BEING VEGAN
Health and Fitness
Imagine a world where people didn’t eat or use animals or animal
roducts!! Well it might as well be a world we all look up-to and hope to become.
Veganism is not about giving anything up or losing anything; it is about gaining
e peace within yourself that comes from embracing nonviolence and refusing to
articipate in the exploitation of the vulnerable"
ary L. Francione
So here’s what happens, man was meant to take care of animals and the
vironment alike but undoubtedly man is know and has always been know to
e and inevitably misuse all that is entrusted to him and one would describe
at man does to animals as use and not treatment and why should man find
nefit in the hurt of another living thing? Sure, wearing a leather belt another
y doesn't cause the deceased to suffer even more, but an understanding of the
ustice we cause to animals should have us asking why we consider a dead
mal's body parts fashion?
So maybe its about time you added on to reducing the
hurt and damage humanity already inflicts upon our
world but l ike any other lifestyle change, going vegan
not only takes getting used to, but it takes time to
determine what will work best for you. It's not a one size
fits all experience and there are numerous approaches
you can take.
ou could start by removing meat or dairy one day a week and go from there. Or
ou could try changing one meal at a time, having vegan breakfasts during your
rst week, adding a vegan lunch during week two and so on. You could even try
hanging one product at a time by swapping cow's milk for almond or soya milkr butter for coconut oil or margarine.
d lets not get started about the very food we eat!! Its when you look at all
ese factors that you thank God for veganism. In the simplest of words this is
ing against any form of animal use for clothing and/food and living solely on a
ant based diet, in fact, vegans survive mainly on beans, rice, pasta, fruits, and
getables--the cheapest ingredients on earth!!!
here's a plant-based alternative for almost every type of food you can
hink of, so you don't have to miss out on any of your favourite foods.Not
ll families are equally supportive of a vegan life. This is often fuelled by
egative myths about a vegan's diet as well as the importance of
aditional foods within a family.
ou can ease any resistance you may get from your family by
oing your research. Learn as much as you can about vegan
ealth and insure you have plenty of b12, omega-3, and iron
n your menu.
here is always a better reason to stick with your decisionan to go against it.

struggling and look directly at what's threatening us, said Pema

Bugsy theKID was born and bred in Ndola, he is a father of 1.
Mutale Mulenga (Bugsy) is the third born in a family of four, he
completed his High School from Kitwe Boys High School and
studied Marketing, Advertising and Public Relations.
And what exactly motivated him to take the path he took?
Well, Bugsy had always be a fan of Radio and was inspired when
he heard his brother on radio and at that moment decided that he
wanted to be a radio personality too.
It is said that every positive thought (idea) must be followed by
equally positive action in the right direction and Bugsy did just
that and when he heard a radio station was opening he took that
one step that would change the whole course of his life, Bugsy
auditioned and like it was written in the stars he got accepted by
Gesh and got professional radio personality training withGeshgroove Academy in 2007 and in 2008 "The Gutter" a Hip-
Hop show hosted by Bugsy on Flava FM in Kitwe was born.
Its safe to say that between now and then we have seen and
continue to see the rise of Bugsy TheKid, what has it really been
like?
"Oh it has been a hell of a ride. I a voice over artist with adverts
playing on every radio station in Zambia, I love producing
adverts".
During this time Bugsy got to do an MTN TV advert, which was
"a dream come true" for him. Bugsy has worked with wide range
of individuals both in the industry and outside the industry some
of whom have become partners, one of which gave him theopportunity to fly to South Africa to watch John Legend live in
concert, and "...it was awesome."

While on radio at Flava FM he was approached by Aunt
Sherrine Masupelo to try out TV and she introduced him to
ZNBC's Y-Zone programme where he worked for four
years...#RespectTheHustle
But everyone stands out, and has that one thing that makes
them standout, right? Yhup! and what makes him stand out?
"My laugh always gets people." he also describes himself as
having a warm character and as having a personality that
makes people feel free around him(couldn’t be more
accurate!) oh and BTW "I am quite loud on radio." :)
What has been his greatest achievement outside work?
“Raising a beautiful baby girl Kenya (Means God's Abode).
She is my life." awwwww:)
"My daughter inspires me, at 3 years old she knows how to
use words I don’t even think I knew how to use at that age,
every time we have a conversation it warms my heart and I
want to work harder for her."
We would be lying if we said the waters were smooth for
smooth waters never mad a skilled sailor and "Like every
other business, radio has its ups and downs, but the biggest
hurdle is being misunderstood."According to Bugsy "People
have this negative perception of a radio personality which all
started when radio became commercialised back in the 90's
coz obviously the then
presenters where super excited so maybe it tarnished the
industry a bit but the evolution of radio happened again but
people's thinking hasn’t changed much" hmmm........
He also strongly believes that they need to work
together as an industry and speak out as one voice for a
common goal but the lack of that unity in the industrycripples it and a lot of people wound up not knowing
their worth in addition "Self esteem game is weak
amongst the peers, people feel like they can pay you in
alcohol form and that’s thrown in a negotiation for a
deal. It hurts the industry."
Any long term goals?
"Opening my own radio station and build a house in
Ndola were I am going to retire to at 45 years old."
If we were to have this interview a year from now,describe what a good year would have been for you?
I would say I had a good year if my company (I have an
ad agency) sealed a big deal. I love producing adverts, I
love to create.
What are the five tips you would give to someone who
would like to take the same career path?
First and foremost love God always give him thanks
even for the worst day - because he saw you through it.
secondly stay focused, not every one will support your
ideas or goals but if that’s what your heart wants giveit, if you fail you will call it a lesson. Thirdly Have a
fall back plan ( an education), no one hires someone
who cant represent themselves. fourth, do it like its
your last time to do it, put your heart into it, there’s
always someone watching and listening. fifth, be nice.

