Jimmy Carr announces South African dates for 'Laughs Funny' tour | Mail & Guardian (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jimmy Carr is coming back to South Africa. The British-Irish comedian has announced two shows in March 2027 for his Laughs Funny tour: Sunbet Arena at Time Square in Pretoria on 13 March and the Grand Arena at GrandWest in Cape Town on 14 March. Carr has built a career on rapid-fire, deadpan one-liners and a taste for the darker end of the joke spectrum. His pitch for the new show is typically blunt. Jokes, the promoters say, are like magnets: they attract people but they can also repel. Anyone
Three voices, one spirit: honouring Busi Mhlongo at Joy of Jazz (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I never had the pleasure of seeing Busi Mhlongo perform while she was on this earthly plane. But for those who did it was a memorable experience. As Niren Tolsi once wrote in the pages of this publication: "Mhlongo's music nourished every audience she played for.

Read excerpt
A man walks into an empty boardroom at the start of the workday in an oversized blazer, shirt, tie and chinos with long fabulous dreadlocks hanging incongruously down his back and a tote bag with his laptop slung over one shoulder. He's exasperated. "I'm gonna ditch that nine to five," he declares, while the words flash on the screen in bold, bright red letters. That's the opening scene of the music video for S'bo Gyre's new single, I Quit (9.2.5), a Zulu electronic pop-rap track about walking o
Bokani Dyer looks back to move forward on ‘Traditions’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This past weekend I drove from Johannesburg to Rustenburg and back. The Bokani Dyer trio was my soundtrack the whole way. Traditions, due out on 1 October, landed in my inbox early and there's no better way to get inside an album than a few hundred kilometres of open road. Built around Dyer on piano and vocals, with drummer Lumanyano Mzi and bassist Tim Norton rounding out the trio, it made for a calm drive: the kind where you don't feel the urge to test the speed limit.
