SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND!!!!!!!!!

                                                              DIAMONDS TOUR

As the countdown began for all South Africans, we knew that the start of all things great was near and indeed it was.

Friday morning started what we all called the ''RIHANNA WEEKEND''. Radio stations played her songs non-stop and believe me, I really wasnt complaining. The only complain I had was not knowing what to wear since the 'THE MOTHER OF STYLE AND TRENDS WAS LANDING SOON'.

Friday passed and Saturday came;still had nothing to wear, my life came to a stand still but more than anything we waited for them to announce that she has landed and there was no sign of that.

SATURDAY midday our 'BADGIRL RIRI' landed and that was a confirmation that the show must go on and it went on indeed.

SUNDAY.....The big day; 'CONCERT TIME'.
67 000 of us patiently waited for her even after she was 30minutes late, we still waited to see what she was wearing. She got on stage wearing a black and gold tracksuit that didnt scream fashion god in my eyes. The baseball jacket from the tracksuit had beautiful gold details on it as well as matching pants but it really was nothing I've never seen before. So the whole outfit went something like this, BLACK AND GOLD TRACKSUIT, PLAIN SLEEVELESS VEST, DETAILED BLACK HALF CAP AND BLACK PUMPS.

Now that didnt scream fashion goddess.... The mother of fashion really didnt grab me with her fashion on stage but she grabbed me when she got off stage carrying the S.A flag on her shoulder.

WEL DONE RIRI, S.A LOVED YOU.....

PHUMLILE 'POOHBEAR'

Mo’Molemi's “A SIA” album drops today!

The much anticipated release of Mo'Molemi's third album, A SIA, hits stores nationwide today. The album title, A SIA (And So Is Afrika), is an accumulation of various ideas.  A SIA was developed initially as a travel novel written by Mo'Molemi as he backpacked through Zimbabwe, Zambia, then caught a ship through Lake Tanganyika for 800k to Burundi. Then he backpacked to Tanzania, Malawi and Mozambique before returning back home to Mahikeng, South Africa. The novel never came to be, but instead metamorphosed into a 19 track album questioning the place of Africa among the nations of the world.
 
The A SIA album has classical lyrical flow that Mo'Molemi fans have come to know and love. It features tracks with the likes of Tumi of Tumi and The Volume, Tuks, Zeus, Lection, Blue Skye, Eazy Lap, Fifi Cooper, Kea Mmoki, Towdeemac and heavyweight artists from Botswana namely: Mosako, A.T.I, Orakle, E.P.I.C Jujuboy and traditional artist, Ntirelang Bearman.
 
Pelonomi is the first single to be released off A SIA and is already being playlisted on high rotation on stations such as Lesedi FM, Motsweding FM, North West FM, YaRona FM in Botswana and Ultimate FM in Lesotho.
 
Pelonomi is a Hip Hop love song featuring Mafikeng based soul singer Nkuli. The song is a celebration of undying love, faith and hope, and unravels the conversation of whether a burning love will still be as strong after indefinite periods apart.
 
Watch the Pelonomi video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzd2XXn3OXc&amp;feature=youtu.be
 
"I truly enjoyed producing, composing and recording A SIA. Much appreciation to my record company So Hype Records, my engineer Tshepo Vena and every soul that assisted in the making of the record. To #molemination... your engagement with my art.. often very critical.. is the license that enables me to write with freedom, for ours is a communal development conversation. I am because you are" expresses Mo'Molemi.
 
As Mo'Molemi grows in music and his love for food production, his wish is that A SIA inspires a thousand new farmers to take up the cause of food production, the cause of agrarian revolution through fair competition with other commercial farmers.
 
"It's our pleasure to see the release of this long awaited album. We will get it to the people by all means, and assure the masses of Mo'Molemi's presence and prominence from here on" shares Massie Hule, managing director of So Hype Records.
 
A SIA is available in physical disk in stores from today, Thursday 10 October 2013. A SIA will also be released digitally on 17 October 2013 and available on most major digital (online and mobile) platforms in South Africa and globally like Traxsource, Juno, Stompy.com, Spotify, Nokia, MTN, Vodacom, Orange iTunes and most other African Mobile networks.

Bongi Mvuyana debuts her music career with "I Wonder"

Bongi Mvuyana, a South African singer and song writer, debuted her first single, I Wonder, this week. I Wonder is taken off her upcoming debut album, Dopamine, and has already been play listed on stations such as Metro FM, Power FM, YFM, Kovsie FM, UCT Radio, Kaya FM, Heart FM and Radio 2000 FM just to mention a few.
 
As a new comer to the music industry, Bongi Mvuyana has already impressed various industry critics and has received positive reviews.  She was named one of 2013's "Faces to Watch" by City Press newspaper earlier this year; she has recently been described as "The most interesting sound locally since The Arrows" by Gavin Green of Universal; and when Morgan Ross, Manager of G Music Management and Electromode Records first heard I Wonder, she expressed her sentiments with "Wow Wow Wow! I Love her!! She's like a black Lana Del Rey!!"
 
