The DESTINY Forum
This post is, simply, a shameless plug for an experience that does not require a plug, namely The DESTINY Forum which is taking place on July 23rd. One of the joys of working for a magazine is the opportunity to interact with interesting and influential people in various sectors of South Africa....
Video for Proverb’s Writers’ Club
He may have started in the entertainment industry as a rapper but, over the years, he has built on each of his accomplishments and reached for new spaces. Once simply an emcee, now Proverb flits effortlessly between platforms – including television, radio and live events – whether it is hosting...
Taking Blog Post Requests
The whole blogging thing is a minefield. I often question whether what I add to ether is adding value or simply adding to the incessant noise. I started my first one around 2005 and focused on the happenings in the poetry scene, which I was very involved with then. I shared random thoughts and did...
Playing With Mini JCW Roadster
I love beautiful cars but, in all honesty, I was never the guy who understood all the intricacies. I've driven a lot of cars, clocking crazy kilometres on a daily basis, but couldn't tell you much about things like kilowatts. I've always been more about how comfortable it feels, how much I enjoy...

Aloe Blacc – Billie Jean Cover
Egbert Nathaniel Dawkins III, known as Aloe Blacc, exists on the fringes of the mainstream music industry. If it wasn't for the friend of a friend passing on a copy of his 2010 album Good Things, he would probably wouldn't have registered on my radar. The song he is most known for is I Need A...
