Joining Ragoowansi will be Ninel Musson, the co-owner of Vth Season, a South African, full-service entertainment marketing agency.

The panel is rounded off by Msaki, a curator and producer. Through singles like “Blood, Guns and Revolution” (2020) and the South Africa Music Award-nominated album Zaneliza: How the Water Moves (2016), the Eastern Cape-raised artist has established herself as a fearless artistic force. She is also the owner of the label, One Shushu Day Artistry, and will bring an important independent perspective to the panel.
