Today is a special day for South Africans as it marks Freedom Day, but an even more special day for the Langas. Rapper Solo is celebrating his birthday and his beautiful wife Dineo has taken to social media to celebrate him. “Bathong!!! Cheers tlhe lona. An ecstatic Mrs Langa shared. “IT'S MY HUSBAND'S @solontsizwa BIRTHDAY.”
Wishing him a happy birthday, Dineo desired more peace and prosperity for Solo.
“Happy birthday munt'wam!!! I love and adore you to no end. May you see God's light shine brighter upon your life. May the smiles you smile grow larger and more joyous. Kunganga izihlwele zingahlala zik'khanyisela futhi zikukhusele Sothole omhle. Grateful to see your new horizons with you, my love.”
It wouldn’t be a birthday without a message from the birthday boy, wouldn’t it? Real name Ntsizwa, Solo took to social media to share a heartfelt letter he penned to himself 18 years ago.
To my 18 year old self:
I'm so glad that you carry an unwavering confidence in you. It is going to be so important for your path. The next 15 years are going to require you to root yourself in your principles.
You are going to meet people from all walks of life. In all of them, lies atleast one lesson. Pay attention as much as possible. Your heart will break. More times than I'd like to admit. All of it will be from love and purpose. You will be a gentleman in most of those moments. Where you fail to be, seek counsel. Your circle will shape your judgment. Mom and Dad are a well of information. I hate to break it to you, but you are not smarter nor wiser than them. Lean on them as much as you can, for as long as you can. You will find a wife, who will convert your moral code from theory to application. She will force you to look within and deal with your shortcomings. She will not allow you to make excuses for not reaching your full potential. Reciprocate this and treasure her. Be a full on creative. Irrespective of applause. This is how you will heal yourself and the people around you. Your big heart is not a weakness, no matter who tries to convince you that it is. Power through all adversity. Work while you are scared. This will sharpen your pen. This will make you proud of you. I am proud of you.
