[Ruth Cooper] Jumping on the bandwagon, so to speak, BizLounge thought we should get in on a little of Die Antwoord hype and action (and Google hits) and do our own little story on the interesting phenomena that is Die Antwoord. There is no denying that the trio that make up Die Antwoord have recently exploded over the net and have taken not just SA by storm but have also caused quite the stir internationally.

[Daphne Cooper] The nearly full Artscape Theatre, for the launch of Melanie Scholtz's new album “Connected”, was a good way to end the weekend. The supporting act was the Artscape Youth Jazz Vocal Ensemble of six people, who Melanie has taught and supported. They did a few slick-and-stylish numbers and made me appreciate some of my favourite standards in new ways - especially lovely renditions of Nature Boy and Feeling Good.
