Selepe Maifadi was out there to bring us all the action.

Mzansis music took to a whole new level this year and as we celebrated a decade of Amapiano music. The sound is firmly chilling at the top of charts globally. As we wrap up the year we explore the top tracks and artists that are most listened to on global distributing streaming platforms. Selepe Maifadi attended the Spotify Wrapped event at the Constitution Hill to find out about our most loved hits for the year.

2024 was another massive year where Mzansi was shining bright on the global stage, especially when it comes to the culture. Our music, fashion, dance styles, lingo - NJE, everything about SA was widely celebrated and adopted in many parts of the world. It's only fair for us to look at those moments and give credit where its due. I am now joined by Digital creator, Entertainment Commentator, Blogger and Award-winning Brand PR Consultant Nombulelo Fox and Award-winning culture reporter, Bestselling author of Dinner at Somizi's, and Editor-in-chief of Sowetan S Mag Emmanuel Tjiya to unpack the unforgettable fashion moments.

The festive season is a fantastic time to visit waterparks and go to the beaches with our families and friends. But while having fun in the sun, we must also put safety first, to avoid injuries and drowning. One of the coolest places to visit is Happy Island in Gauteng, where holidayers thrive on amazing water features and slides. Trendz producer Didintle Mookeletsi went to explore the park, but also get a few nuggets on how to remain jovial and safe.

Picture rolling green vineyards, charming countryside architecture, majestic mountains, and the irresistible vibe of Cape Town. You don’t have to imagine it for long because, for the next five minutes, we’re bringing it all to life. Get ready for an unforgettable journey through this postcard-perfect experience, curated by our producer, Puleng Molebatsi, just for you

Every town has a story to tell, and Thembisa is no different. This vibrant township holds key moments that shaped South Africa’s history.
What stood out for us this time around was the inspirational story of guest house owner Sheila Sekitla. The woman behind the establishment of Thembisa's very first guest house back in 1992 when townships weren't known for having such. This is a true testament to resilience and hope. Here's a journey through history and a celebration of dreams fulfilled.
