"📽🎶 After Robot: Kwaito Music in Johannesburg (2002) Every now and again I return to this short doccie and each time Im struck by just how much the artists of the early 2000s carved out new ways of being. It reminds me of how kwaito musicians forged powerful and diverse cultural identities even while facing systemic barriers in the music industry and a social climate that wasnt always receptive to the new wave"

"🎼 Remember Devante (1995-1999) That R&B boy band from Newlands East Durban one of those small but memorable acts that emerged during South Africas quietly golden age of R&B in the late 90s and early 2000s. The tragedy is that the market was too small But culturally those pockets of R&B were doing something remarkable a creation of African pop modernities imo the way artists used global Black soundscapes to craft new lanes in SA. A reminder of how our music once held small but radical possibilities for who we could be"

"🎥Murder in Paris (2021) Traces the motives for the assassination of anti-apartheid activist Dulcie September. At the end of 1983 she was appointed to lead the African National Congress (ANC) office in Paris following President Franois Mitterrands decision to allow the liberation movement to establish a presence in France. In this role which she held until her death in 1988 she became a powerful voice for the anti-apartheid struggle organising awareness campaigns engaging with French civil society and travelling across the country to speak about the daily realities of Black South Africans"

"📺 Isidingo: Nandipha Sithole (2000-2011) Part of a deliberate SABC public health strategy South African television audiences were introduced to one of the most quietly revolutionary characters on our screens: Nandipha Sithole. Portrayed by the talented Hlubi Arnold she became one of the few characters in mainstream South African TV who openly lived with HIV at a time when stigma was not just social but deeply political. This was a critical cultural moment. South Africa was in the throes of the HIV/AIDS crisis statistics were staggering myths and misinformation rampant. For black women"

"Unfortunately theres no justice in producing classic/legacy creative work without material equity especially at that level. We have seen what that has done to the actors in South Africa. Cultural resistance is important when dealing with exploitative creative industries that disguise exploitation as empowerment"

"📺 Vuzu : Top Shayela (2011) TS walked so that vlog culture could run. Early blueprints for the attention economy where visibility itself becomes a form of currency. The show rehearsed what we now recognise as the vlog vernacular: aspirational intimacy para-social bonds and prosumer (producer-consumer) culture. It was a starter pack for influencer-era storytelling format migration from TV to timeline"

"📺SABC News (1994)#FeesMustFall Protests at Pentech (now CPUT) and Vista University (now NMU) over fees and student living conditions. Proof that South African students have always spoken up long before hashtags. What we saw during #FeesMustFall was part of a much older story of youth activism class struggle and the demand for dignity in education"

"📺 Today in History: CBS Archive (1985) On XX October 1985 in Athlone Cape Town members of the apartheid security forces shot and killed three young people during anti-government protests. This tragedy became known as the Trojan Horse Massacre Local media at the time was so heavily censored that reports barely reflected the horror of what happened. Entire truths were silenced and many of the regimes crimes were buried or erased from public view"

"📺 AP Archive: Ja Rule Presser (2003) Ja Rules South African tour and the politics of global hip-hop recognition local artists were denied backstage access hustled into a shared dressing room and swiftly removed after performing. This wasnt just poor event management it was a cultural moment that revealed how global music economies often work. The incident captures a larger cultural anxiety of the early 2000s what it meant to be local in a world where globalisation was sold as the ultimate validation. In that moment South African hip-hop learned something about the global stage that inclusion"