And we know that a man is measured mainly by his endeavours he dedicates himself to, the giants he slays and the
mountains he subdues, well, Bugsy went from hosting "The Gutter" to hosting Red Carpet for Zambezi Magic!! Cleo (yes
Ice Queen) who happens to be a very good friend of his told him about it and believed he would do a good job, and quite
frankly she was more than right.
"When I got the gig to host the red carpet for Zambezi magic I was super excited. I hope I get to do more work with DStv."

Lulu Haangala was born in Lusaka, Zambia to a very humble family. At the time of her birth her
parents lived on a farm, not owning a vehicle they rode a bicycle 8km to the main road in order to hitch
hike and get to the hospital at which she was born. Later on, she and her family moved into the Town of
Lusaka where her mother secured a job as a receptionist and her father worked as a handyman. Whilst
living in Lusaka Lulu had her first ever public performance on stage at the tender age of 4 singing withher Father.
BY GABRIELLA KONDWANI BANDAM A I N S T R E A M E X C L U S I V E S
After her parents had rewritten their final
examinations, she and her family moved to
Zimbabwe where her parents had started to attend
University. "For me work started at a very young ag.
Many people wonder where I get my drive from, I
can say it comes from my upbringing in that work
for me was important not just for the fun of it but
because I was working to make ends meet for the
family." Every weekend Lulu and her father wouldgo out and sing in many churches with the hopes
that people would buy their cassettes to which the
acquired money was used to sustain the family for a
week
Lulu and her family moved back to Zambia in her
sith to seventh grade when she started working as a
maid for a white family who later on got her
sponsorship to a university she had wanted to go to
n Zimbabwe. In her 9th grade life took a turn for the
better when her parents got good jobs and were
called back to Zimbabwe.
Then at 6 years of age she and her father
advanced from mere stage performances to
recording cassettes and having television
performances. This opened opportunity doors for
Lulu Haangala, one of which was meeting the
President at the time who had requested to meet
her after watching her performance on television
Upclose With
Lulu
The university which was a Christian institution did not
only sponsor her parents in their pursuit of a master's
degree but paid 70% of Lulu's tuition till she graduated
from College in Capetown, South Africa.
According to Lulu being in front of a camera wasn’t
really what her focus wasn’t really her focus up until university when here lecturer that she came alive on
set. As a matter of fact she didn't see herself working
in front of the camera unless she had to sing, she only
envisioned herself working behind the scenes like in
production.
Further exercising her skills in presenting, Lulu went on
to get her first television job working for 'Hope
Channel'. Subsequent to this event, in her fourth year
of University she got attachments in Zambia working
for ZNBC. "At this time I noticed a lot lacking inZambian media and sensed a change coming.
Wanting to be part of it I decided to stay and play my
part in the change."
Mostly change(innovation) that occurs in any given
industry is based on the rise of entrepreneurial skills
and people and Lulu decided it was time she awoke
the entrepreneurial spirit within her, and no, it wasn’t a
one day thing, she didn’t just wake up one day and
decided to start her own venture.

