I Have My Own Opinion About this topic. When I Look At GBV To Me It’s Not Men Vs Women. To Me It’s A Power Struggle. Power Is At The Centre Of All Violence. Power Affects Everyone The Same Way. Men Do To Women What Women Do To Children. People Without Power Will Always Be The Victims Of Those With Power. The Main Issue Is Power.

The Red Bull Symphonic Kabza De Small event: Amapiano Meets Classical Music in Groundbreaking Red Bull Symphonic Show Johannesburg is set to host an unprecedented fusion of musical genres on June 8th, 2024 when Red Bull Symphonic Kabza De Small with Ofentse Pitse and the Symphonic Orchestra takes the stage at the Lyric Theatre. This first-of-its-kind performance will see Amapiano star Kabza De Small's iconic tracks reimagined by a full symphonic orchestra under the baton of conductor Ofentse Pitse. The show promises to blend the infectious rhythms and melodies of Amapiano, a modern house music style rooted in South African townships, with the grandeur of classical orchestration. Hit songs like "Khusela," "Imithandazo" and more will receive majestic symphonic arrangements performed by a 33-piece orchestra and 8-person choir. "It's really crazy, the thought of it all," said Kabza De Small. "But many of my songs focus on vocals, and a lot of Amapiano is very instrumental so I think people will be familiar with it. Amapiano is taking over the world, and through collaborations like this, who knows how much further we could push the genre?" Conductor Ofentse Pitse expressed excitement about bringing together these disparate musical worlds on South African soil. "The clash of two worlds between Amapiano and Classical music will create an electrifying atmosphere in which anything is possible," she stated. "It's about breaking away from conventional limits and enabling the music to grow into something truly exceptional." In addition to Kabza De Small's thrilling performance with the orchestra, the two-hour Red Bull Symphonic show will feature guest artists adding to the extraordinary musical fusion experience. Tickets for this must-see genre-blending event are available now from R250 at Computicket.

There are so many songs that have attained Global Success and majority of y'all would sing and dance to them but understand nothing being said: Gangnam Style, Despacito, Premier Gaou, Neria..

Mzansi Magic presents Code 13, a race to capture dangerous escaped convicts. Starring Zolisa Xaluva & Lunathi Mampofu Crime, corruption, and betrayal of the highest level are set to be the driving themes for Mzansi Magic’s new drama series Code 13, premiering on Sunday 14 April. Set in the gritty heart of Joburg, Code 13 follows the story of Bheki Ndlovu played by Zolisa Xaluva a no-nonsense Jozi detective with a knack for connecting the dots and solving complex cases. Together with a hard-edged police unit, he is tasked with recapturing six of the city's most dangerous criminals who escaped while in custody from a police van. However, this already challenging case presents him with hurdle after hurdle at every turn as his efforts reveal a web of corruption, betrayal, and secrets at the very top. Moreover, Bheki’s work life is not the only one that seems to be ‘adventure-packed’, but his personal life plays a significant role as he tries to balance the two, especially when his love interest turns out to be a colleague. The series, produced by Seriti Films also stars Lunathi Mampofu as Bongi Nkosi, a police detective, and Bheki’s love interest, Aluve Mjali as Marcus ‘Mamba’ Moagi as a highly skilled hacker, and Primo Baloyi as Veli ‘Veja’ Mohalanyane who is deeply connected to the community which makes him a reliable informant. Other cast members who will star in the series include Zikhona Bali as Azania, Saint Seseli as Patrick, and Thami Mngqolo as Dr Pitso. The big question is: Can Bheki trust his team of over-qualified and egotistical law enforcers to recapture this group of dangerous escapees and expose a web of corruption that reaches the highest levels of power before the city descends into irreversible chaos? To get all the answers and to see how it all unfolds, tune in to Code 13 premiering Sunday 14 April at 8 pm on Mzansi Magic Channel 161.

The significance of mental well-being in the entertainment industry In today’s fast-paced world, it’s common to experience moments of stress and anxiety in the entertainment industry whether it’s due to work deadlines, dealing with artists, or the media. The feelings of unease can impact our well-being by incorporating relaxation techniques into our daily routines to better manage anxiety and cultivate a sense of calmness. One of the primary factors contributing to mental health challenges in the entertainment industry is the content pursuit of perfection. Whether it’s actors striving for flawless performances, musicians chasing chart-topping hits, or filmmakers seeking critical credit. The relentless pursuit of success can fuel anxiety, self-doubt, and disagreements Artists need to invest their time by paying attention to the present moment without judgment and taking a few minutes each day to engage in mindfulness exercises given by Mathew in the mental health workshop hosted by American Corner such as deep breathing, meditation, or mindful walking. These practices can help quiet the mind and reduce feelings of anxiety. By self-care having open dialog can create a more inclusive and supportive environment to prioritize mental health and thrive personally and in the working space.

The rhythmic heartbeat of Mzansi's breaking scene intensifies as the world awaits South Africa’s champions.

Red Bull BC One, in collaboration with Slaying Goliath, presents illustrations of the top 20 finalists. Slaying Goliath has commissioned artwork to celebrate Red Bull BC One, recognizing the significant role that art and graffiti have played in the breaking scene. The winners and recipients of wild cards from the regional cyphers held throughout South Africa between January 27 and February 10 make up the top 20 finalists. With their amazing power moves, footwork, and stunts, these b-boys and b-girls have proved to the best in the game.
