As we enter the final quarter of the year, most of us start feeling the year-end crunch. Crunch time on budgets, time, scheduling, inventory, and ideas.

What a rich, colourful, beautiful, and inspiring weekend. As a nation, South Africans have always had “gees”. We are, after all, the home of the vuvuzela, biltong, the makarapa, and umqombothi. Give us an opportunity, and we’ll place the SA flag on the side mirrors of a car, or wear it triumphantly after winning a

“And we’re baaaaaaack!” You may be forgiven if you thought I was talking about load shedding, because this too is back, but earlier in the week I heard a familiar voice, and it wasn’t Harold, from Harold’s Relationship Hotline. It was the much loved Buddy, the talking dog that has made his way into several

Last week I spotted an article that made mention that there were 100 days before Christmas. It feels like a few weeks back that I removed Boney M and Michael Bublé from my phone and now it seems like I need to start looking for the Little Drummer Boy and an endless list of gifts! Whilst listening

I found myself on a website that tracks the migration of Swallows between South Africa and the United Kingdom, a journey that happens twice a year, and was struck by the seasons and their effect on the world.

From powerbanks, to generators, solar panels to invertors, we’ve all found ourselves looking at an app (on a hopefully fully charged cellphone), trying to work out what stage we’re in. It would seem though that “mid-life crisis” isn’t a stage that anyone is talking about currently, as we navigate our way between 2, 4 and

At the beginning of June we discussed the internship journey that many young graduates embark on post their studies. One of the key factors that resonated in Part 1 of Internships, from Investment to Improvement, was the “can do” attitude that graduates need when applying for an internship programme.

Internships, from Investment to Improvement. There’s a certain magic and alure to working in the media, those of us who’ve been attracted by the pull find it hard to explain what the “magic” is.
