    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.

    #Satire | “It was a missed opportunity”  – #MenAreTrash Denialist

    “I mean, we could’ve changed the game mate, innit,” says a distressed Thembalamagumsha Khuzwayo a day after the world-renowned hashtag, which has been attributed to Twitter User @kwamsunu_000, was included in the latest edition of the Oxford English dictionary.

    #GuestPost | Album Review: 199x By Dallas T

    So I had time to ear T.U.R.K’s 199x project. Great initiative. He decided to settle for a more mature, neo-melodic, soulful-yet-friendly, boom-bap sound with conscious raps and a dash of trap-soul, accompanied by factual, as opposed to fictitious, verses. His script resonates; it stretches from real life experiences, to his personal baggage — well, romantic […]

    In today’s episode of what the fuck Internet?!, a man’s wits were caught unfurling by a by-stander’s phone, who snappily upsailed the indignant material to Facebook.

    People who’ve no frigging clue how these innercity Jozi streets operate act all forms of shook when their outsider asses encounter even the slightest of discomforts. Such was the case with Herman Mashaba when he decided to take a stroll and catch a vibe in the Summer heat. The Johannesburg mayor, creator of Black Like […]
