I met @kasiflavour10 a few years ago and was struck by his rare ability to make old-school football culture feel current again—rooted in township memory, not nostalgia-for-sale.

That sensibility runs deep. His father is the legendary Shakes Kungoane. He's the real deal.

We spoke about the ongoing debate about Kasi Flavor versus Old School brands.

It was a long overdue conversation as I was genuinely unsettled when I walked into an “old school” shop in Sandton and, for a moment, thought I was in his store. The aesthetic. The merchandise. The storytelling. It felt unmistakably his lane—until I realised it wasn’t.

Of course noone owns football.

But storytelling has authorship. There's no mistaking Kabelo's imprint in the category.

I hope the Advertising Regulatory Board (ARB) looks into this—and that the township market, especially young consumers, votes with its heart and conscience, not just price and proximity.

Support the originators. Not just the amplifiers with deep pockets. That's the only way we are going to incentivize the youth to create and alleviate unemployment.

📺When We Were Black (2006)

A seminal moment in South African television.

Emerging in the early years of post-apartheid broadcasting, the series reopened the psychic and political wounds of black life under apartheid, using the intimacy of television to re-stage a national trauma.

This scene captures the essence of what the show set out to do to make visible the quiet violences of apartheid that lived in the body, the home, the street.

It’s not an act of physical brutality that shocks us here, but the psychic one the destruction of dignity, the forced performance of inferiority, the way the state choreographed humiliation as a means of control.

To me the humiliation of Fisto’s father becomes a meditation on Black masculinity. Under apartheid, manhood was systematically stripped of authority and autonomy.

In this scene, the father’s forced “dance” becomes a metaphor for survival under surveillance how Black men had to contort themselves to stay alive, even as they lost face in front of their children. Yet in showing that collapse, the series dignifies it naming the pain that shaped generations of fathers and sons.

Nearly twenty years later, the scene still lands like a gut punch.

so, i wrote a love letter to the city that introduced me to art & culture: Pitori 💌. it was judiciously tested in a university where i got a ✨distinction✨ for it. The love letter looks at #Amapiano vis-á-vis #Sepitori’s sociolinguistics as para-artistic & curatorial practices.
