It's a travesty we don't have the ability to recreate this because Technicolor can't be replicated anymore.
The Technicolor in Down to Earth (1947) is absolutely breathtaking....

I love that he is getting this attention! He deserved it way back when he was on Tempy Pushas, but later is better than never 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Sdumo Mtshali’s solo billboard 🔥🔥 First time the streaming giant dedicates a solo billboard in Johannesburg’s affluent suburb of Bryanston to an actor by his name not his character’s name. This is HUGE!!! Kudos to Sdumo 👏 #ThePolygamistNetflix #ThePolygamist

I love how it was produced by Africans... Nigeria, South Africa and Zimbabwe. That’s how Africans unite. Not by overlooking borders.

Infact subtitles make me hear better. It’s like they increase the volume or something 😂
As a Black South African I’m always confused when people complain about shows that require subtitles to understand Honey, almost EVERY show that raised me had about 5 languages spoken at once I am a soldier of subtitles I don’t even get distracted from the show itself

I got R50k from NYDA but it took 27 months of sheer fighting, escalations, driving to the offices, using bad language, attending endless rudimentary workshops et al. Entities in the department of small businesses development are there to intentionally frustrate you so you give up
Has anyone here gotten funding for their start up business from IDC, NYDA or NEF?

So his ID was there, they just didn't care enough to get it for him until he did something drastic. Okay.
THE FAMOUS ID APPLICATION HOSTAGE THAT HAPPENED LIVE ON RADIO @Yfm @djsbu 👇🏿 Kabelo Thibedi is a man remembered for his dramatic hostage taking at a government office to obtain his long delayed identity document. On the 30 November 2005 the 21 year old walked into the Department of Home Affairs regional offices in central Johannesburg and held a female staff member Lanelle Small, hostage inside an office for around six hours. Armed only with a toy gun, Thibedi demanded the immediate issuance and delivery of his ID book. His extreme action stemmed from years of deep frustration ,he had waited more than 2 years, submitted 9 unsuccessful applications, and had already lost a job because he lacked the required document. The standoff captured national attention. Radio stations across the country received calls from listeners who expressed strong sympathy for his battle against bureaucratic inefficiency. While barricaded in the office, Thibedi called in the popular youth station YFM and spoke live with DJ Sbu, who suddenly found himself acting as an on air negotiator, trying to calm the young man and warn him of the potential consequences. The broadcast dramatically heightened public awareness, drawing thousands of supportive reactions. To end the crisis Home Affairs officials arranged for Thibedi’s completed ID book to be flown by helicopter from Pretoria to Johannesburg. Once it was handed over, police used stun grenades to storm the room and arrest him. In 2006, he was convicted of kidnapping and sentenced to five years in prison. He later appealed the sentence. In October 2009, the South Gauteng High Court backdated it, allowing him to avoid serving time in actual jail.

Phakama @SueNyathi 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 please someone tell @netflix that there is more work to be put on the screen. I had my #ThePolygamist crash out back in 2012 when I read the book so this time my emotions are more controlled.

The fact that this has been organic mouth-to-mouth marketing makes this more impressive. I didn’t see any influencer campaigns, it was basically people on my WhatsApp and on here posting about it that made me curious to watch it.
#ThePolygamist is currently ranked as the 6th biggest TV show globally on @netflix. 👏🏾 The show is sitting at #1 in Jamaica, Nigeria, Kenya , Bahamas, Romania and Trinidad & Tobago .

Other Top 10 rankings include: 🇵🇹 Portugal (#3) 🇬🇧 UK (#6) 🇺🇸 USA (#8) 🇨🇦 Canada (#7) 🇪🇸 Spain (#7) 🇩🇪 Germany (#7) 🇳🇱 Netherlands (#7)
