    The Street Art Project

    It was a Sunday. I had asked fellow writer and photographer Lidudumalingani Mqombothi to accompany me on a mission of early morning, innercity exploration, and he’d obliged. We started our journey in Jeppestown and blitzkrieg’d our way towards Newtown, stopping along the way to inspect stand-out pieces.

    Zakifo 2019: What To Look Forward To

    The last time I attended the multi-day music festival Zakifo was in 2017. The internationally-renowned vibe starter changed location the following year, along with adopting a manageable programme that saw different acts slotted at different venues around the city, allowing for an exploration of the music, and of the lifeline of Duban — its people.…

    #GuestPost | A Note On ‘Mesa

    When days were bright, I watched my father laugh with his contemporaries such as late Famo musician, Ntate Hatlane, in the living room or verandah of the Maseru West house I grew up in.

    #Unreview | Matwetwe: Promotional Ideas

    Matwetwe. Ace shit. Hyper-relatable. Anchored by a front-porch trio steeped tongue-deep in Spitori’s inventive linguistic twists, featuring a hood genius and his bathroom rapper and business mogul-aspirant friend, who mix in and out of the lives of a rolling cast of kasi residents. Their motive? Push trees. The strain? Matwetwe.
