Cape Town's only magical arts non-profit organisation, the College of Magic, is proud to announce the appointment of the esteemed Daniel Galloway as its new interim CEO.

Cape Town City Ballet proudly presents the South African premiere of Mthuthuzeli November's Olivier Award-winning Ingoma as part of its Autumn Season at Artscape. 

"In structural terms, the novel is fairly complex, with all these story strands travelling at different paces – even different directions – through the book, interleaved with each other. Juggling so many different elements can be tricky, but generally speaking Lawrence manages to keep all his balls in the air, which is impressive."

"Besides, our youth in schools cannot read only about love and witchcraft from those old books written by old authors. We must start passing fresh information on to them by writing about the problems and concerns of today."

"I thoroughly enjoyed reading Shaping Addo. Reardon writes both knowledgeably and entertainingly about the history of the park as well as its current endeavours."

"It is a sad moment for South Africans." Freek Robinson interviews William Gumede, Associate Professor, School of Governance at the University of the Witwatersrand and executive chairperson of Democracy Works Foundation.

"I didn’t set out to be so honest, particularly about my childhood. I was going to write a short grief memoir, but the more I wrote, the more I understood that one’s childhood plays a role in how we grieve, that how we deal with loss as adults is connected to how we face loss as children, and so I went down that road, open to exploring my childhood." 

"As Kaang and Kuyper witness each other’s departure to wherever, the penny drops. Proximity, no matter how uncomfortable, is perhaps South Africa’s only remedy."

"But beyond the good that this means for visually impaired readers and the South African publishing industry, the collection’s poems are worth their own engagement. To me, the poems’ most interesting elements come from their portrayal of various humans’ attempts to relate to one another earnestly."

"Though culture is ingrained in us and forms a big part of how we shape and see our world, it is learned, and therefore we can unlearn the parts of our culture that no longer serve us, or the parts of it that do not do the planet any good."

"Even today, 27 years later, it is still hard to find a vaccine against the virus of racism, because of those many daily new variants."

"The two scientists have a different kind of power over the major and staff sergeant. They are the ones documenting the journey and can therefore decide when to stop filming and when to start again."

"To those who have not seen the film, allow yourself to experience this Afrikaans catalyst project. Leave your Hollywood notions of films and filmmaking at the door, and give this unique film a chance to challenge your outlook on life."

"The audience must confront the uncomfortable realisation that our Western ideas of civilisation, progress and superiority are fundamentally outdated."

"The film as a whole grapples with the concept of invasion. Set against the backdrop of the Americans attempting to invade the moon and the Russians apparently attempting to invade the world with communism, the arrival of the foreign object onto the farm seems dangerously intrusive."

"Dr Smith will be unable to provide proof of her misleading claim that the department’s doors have been shut as the misleading headline of her letter suggests. At the time of the University of Fort Hare authoring this response, no decision has been taken by the senate."

"Careful combinations of cinematic elements carry a weighty topic with an aesthetically pleasing backdrop – a masterfully executed film for fans of indie productions and for those who are undaunted by the truth."
