Maftown Heights: Untold Stories Documentary

Remember that incredible era of SA hip hop? When every township and city had its own crew putting their flavour on the scene? Mahikeng was no exception – Morafe, Mo Molemi, HHP, Fifi Cooper – these artists released music that defined a generation. Their energy even inspired the creation of Maftown Heights, a concert series, or rather a movement that originally started in Johannesburg but later moved to Mahikeng to celebrate these local legends. It was a beautiful moment for South African hip hop, showcasing the power of homegrown talent.

Last night had the opportunity to attend a special screening of the “Maftown Heights: …

When The Filter Fades – Book Review

We’re still taking a break from self-help books, and the second novel this year is “When the Filter Fades” by Janine Jellars. This book delves into the world of social media fame, where curated realities reign supreme. Or do they? The story follows three ambitious women in Johannesburg, all vying for a piece of the influencer pie. In a world where the moral compass is compromised for fame and fortune, the three characters Lin, Lebo and Mbali take us through their worlds, not without twists and turns.

Without giving away too much here is what I enjoyed about the book.

Happy World Radio Day 2024

Today marks 100 years of radio under the theme “Radio: A century informing, entertaining and educating”.

I have the honour and the privilege of hosting POWER Experience on POWER 98.7, every Saturday from 2-6pm. When I took on the role as a host of POWER Experience, I was given two clear objectives. The first was to attract a younger audience, and the second was to enjoy what I do, which, frankly, was the easy part. Hosting the show for four hours is an absolute pleasure for me, and I eagerly anticipate every moment.

If you still haven’t listened to the show, where have …

The Sex Lives of African Women – Book Review

In January, I embark on my annual tradition of immersing myself in books that deviate from the typical “new year, new me” narrative. After last year’s fascination was with Will Smith’s autobiography, this year I chose to explore “The Sex Lives of African Women” by Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah, a book that had piqued my curiosity for some time. Contrary to my initial expectations. Within the first few pages of the book, I realized that what I was expecting from the book vs. the actual book was worlds apart, in an interesting way.

“The Sex Lives of African Women” by Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah is a …

Lessons from the Springboks

What an extraordinary moment to be alive in South Africa, reminiscent of the 2010 soccer World Cup with fond memories of our mascot, Zakumi and the vuvuzelas. Although our soccer journey was cut short back then, the excitement and unity we experienced remain etched in our hearts. The recent triumph of the Springboks couldn’t have come at a better time for a nation grappling with its fair share of challenges, often lightened by our unique sense of humor in the face of financial hardships. With taxes and salaries that don’t always align, we still find reasons to smile. Instead of dwelling on our struggles, let’s …
