 Reason Why Nonalthema Quits Alcohol First off congratulations to Nonalthema are in order. Giving up alcohol is a huge feat and should never be taken lightly. Of course, our congratulations would stop there if she didn't drag everyone else into it. Nonalthema, former South African sweetheart, has been without alcohol for a year. To that we say we love babes who are health conscious and doing the most to take care of their well-being. But, unfortunately all good things have to come to an end. Our short-lived congratulations paused abruptly when she said Mandela didn't go to jail for 27 years for us to be drunkards. It's all good and dandy to celebrate, but singe nappy? Mandela fought for the rights of many of black people to own their agency. So, if a bond to want to have a young glass every now and then, then hey, it's freedom that was fought for. We're still proud of you babes, keep flying the flag high. Always choose health and don't judge those who haven't arrived to that choice yet.
