This is a new thing. My mom would walk 5 kilometres from where the taxi dropped her off coming from work.
For 18 years. Not once did she come home drenched on the 1st of September.
What we’re seeing now is new levels of indelelo and, in some cases, outright criminality.
Our society is slowly rotting!
Four months later, the Epstein Files still have vanished from the conversation, as if one of the biggest scandals in American and Israeli politics never happened.
Americans needs ropes and harnesses to stand ontop of a spinning car 😭
Oh King Katra, oh Sam Sam, oh Robin Fortuin... they are trying to be like you but can't....
No DNA, just RSA 🇿🇦

Minister @GaytonMcK, we need to have a serious conversation about the state of South Africa’s arts and entertainment industry.
What is happening?
Our award shows are declining. The entertainment value is declining. Corporate investment seems to be disappearing. And yet South Africa has EVERYTHING it needs to produce world-class entertainment! Haibo we have the talent, creatives, performers, producers, technical skills and technology.
We were supposed to be building an industry capable of becoming Africa’s Hollywood and competing on the global stage.
As someone in the entertainment industry who grew up watching the SAMAs, it’s genuinely disappointing to see where we are today. With the amount of talent in this country, there is simply no reason our biggest productions shouldn’t look and feel world-class.
So where is the investment? Have corporates stopped believing in the industry? Is funding not reaching the people actually creating the work? Where is the money going?
I don’t think we’ve hit rock bottom, but this should be our turning point.
Minister, we need you to step up. Bring government, broadcasters, corporates, artists, producers and creatives to the same table and figure out how we rebuild this industry.
Because the talent is here. The skills are here. The ideas are here.
We need the industry to match them.
And at this point, please establish a Malanga Commission of Inquiry into the entertainment industry because haibo 😭😭😭 something is not connecting. #SAMA32
Ramaphosa said clock it, and our people went crazy. A girl on tiktok commented “clock unemployment rate” and another one asked her, what she expects the president to do with the unemployment rate. I hate that I’m in the same age group as people who hold such sentiments yho .
