Expensive Food for Thought

Portraits of San women, 1874/1910.

Have you tuned into the @AfriRenPodcast yet? We kicked off the month with John Kani in a thought-provoking conversation on the arts, Hollywood, and the future of African storytelling. It was a fitting start to what promises to be a month dedicated to culture, creativity, and the enduring power of our stories. As we continue the celebrations, we invite you to join us for a special commemorative concert honouring Tiyo Soga, while also celebrating the 84th birthday of our patron, President Thabo Mbeki. Get your tickets and be part of an evening that celebrates our heritage, our music, and the rich legacy of African thought and expression: webtickets.co.za/v2/event.as…

My grootman @iamfreetsm and I usually have an annual ritual of movie marathons around this time of year, for a day. This is the only time I get to watch more than one movie in a short space of time. I’m tempted to start tonight.

Notwithstanding rife and emboldened racism in South Africa today, one of the enormous challenges facing the post apartheid nation is to get Black people to understand and appreciate the dignity of other Black people. If you insist, we can call it 'Black on Black Respect'