I Wonder track: http://bongimvuyana.com/new-music-i-wonder/
 
Bongi Mvuyana brings a lot of character to her music which can be experienced both visually and audibly. She has a strong personality and vocals which are softened by her warm heart and packaged sensually with her style and gentle demeanor.
 
"I want my music to mean something to people when they listen to it. I want people to relate to the stories, find something authentic in the words, in the chords…" expresses Bongi Mvuyana.
 
Bongi Mvuyana's performance highlights this year include Katzy's Up and Coming and the prestigious Moshito Music Conference. Bongi Mvuyana grew up with music around her and discovered at a very young age that music was her passion. However, it wasn't until a year ago when she signed to the Vth Season Audio label, which also manages the likes of AKA, Da LES and DJ Vigilante, that she and her manager have been preparing for this official debut of her music career.
 
"Bongi Mvuyana is the most refreshing new artist we have worked with in the last 4 years. She brings such a fresh and exciting sound to radio, our home stereo, Ipods and music playlists. This boundary pushing music and artist has invigorated my thirst for music as a healer and light to the soul. We are so pleased and honoured to present her to the world" shares Benza, Managing Director at Vth Season Audio.

Cleo Rinkwest's Lehkolo Moving Pictures “NOW” wins Audience Award

 
Cleo Rinkwest's production company, Lehkolo Moving Pictures, entered the 48 Hour Film Project where they had to produce a short film in 48 hours. The film entitled NOW was screened last week amongst other contenders at the Cinema Nouveau in Rosebank, Johannesburg. It was announced yesterday that NOW won the Audience Award for the 48 Hour Film Project.
 
NOW was executively produced by Cleo Rinkwest and Lehasa Moloi, both owners of Lehkolo Moving Pictures. NOW is a drama that entails the lives of five friends on their annual retreat but tension looms as they find themselves in their own emotional ruts. The film was directed by Thabo Rametsi (Class Act Season 1) and stars Cleo Rinkwest, Lehasa Moloi (Spud, Rockville), Loyiso Macdonald (Isidingo) and new comers Mathunzi Macdonald and April Ngoako.
 
"I've been part of the 48 Hour Film Project for three years now, but this was the first time that I was one of the producers. It was very challenging but an experience that I will never forget. The worst part of making a film in 48 hours - the pressure. The best part? The pressure. You really have no choice but to think on your feet, make a clear decision and run with it!" shares Cleo Rinkwest.
 
The film was dedicated in memory of those affected by the Pinetown tragedy as it had hit close to home for the crew as their director, Thabo Rametsi, and one of their lead actors, Loyiso Macdonald, both call KZN home. NOW left an impactful message at the end without saying anything, around the importance of living in the now and not taking the people in your lives forgranted.
 
Lehkolo Moving Pictures will be submitting NOW at varies film festivals locally and internationally.

IT’S TRULY A FASHION AFFAIR FOR THE WEST SIDE OF JOHANNESBURG!!!!!!!!!!!

Every season change leads to a lifestyle change, which leads to an awesome wardrobe change (in most cases) or is it the other way around, and which better way to change your wardrobe than attending a fashion show where talented designers will be showcasing?

The season change for the Westrand was brought over by two awesome ladies and others sponsors who came together to make show they host the 1^st annual fashion show in the Westrand on the 05^th October 2013 at the Greenhills Stadium. This Fashion Show will not only help upcoming designers but also put Westrand on the fashion map.

Like always, “therealbizmag” got the privilege to meet up with these ladies and finding out exactly what the objective of the Fashion Show is and how high are the standards in terms of creativity…

·        Can you give us a brief idea of who you ladies are and what your contribution is in the planning of this fashion show.

Carol and Refilwe are the owners of Tlhagoentle Creative Solutions which deals with marketing, branding and events. They are the creatives and planners of the fashion show.

·        What inspired the idea of bringing a fashion show in Randfontein(Westrand)?

‘We really wanted to expose good craftsmanship. Fashion is also one of those things that are over looked in the Westrand, so we are trying to bridge the gap. Handmade items a very valuable’.

·        What is the theme or the main idea that circulates the fashion show?

“We didn’t have a strict theme but we told the designers that they must think spring and colours. So the idea was a spring/summer collection”.

·        How many designers are showcasing and are they all from the Westrand or are there others from outside the district?

“There will be seven designers which come from all parts of Westrand. Mohlakeng, Kagiso, Bekkersdale and Finsbury. We only focused on Westrand as a whole”.

·        What criteria did you use to choose the designers that will be showcasing?

The criteria included unknown designers from the Westrand who show potential and passion for their craft.

·        Will there be pop-up stores at the actual event or will the purchasing of items be done after the fashion show privately with the designer?

“There will be a showcase after the fashion show which will give the audience a chance to see the clothes up-and-close but we will also give the away the contacts of the designers in case there is something you want to tell or ask the designer”.

·        How can we go about getting tickets to attend the fashion show?
