Jozi Film Festival: A dream realised for the local film industry

There needs to be something said about those people who strive to fulfil their dreams. I’m referring here to anyone who decides that it’s time to simply do their thing, no matter the consequences. ‘Brash’ may be one way to describe such people. However, there is also a boldness that invokes a sense of envy from those on the outside when it succeeds.

EuroTrashMusic: An indispensible patch in the quilt that is radio

Having occupied a number of roles during his time in radio, Craig Steyn knows his music. Now working at etm.fm, he also knows exactly what his listeners want to hear. Such a fact is not unique and I’d agree. Afterall, any DJ or every radio station will claim that they know their audience. However, Steyn isn’t ‘any DJ’. Likewise, etm.fm isn’t ‘every radio station’.

Entertainment Reviews

Dr Howard Rybko's <i>The Decarb Diet</i> is now on the shelf

Dr Howard Rybko's The Decarb Diet is now on the shelf

It has to be said that here are diet books and there are diet books. Some offer impractical advice in a style of writing that makes my eyes glaze over. Others are so extreme that they make me wonder if I really want to go through all the effort to look like the woman on the cover, with the strained smile and bodybuilder pose.

Leanne Hunt's debut novel delves into the lives of the well-to-do

What is special about this debut novel is not its characters, although they are well-rounded and deliciously real. It’s not the fact that on the surface it is a gentle meander through the lives of well-to-do South Africans living in the affluent suburbs of Johannesburg, while underneath it unlocks a world of human desire, anxiety and need.
