Breathwork with Dr Ela Manga on Kaya FM

Feb 18, 2019 | ,

A couple of months ago, I had Dr Ela Manga on my Kaya FM show, #LifeWithKojoBaffoeto chat about herself, her career, and the establishment of Breathwork Africa. Initially trained as a medical doctor, life experiences and the challenges of her patients led her to the world of integrative medicine, energy management and breathwork.  The reality is that, with the increasing demands on our time, our attention, our bodies and our minds, many of us are struggling to keep things together. And are not operating optimally, whether physically, spiritually or mentally. We are living in an ‘always on’...

For The Love Of A Good Cigar

Jun 3, 2018 |

Being a cigar enthusiast, I have been exploring the landscape more and more over the last couple of years. Towards end of 2017, I wrote an article for Afropolitan magazine on my favourite cigar lounge, Pedro Portia, and what I have been learning about cigars. I also broadcast my Kaya FM show, Life With Kojo Baffoe, at Pedro Portia. In the interests of sharing more of the content I create for magazines and other spaces, I am going to be posting my past articles and the like on here regularly. Cigar 101 The soundtrack to our lives can sound like the buzzing of a mosquito on a hot summer’s...

Playing with the Acer Spin 7

Jul 13, 2017 | ,

I have been writing about technology for some years now – granted, not as much in the last couple – but one of the challenges I have always had is the jargon. My approach to most products, experiences, etc. is generally based on two things, namely functionality and aesthetic/design. The reality is that I do not consider myself an expert on anything so to write about anything as the ‘final authority’ feels uncomfortable. Plus, a lot of things are subjective, opinions formed on the basis of our own experience, understanding, interests, etc. For these reasons, and more, I have always tried to...

Guest Host On Cliff Central

Nov 5, 2014 | ,

Radio continues to be a primary media platform in South Africa, and across the continent, probably more so than the print media, whether magazine or newspaper. I have been tempted to dabble in the space over the years and had illusions of being a radio producer many moons ago. I have had ample opportunity to be on the mic as a guest in my various guises from poetry to working at Destiny Man. And then, a couple of months back, Thabo “T-Bose” Mokwele asked me to guest host his show on Kaya FM while he was away on holiday. Having worked in and around the media and entertainment spaces, I have...

Standing In For The Best T On Radio

May 19, 2014 |

In 1994, during my final year of university, I decided that I wanted to try my hand at radio. I duly signed up to participate in campus radio and, on my first time on air, where I was to read out updates on election results, I stumbled over a random number so badly that they had to switch to music. For some reason, in that moment, I didn’t know how to say ‘a hundred and x thousand’… That was the last time I ever tried radio. About ten years later, spending time with Thabo “T-Bose” Mokwele when he was on Metro FM, I toyed with this idea of getting into radio properly again. Thabo was to help...
