Last night an exhibition changed my life......


I recently had the honour of attending the opening of the Diffusion or Fusion exhibition, which was held at Galerie Noko on 27 June 2017. The pieces on display were accurate observations of today's society. The images ranged from political to domestic statements.


The experience opened my eyes to the wonderful world of art. Prior to attending the opening of this specific exhibition, I had been to a few exhibitions, but this encounter with the art world left a lasting impression which would stay with me for a very long time.


The reason I say attending the exhibition influenced my point of view is because it re-introduced me to the world of the creative. The amount of time and effort that creatives put in their work is proof of their passion for their craft. We should all learn to appreciate and motivate the creatives that are amongst us, as this would lead to a better society than the one that we currently live in.


I strongly urge you to attend art exhibitions when you can as the experience will really change your point of view and possibly introduce you to a medium that you could build a lasting relationship with.

Can a reality show thrive without the drama?

  The fabulous ladies of 'The Mommy Club: Sugar & Spice ' have proven you can have the sweetness and the sass. Image source: X (@NowInSa) It can be said that the ultimate ingredient to every reality show is drama but is The Mommy Club: Sugar and Spice proving that wrong? In a perfect world when asked ‘Why do you watch reality television shows’ we might be quick to say we watch those shows because of the insights into the different lives and cultures of the cast members and so forth but if we are honest, it is the ongoing drama and conflict that has us tuning in to every episode of that specific shows. The reality show that is changing it all These reality shows such as The Real Housewives  franchises, The Mommy Club franchise, Big Brother  etc. are what we call our guilty pleasures. There is a new debate of whether reality tv can educate without the mess of drama, which was brought forward by one of these shows, The Mommy Club: Sugar & Spice which is ...

Roundup: ‘Blood Legacy’

The latest release from Gambit Productions ‘Blood Legacy’ has just rightfully earned its spot on the list of the productions that have set the bar amongst this year’s releases with its stellar cast and quality production aesthetic that has had South Africa buzzing with excitement. You know those goosebumps you feel after watching a trailer for an upcoming Netflix or Showmax release, that is what I felt after I watched the trailer for Blood Legacy for the first time. The show which is set in Durban lived up to the standards that were set by the trailer. A great cast is the key ingredient The first aspect of the show that grabs your attention when you watch the first episode is the amazing casting. The combination of the legendary, veteran and the up-and-coming actors that we are lucky to have here in South Africa can be found on the show.   The legendary would be the late Connie Chiume and Sello Maake Ka-Ncube, the veterans would be Xolile Tshabalala, Pallance Dladla, Enhle...

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Love Story is coming......

So Shondaland and Netflix have finally decided to release the trailer for the much anticipated Bridgerton prequel revolving around the origins of one of the show’s beloved character, Queen Charlotte and her marriage with King George. The trailer for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Love Story gave all the titilating snippets that one could have asked for as we see how the king and queen met (which was through an arranged marriage). We also get to see the turbulent times during the royal marriage as Charlotte had to adjust to the English court as she was originally from Germany and their crowning. The statement from the studio and streaming service did state that Lady Bridgerton and Lady Danbury will also be included in the show. The trailer does show a younger Lady Danbury (excellent casting btw) however we do not get a glimpse of Lady Bridgerton. I will definitely be watching when the show premieres on Netflix on 4 May. Check out the trailer below
