Swaziland‘s biggest music festival, MTN Bushfire, has always had an interesting array of artists on its line up. And with each year I’ve always wanted to attend but, for some reason, something always crops up to veer me away from my plans. Although I liked the previous set of artists announced for the festival to take place at Malkerns Valley in May, especially Adam Glasser’s Mzansi project, featuring vocalist Pinise Saul and guitarist... 

Writing something here has been on my mind since I learned of the tragic news of the passing of Whitney Elizabeth Houston on the eve of the Grammys. I hadn’t had a chance to, but as they say, better late than never. Whitney Houston in her younger days. Now, everyone who is on my BBM contact list or follows me on Twitter and Facebook will tell you how much sadness I expressed on that fateful morning when I learned about this. That very same... 

TITLE: This Means War RELEASE DATE: 24 February 2012 CAST: Tom Hardy, Chris Pine, Reese Witherspoon, Angela Bassett DIRECTOR: McG CLASSIFICATION: 13 – M L S V RUNNING TIME: 97 minutes This Means War is outstanding on its premise, but fails to deliver when it comes to relaying the nitty gritty. With that said, and putting the technicalities aside, the movie surprisingly turned out to be fun. Withing the first 15 minutes of the film... 

Do you remember what I wrote on the last write up I published about this year’s line-up at the Cape Town International Jazz Festival? If you don’t remember or didn’t read, I mentioned that the artists featured on Africa’s Grandest Gathering this year just didn’t jump at me like the previous years. Guess what? News have just come in that none other than Philly‘s Queen of neo-soul, Jill Scott, and rap legend Pharoahe...

Khethani Nengovhela, co-owner of Tasker Communications, is celebrating her birthday in style this Saturday, 25 February 2012, at Cafe Culture in Fourways.

Following the editor of DESTINY Man, Kojo Baffoe, on Twitter has allowed me to be privy to a lot that happens at the publication and Ndalo Media in general. One such privilege has been the knowledge about magazine’s occasional event dubbed Power Dinner, even though I’ve never attended one yet. The great news is that Power Dinner is coming to Durban this month. And I may finally get to attend. You can easily be part of the event too. Please... 

Joëlle Kayembe is going to be all over our screens. At least for the next few months. Men all over the world, get ready for an eye feast. An eye candy that has left many of us panting every time her exotic beauty flashed across our screens or splashed across our magazines. They always call us dogs anyway. Ladies too, you are about to be inspired by the beautiful Congolese native. Just the other day I was over the moon celebrating the announcement... 

Usher to wow the crowds at Orlando Stadium next month. If you were distraught after it was announced that the golden tickets for Usher‘s concert at Orlando Stadium on the 10th of March were sold out, cast those feelings away. The organisers of the event announced this week that they have made more tickets available, following a huge public cry. Your cry as a fan, I suppose. See the news about this development below: More Golden Circle tickets... 

From the moment news broke that Denzel Washington was in Cape Town shooting a film called Safe House, South Africans went beserk with excitement. I remember at some point a media colleague who works for The Star Tonight mentioned an encounter he had with the man himself during the filming, when the friend was covering some other event in the Mother City. But I digress. Denzel Washington and Rayn Reynolds in Safe House. Safe House finally opened to...
