@Anele Zactly! We'll pay you three rand fifty but expect you to only work for us. Nah, fam...

[Pamela Power @pamelapower]

@Anele I feel sad that it's closing. Not sure why...cause I've also not met anyone from the school. Although I did know someone who taught there years ago...

What a journey 💚💛

From the U20 Rugby Championship, the U20 International Series and defending our Junior World Championship crown, this team never stopped believing, growing, and fighting for one another.

The #JuniorBoks embraced every challenge that came their way.

To everyone who backed us every step of the way – thank you. Your support means everything 🇿🇦

CREATIVE CONFLICT
-regulating the arts in South Africa-

Why are actors and other creative artists in South Africa not as regulated by labor laws as most of the rest of us? What extent of regulation is necessary, and in the best interests of this troubled, essential industry?

My article, due for publication early next week, looks at these challenges through a conflict resolution lens

WORTH THE WATCH:

Looking for something fun, exciting and good to watch?

Well this comedy crime caper starring Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham (loved her on Ted Lasso) is just what you need.

8 episodes, I'm only on the second one and hooked.

Think Thelma & Louise but funny, clever and lots of action!

[Pamela Power @pamelapower]

@PhilMphela Watched the first ep. It's great.

[Spyder Dobrofsky @spyderdobro]

I don't know anything more than anyone else about how to make it in this tough movie industry. What I do try to do, is keep making stuff. Even when nobody's watching. Even when I don't know where I'm going to get the financing. Or how I'm going to sell it. Invest in creation.
