Dear Mom, I want to speak to your heart, because I’ve been there. I remember after I had my son, I walked into my closet thinking I’d just pick up from where I left off. I reached for the clothes I used to love—the jeans that once hugged me just right, the dress that always made me feel put together. But when I put them on, something felt off. They didn’t fit. And slowly, it began to sink in, my body had changed. But instead of accepting that, I did what so many of us do. I kept those clothes…

Kemi Adetiba is a powerful filmmaker and deserves all the attention she’s getting after the release of her new Netflix series, To Kill a Monkey (TKAM).

The series follows the journey of Efemini (William Benson), a man who repeatedly faces brutal blows from life and is trying to navigate his way out of the overwhelming toxicity that life throws at him. In Efemini’s case, these lemons can’t even be turned into lemonade. The…
Omawumi is in love, and this time it feels different. Her new visuals for “In Love” capture that feeling we’ve all hoped for, something rare and overwhelming in the best way. The song already gave hints. She sings about heartbreak and near-misses, about holding on to hope even when love keeps slipping through your fingers. But with this one, she’s sure. “This kind of love is made in the movies,” she says. Produced by Spellz and written by Benjamin Obadje and Omawumi herself, “In Love” is a celebration of healing, vulnerability, and the kind of affection that feels straight out…
Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana superstar Iqraam Rayners has been forced to be honest, and duly so. The 29-year-old Sundowns attacker from Mitchells Plain, Cape Town, feels the Premier Soccer League was unfair in listing the Footballer of the Season nominees. Despite the second-highest goals and assists output, the PSL nominated Lucas Ribeiro, Sekhukhune United’s Keletso Makgalwa and Relebohile Mofekeng of Orlando Pirates.

My name is Amaka Jasmine Oberhiri, from Delta State, Nigeria. I grew up in the bustling city of Lagos. From a young age, I was a bookworm. You’d often find me ducking my head in one literary piece or the other. I fondly remember my mum saying, “Everything is not book book.” Thankfully, I developed other interests that helped me maintain a balanced life. My academic journey up until secondary school was smooth for the most part. I was always a top student. In 2018, I graduated from secondary school as the best graduating student and Valedictorian. However, life took…
The Springboks are inspiring innovation at all levels of rugby. The now-famed midfield lineout – which gets its origins from a Paul Roos under-14 team – was used to great effect by Rassie Erasmus’ Boks during the two-Test mini-series against Italy earlier this month. Now, one of South Africa’s oldest clubs Villager FC, has put its own spin on it. Villager FC in Cape Town, South Africa, with a variation of the midfield lineout.
