I have always wanted to create a space where creatives can just come and talk about their work — nothing about their personal lives, but just the work and what drives them.
I tried it on my own with The Entertainment Alert but my resources ran out and I had to pause that dream, then I knocked on doors and @TikTok_SA opened one.
I introduce to you, TikTok's first official Vodcast... #AfricanAllStars with Phil Mphela.
NEW SHOW:
"African All Stars with Phil Mphela"
I've collaborated with TikTok to spotlight the continent's brightest stars in the world of content creation.
Join me every week as I chat to content creators and creatives who are using the platform to build careers.
We chat about careers, monetization, wins, losses but ultimately it's about getting to know them, what they do, how they do it and what's their goals.
See the show on TikTok: @tiktok_sa and my page @kgopolo_mphela

Great discussion with TikTok’s Fortune Sibanda (Head of Gvt relations and Public Policy) & Keagile Makgoba (Head of Comms) on unlocking opportunities for Kenyan creators!
We tackled monetization, MPESA integration & training programs to boost the digital economy. Also reviewed past agreements to strengthen collaboration.
Wishing TikTok success at the #TikTokAfricaSummit in Cape Town later this month. @pthigo@ndayvid
The digital world is now central to learning, engagement, and socializing, and we all share the responsibility to make it safe.
Last week, we proudly partnered with @tiktok and @NITDANigeria to launch the second phase of the #SaferTogether Campaign through the Online Safety and Digital Awareness Workshop held in Lagos and Abuja.
About 1,000 parents, teachers, and guardians participated, gaining practical tools to detect and combat fake news, cyberbullying, and sexting while fostering digital citizenship and protecting children online.
At @dsn_ai_network, our mission is to create a safe digital environment where children can harness cutting-edge tools to learn and thrive without fear or exposure to harmful content. Together, we’re shaping a safer digital future!