Luyando university she continued with
air braiding, making it her
ersonal art she learnt all types of
air from Asian to white hair.urthermore she engaged in
elling clothing she had bought
om thrift shopping in Zambia to
esale back in South Africa.
ut still there was something
issing and she felt it, so when
he came back to Zambia Lulu
as on a mission to learn the
les and climb the corporate
dder and got a job withitiGroup.
ne of the highlights of her career
cluded meeting Americas first
ack President, Barrack Obama
ulu recalls "I remember telling
yself I will meet this man one
ay when he had just become
resident."
his dream became a reality while working as Youthmbassador for the United States Embassy for the
Washington Fellowship which she describes as an
onour and a stamp symbolizing that she was making
rogress in her work.
ut just how did she do it?
During the meeting I listened attentively to their ideas
nd innovatively tried to fit myself in then at the end of
e meeting I started to pitch my ideas." Thereafter
ulu got into an agreement stating that if she could ben asset to their brand and boost it during their '7 days
f giving project' she would become their brand
mbassador and so she became. Two months down
e line rewarding her for going above and beyond in
er work as the Pizza Hut ambassador they decided to
artner up and realize her dream of owning a media
ouse called 'Dragon Media'. "I believe sometimes in
rder for you to start your own business you have to
hare your vision. I shared my vision with them and
howed them that despite the fact that I didn't have thenances I had the know how of the industry."
But nothing comes on a silver platter and she strongly
believes in starting small, not only cause of theexperience you gain as you grow, but cause of the
fulfilment that comes with achieving your set goals
which is more rewarding than anything else. After her
return from the Washington Fellowship in the USA Lulu
came home to nothing. " I literally dropped everything
before leaving, I came back to no job and had to start
from scratch. I was doing stuff for free and searching
high and low for opportunities while at I plotting my next
move." During this trying time Lulu reached out to a
good friend of hers who told her she was in search of ahost for the Pizza hut Pre-launch party. "Before
attending the meeting set to meet the owners of the
brand, I told my mum I was going on a mission to
become their brand ambassador." And so she became.
Lulu started her ‘We Keep Moving’ project by speaking
in schools and churches and today she plans on
creating a foundation based on the same project. The
programme was founded with the aim to inspire and
encourage the youth to break negative cultural patterns
among many other things.She concluded by saying ladies in media should strive
to be more than a presenter and that they should strive
to reach new heights.
And her advice to young ladies
pursuing a career in media?
" is simply to have the passion
for it, it is easy for women inmedia not to be taken seriously
because some of them go into it
wanting to be seen on
television.
" Lulu believes that to work in
media you have to be ready for
the hard work, long hours and
even the backlash. " I have
once been told I was too dark
for a show and that I didn't
have the face or body they
wanted. I have also been told I
was too childish, my voice was
too high and a lot more. You
have to be able to go thick
skin!"

Sibusiso Mabuza, aka Black Buddha, has steadily built a name for himself within the DJ community of Johannesburg within a short space of time since he started in the summer of 2008. Within this time he has playedalongside international DJ's such as Gregor Salto, Nick Holder and Harrison Crump while rocking club dance floorsaround Johannesburg with his infectious love for 'electric sounds' due to the influences of producers such as Avicii,Steve Angello, Afrojack, John Dalhback and all time favourite producer, Axwell. His DJ sets offer a new school
progressive 'big room sound' house/ tech house flowing right down to a more production orientated deeptech/house sound.
He then joined a performance group which wascomprised of two other members and this is wherehe found a passion for performing music for anaudience at night-clubs and pretty much anywherewith a pair of speakers.
During his time within the group, they got to performalongside some of South Africa's greatest such asBlack Coffee and Canadian house producer NickHolder and being exposed to all sorts of electronicmusic, he gained an interest into the productions and
how it is electronically prodFrom this point he startedhis first productions entirely within a computer andwas still living and studying in Johannesburg a fieldwithin audio engineering, after which he felt heneeded to be in South Africa's most creative andartistic city to be fully indulged within the creation of music.
It was in Cape Town that Black Buddha grew a sonicidentity with some relative success after a provincial radio station played one of his singles on a weeklyshow, an electronic production of synth sounds ontop of heavy drums and bass with featured recordingartists. Growing some confidence he began to start
experimenting with the integration of a midi controllerinto the creative process of recording andmanipulating audio and having full access to endlesspossibilities in quest of finding new and unheardmethods of producing music within the digital spaceof a computer.uced.
The sound can be described as an edgy and stab
like electronic synthesized sound with an addition
of heavy drums sounds borrowed from hip-hop,
soul or funk rhythms and a variety of bass sounds
associated with other electronic genre to further
experiment the endless possibilities of composing
music electronically.
Black Buddha is currently focused on his own
production as well working with local artists/producers to expand his knowledge into this
phenomenon that we know as music and is a
member of the Justeez League Of Riches#JLOR.
Black Buddha has recently worked with two
artists on a debut single which climbed the
Hot99Dubstep Chart on YFM to No. 1 in the
summer of 2014. This song proves he has a lot to
offer on a cross genre collaboration and possibly
influencing the music industry in the near future.
Below is a link to the song,
Link:http://www.datafilehost.com/d/6f22c9e4
This growing desire and persistence coupled with
some audio knowledge and recording skills can
be evidence that Black Buddha has a great career
ahead of him and may possibly be on the brink of
