultural ambassador who used music as a weapon against oppression and a bridge between traditions.

Full circle moment for Mlindo The Vocalist and DJ Maphorisa in new new single, Inkomo Zika Baba
He's given us AmaBlesser and Emakhaya. Not only did these hits usher us into covid, but they also saw us through its first bit. Even after a stint away from the limelight, Mlindo the Vocalist hasn't lost his touch. The beloved storyteller and award-winning top-selling artist Mlindo has now officially launched the countdown to his highly anticipated third album, Uhambo-The Journey, with the release of its powerful lead single - Inkomo Zika Baba. The lead single features DJ Maphorisa, Cowboii and Madumane. Returning with a bolder and mature voice and a deeper story to tell, he is ready to take us on a sonic journey of his life with Uhambo-The Journey. Read more | Musician Mlindo starting on a clean slate - 'I had to learn the hard way' The album is a storytelling project that chronicles his path from the long-travelled road from his top-selling debut album Emakhaya through the self-reflective lens of his sophomore self-titled album 'Lindokuhle'. He opens a new yet very familiar chapter, that captures growth, self-awareness and his steadfast pursuit of storytelling. 'My new single, Inkomo Zika Baba, featuring DJ Maphorisa and CowBoii, is a piano song and it felt right to release this single first as it features my mentor and father figure DJ Maphorisa. My musical journey started with him, my first biggest song AmaBlesser was done with him, so this song just felt like it's the perfect song to start off the journey of Uhambo,' he shares. On Inkomo Zika Baba, the artists paint a vivid picture of a man so devoted to his partner that he's willing to give everything to make her his wife, even if that means gambling, taking out a loan, or offering every last one of his father's cows. It's a heartfelt, dramatic, and relatable tale of commitment and admiration, told through Mlindo's signature lyrical storytelling. 'In this song we talk about a partner that you love so much that you just want to lobola them. All you want to do is marry them immediately, I talk about being willing to take all my father's cows to give to this person's family just to have them as my wife- there are no limits to how far I would go to get this person to be my wife. I talk about even going to a loan shark, just to make sure that the lobola money is there and it's an amount that is right and fitting for this person,' he adds. In an Instagram post announcing the album countdown, he thanked his supporters for having held him down since Emakhaya days.
