Halfway through 2026 & the movie ‘Laundry’ by Zamo Mkhwanazi is still on my mind. Just witnessed the theatre play ‘Rise '76’ & left deeply moved. Next up is Tebogo Malope’s much anticipated film ‘Studying Under the Barrel of a Gun’. A strong year for bold, unforgettable work.

Dating someone because their economical hardship makes them vulnerable and easy for you to have sex with them makes you a predator. We tweet among interesting people.

People telling the art director from Obsession “too bad, that’s what you signed up for” instead of collectively encouraging that once small budget films reach a certain number all cast and crew receive a bonus, is why we’ll never be free.

Cape Town is a South African city and belongs to Black South Africans as much as Nelspruit, Johannesburg and Mafikeng. Please stop referring it to as mini Europe. Not even as a joke.

Wanting South Africa to have a secure border doesn’t make you Xenophobic.
