In the words of @FabrizioRomano "Here We Go"!!!!!
So happy to have found a HOME for our show at @hbo . Thank you to my partner in crime @robbieleacock for inviting me on this journey to create with you. I love you brother. Shout out to our incredible team @brillstein_management_services@geordan_som and @sssadeghiannn for bringing it to life!! Nic and Jason of Swindle pictures for guiding us and Pat and Althea at 5th Season for the epic team up! Ok. Now let's Work!!!!
Incredibly honored to finally announce our collaboration with a South African Icon @charlizeafrica and @darkhorsecomics in telling the story of the @imbokodo_comic . Ms Charlize has been incredible during this journey and provided us with the support and opportunity to tell the Story of Great African Warrior Queens like Nzinga, Manthatisi, Nandi, Modjaji, Amina, Linga, Nehanda and so many more at the highest level. We simply can't wait to bring you the films, television series, anime and animation with in the cinematic Nguniverse. Shout out to the incredible team at Secret Menu in particular @mattmaher224 for the guidance over the years. Rest in peace to our shared mentor @alettaalberts .

Today has been challenging. I am lost for words. Rest in ever lasting coolness Maria. You influenced my life long before I even met you. When you and I talked SA Hip Hop (one of my greatest loves) then I discovered that you WERE Outrageous Records I almost cried. Listeners Digest by Zubz The Last Letter was the first album I ever bought. I literally saved up for it. Proverb, Tumi, H20 , Pepples and so many others defined my youth. You curated it. Then you did P.R for Kalushi and many other projects I did. I saw you everywhere. At all times. I feel like i just saw you last week. You've been there for most of my career... my life. It feels strange now. You always showed me and @b4bokang love and support. We thank you for that. You are an Icon. A legend. We will miss you. The world is less bright without you in it. The immortal Maria Maccloy. The Queen of Cool
Happy mothers day every day my love. I literally have my dream life with you. The Plan was simple. Build a family. Help each other achieve our dreams. Heal our families. Whatever the world throws at us we stand together. They don't have to like us, believe in us, forgive us, trust us, bet on us as long as we have us. Mother warrior. Mother Queen. Mother artists. And one bad ass Motherf*cker. Zazi and I are so happy you chose us @b4bokang
P.s this was meant to post on Sunday. Lol. Just realized now it didn't. Either way every day I celebrate my mother and the mother of my child.
Do you want come train with me? If you follow @koraijiujitsu and tag me in any of their posts and I'll do a draw and I'll invite the winner and a friend to come train with me and our elite coaches for a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu session for free. Everything will be provided and we can have a sit down lunch afterwards on me. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is suitable for people of all ages, gender and fitness levels. So if you win feel free to bring your parents. Grandparents, kids. Friends or colleagues. See you on the matts. Oss.
Was it really worth one week?
A quick fight study featuring @thaborametsi . What started as a simple training session evolved into this high-energy debt collector encounter. Despite having some challenges on the day, the team leaned in and delivered this in record time.
Huge shoutout to the fighters for bringing the heat—it was a blast pushing this one through the elements.

A week's ago I was invited to the @directors_guildofsouthafrica to honour my brother, friend, mentor and longest collaborator @mandlakayise_dube . And what an honour it has been to stand side by side with one of the continent... the world's... greatest filmmakers. Thank you for always honoring our story and our heroes. Thank you for showing me the value of telling our people's story. You and the great composer Rashid Lanie are the visual and audio librarians that store the book of our journey. I love you, my friend. I am brightened by your light. After Kalushi and Silverton Siege I'm looking forward on getting started on our next project. I know how much work you've put into it. I will honour your effort as best as I can. Long Live Mandla Dube! Long Live!
Happy birthday to soul mate @b4bokang . I have seen you conquer your dreams, create life, build a family, build yourself and be support system for everyone around you. I am so honored to your partner in life. The great role I've ever played is being your husband. I love you and wish you health, wealth and everlasting joy!!!
