I tell African stories on film and television. I won't always tweet in English... don't expect translations, don't ask for them. [email protected]

Most of my career was spent on brands that had customers. If they didn't like what they saw, they could switch.

A public broadcaster has citizens. They don't just use it, they own it.

In an ordinary month, more than 28 million adults watch SABC television. In an ordinary week, close to 27 million listen to our 19 radio stations. More than 3 million are registered on SABC+. That's before anything out of the ordinary happens.

National moments like Local Government Elections are when the country leans on us even more, and when everyone has a view on how it should be done. That scrutiny comes with ownership. It holds us to a higher standard, and it should.

It's the most visible work in my 20 years, and the closest to people's daily lives.

To every journalist, producer, technician, presenter and communicator who carried this coverage: thank you. This is the public service media mandate in practice.

Wendy Mseleku (1973 – 2000) was a highly celebrated South African singer and actress. Affectionately nicknamed "Powerhouse" for her remarkably commanding vocals, she made significant waves in the late 1990s as a prominent solo artist and collaborative backing vocalist. Born in Lamontville, Durban, she came from an esteemed musical family. Her father, Langa Mseleku, was deeply involved in music, and her uncle, Bheki Mseleku, was an internationally acclaimed jazz pianist. She was discovered and trained by the famous playwright Mbongeni Ngema, which led to her featured role in the iconic 1992 musical drama film Sarafina!. Her career was launched commercially by composer Shaluza Max. She released her debut album, Umgenandlini, followed by her second album, All in One. She received heavy radio airplay for her popular cover of Brenda Fassie's "Life is Going On". She was an early member of the powerhouse gospel ensembles Family Factory and Joyous Celebration. Additionally, she lent her backing vocals to international icons such as Billy Ocean and Angélique Kidjo, and teamed up with Bob Mabena and Doctor Khumalo on the track "Get Funky

The Queer Festival may be over, but #SHOCKWAVE isn't 🏳️‍🌈

Larry has nowhere to live except with a deeply religious widow, and he can't be himself in her home.

Come and see what that costs him.

🔌 Wednesday is half price 🎁

Blood Legacy captures Durban so well. Seriously Single does the same with Johannesburg and Cape Town!

I can’t wait to see this kind of cine for Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Nothern Cape USPs.

Yesterday I walked downtown Jozi and enjoyed a terrific new play, Shockwave @MarketTheatre.
It's a compact and captivating history lesson on living live and resisting bigotry in South Africa under the haunting shadow of empire, apartheid violence and Christian fundamentalism. I highly recommend it. Salutes!👌
