LAUREN CLARK in South Korea

I work everyday, including two Saturdays a month, teaching adults from 7-11am and 5.30-9.30pm in order to accommodate business people. I live 10 minutes from my office in the heart of Gangnam (downtown of Seoul) and in between class I play golf, do yoga, meet friends, shop and sight-see.

SUSAN MOOLMAN in New York

So what do you need to know about a girl who was born in Klerksdorp, a small town not too far from Johannesburg, spent age five through 18 in Windhoek; survived a year in London by packing chicken fillets and luxury chocolates and eating over-priced Niknaks before moving to Cape...

KELLY KHUMALO makes the movie move

DANCE MUSIC from Birth to Rebirth

T WAS THE LATE 1970's. The city, Chicago. Every weekend, glistening bodies let off huge pulsations of energy at the city’s night clubs. After all, much of the world was hooked on disco dance music. The repetitive beats and bass, synthesizer-driven melodies and sexy vocals seemed to unite club patrons...

Apartheid. Xenophobia. Illegal aliens. Segregation. Conflict. Rights violations. Words that could easily be used to describe our country’s most recent past, however what they’re referring to is a film that arguably could be one of the biggest in South African cinematic history, District 9.

STARSEED The Peace Machine

HEAVY ROCK AND METAL is from another planet some may say. And for many it can be a matter of obsessive love or hate. For UK based Starseed - heavy rockers originally hailing from Planet Starseed, I mean, Joburg - they come in peace with an offering of their second...

Moosh (Fulham, London)
