It seems Ofentse "Mawisa" Mathope is finally on his way to getting his dues. The Mabopane born and bred entertainer has always been about the industry. He's earned some stripes, learned some lessons and paid his dues and now he's going for the bag. He started out in the Mohawks era and dawned the most colourful ones. It was somewhat a trademark hairdo of his at that time. Fast forward to today, he's doing amazing things. We caught up with the Radio/TV presenter/ Event MC/Gay Activist and Influencer, to find out about his journey and all it's challenges and beauty. What do you remember wanting to be while growing up? Lol. l I'm glad you asked this question hey. Well, when we were young we used to imitate the likes of Queen Moroka (from  Generations) and Kimora Lee Simmons. I always wanted to be within the media industry. Little did I know I'm planting a seed. Right now, what is it that's making you happy? My relationship with God. How m...

In an industry where not only your beauty but your uniqueness too is appreciated, Nthaby seems to be in the right field. Nthabiseng Motsepe is gorgeous. She is a versatile model and a deceased estate administrator at FDP Administration Services. She was born & bred in Ga-Rankuwa, north of Pretoria. She is one unstoppable lady on a beautiful and glamorous mission. She only started actively pursuing modeling back in 2010 during the World cup season She says this is because people she bumped into always told her she should consider Runway Modeling because of her striking looks and extraordinary height. Nthabi is currently signed with G3 models under talents and works as a freelance model. She's about to hit the 10 year mark and with all she's done, learned and achieved, she is not close to being done. She says the journey has been all sorts of challenging, interesting and humbling. She urges to those that are like her who would like to get in the industry, that self b...

There's a saying that I like using, which goes "we can't all be everything and anything, but we all can be something" When one's caling is helping others reach theirs,you have to step up to it. Wimz Montshioa says he believes he was drawn into the pop culture  because the music fascinated him. So much so that he went on to try it out. Being from a Province that is so heavily Hip Hop influenced, more so by Motswako, there was no other genre to pursue but that. But when one realises that their passion lies just beyond the mic, you have to step up. Wimz later decided to dicth rap music to focus on being behind the scene due to realising that, what lit up his fire was working, nurturing and producing new artists to the people. He's been at it for a while as "the man behind the talent" and says he appreciates the state that the industry is at right now and says things could be better especially in his hometown. "The scene is great you know...

I've been wanting to get a tattoo for three years now and besides the pain that I assume comes with getting one, I just had to make sure I was certain and ready. And some horrific looking tats seen about are enough to make one not want to go anywhere near a tattoo store. I mean, this ish for life. Remember when the art of tattoos wasn't really considered art, but rather something dark and all things negative? The stigma? The devil and Satanism talks? Do you like tattoos? Do you have one or two or would like to get one? Tattoos like Rap, graffiti are steadily gaining their stance in society, though some faster than others, it seems creativity is getting more and more accepted in all its forms. There's a tattoo place @ 93 Juta Street, shop number 3, Braamfontein called UWS BLVCK INK TATTOOZ and it is ran by a guy called Mo-Tee who believes enough that the tattoo culture in SA is well, alive and about to spring in on the mainstream. We caught up with him for some QnA. ...

 Attention Emerging Talent!! So, for the years that I have been dealing with and working alongside emerging talent, more so, artists. I have noticed some behavior pertaining to their brand. That could be credited to lack of experience and knowledge but it could also be ignorance and lack of proactivity. A lot of talent lacks a lot of knowledge of their industries. The very same field they want to occupy one day. Its super essential for anyone to know as much as possible when it comes to a dream they are pursuing or a skill they are great at or anything for that matter they say they are passionate about. The very basic things to know are many times overlooked and undermined and they play a huge role in how you develop as a brand, how you are perceived, and it shows just how serious or not one is about whatever it is they are pursuing. I have listed and broken down six (6) tips for emerging/ up and coming brands/ talents. Hopefully they will serve helpful to some. 1. The bas...
