By Kaunda Selisho
It's hard to tell just how long she has been working because she hasn't aged much since her big break in 2012 when she won the MTV Base VJ Search, but Nomuzi "Moozlie" Mabena's talent has kept her booked and busy for more than a decade.

Range Rover remains the ideal limousine for a visit to Jan Franschhoek
By Lance Branquinho
Few people have the privilege of driving a luxury car. And I don't mean something with leather seats and bedazzling infotainment. True luxury cars feature individual rear seats and ride on air suspension. And that narrows the available selection of models.
If your understanding of unfiltered luxury transit by automobile is sumptuous comfort and air-suspended ride quality, it's essentially only the German limousines, their platform twin SUVs, and Land Rover. Or rather, Range Rover, both the traditional and Sport variants.

REVIEW | Thicker Than Water: Kerry Washington's intersectional life of privilege and precarity
By Karabo K Kgoleng
The Fixer was a fixture on South African TV for a good while. It was a riveting political drama about Olivia Pope, crisis communicator, advisor and lover to the president of the United States. She brought him into office and took him out while simultaneously handling her personal crises of being his mistress, the boss of her motley crew of associates with PTSD, her controlling father and her messy internal life…
Acting was more than just a calling for Kerry Washington. It moored her in a world full of uncertainty and facilitated her escape from self-loathing.
