Isidingo. A year after the devastating Fire!
When we learned of Isidingo’s studios catching fire it was a devastating reality for everyone whose a fan or know of the soapy. Quickly, the social network Twitter was full of speculations as who caused the fire, one tweet in particular referenced the fictional character “Cherel Hains” as the one who burnt down studio 6. A laugh we all had. Fast forward to this year, they reveal how it all went down. A triumphant story after the jump. A year ago; on 13 June; darkness fell on the Isidingo set; a devastating fire engulfed the Isidingo sets at SABC’s Henley Studios in Auckland Park and completely destroyed the studios housed in Studio 6. The writers immediately took a 180° turn to continue with telling stories in one of the country’s most popular TV soap. They looked at how mines can have an impact on the lives of its communities. The residents of Horizon Deep were forced into one space to deal with life and death together as their social standing had no value in the face of the disaster. The extended storyline which focused on one particular issue was filmed entirely on location. A year on and the journey of Isidingo continues with telling the stories that get people talking; stories that are relevant and that the audiences can identify with. Recent stories such as the mine disaster that brought the community of Horizon Deep together as they face devastation of mine rock falls with some miners losing their lives and Nikiwe Sibeko and Frank Xavier losing their child. A devastation that will have terrible effect on Frank as he tries to move on with his life. As Barker will learn that all that glitters is not gold. Executive Producer for Isidingo, Pumla Hopa, says “It has been a quite a year and a challenging journey as the team tried to find their feet and continued working tirelessly to get back on track by producing a number one Soap in the country.” She added, “Today we are celebrating and are proud of where we are and what we have in store for our views, as the Channel and Production are in reparation of the 15th Anniversary of Isidingo coming up in July”.

Cape Town wins Khumo.
I once heard a cover version of Tom Jones – It’s Not Unusual sang on glee and instantly thought its an original from Darren Criss. Turns out, I failed myself by not researching the original artist. This is the type of mistake uncommon with our feature writer Khumo Ntoane, its also usual for her to explore what is around her. We recently cried our hearts out bidding farewell to our “resident nerd” as she decided Johazardburg is killing her vibe. In this article she shares her love for Cape Town in pictures and shows us that truly indeed, she is a global citizen after living in Asia and South Korea she now calls Cape Town home, hopefully for a while before she packs her suitcase to her next destination. I love CapeTown for all the things that it’s NOT. I don’t expect friendly faces or chit chatter with strangers on taxis. I expect the tight lipped smiles with shades and the bergies who shout and curse you with deep hatred and the indifferent service at the non-touristy spots. I also love that there are several places to escape to, mine being mainly the beach and coffee shops. I’m an explorer in this city and at every corner there is something new to discover. I’ll be doing a lot more digging and going to places that are on the radar soon. I have a knack for attracting the most ridiculous situations… When the love for a place becomes more than just sight seeing it becomes a home, a comforting place, a breeding ground for ones creativity. With that being said, SP/Represent has good wishes for our beloved Khumzie. Cape Town, its been...
I Create We Create.
It is not everyday in South Africa where you come across young people gathering to foster a new way of living and successfully giving it their all to achieve their goals. Recently we teamed up with the feisty and talented Thinz who attended the #ICWC2013 conference held in Newtown to bring us up to speed, in her own words.This is what she observed, a good article for creatives at large. The transformation debate in the South African creative industry is one that’s going to go on for a long, long time. What a pleasure it was then to see one (of many) individuals who’s decided to take it upon himself to contribute towards turning this situation around. Banele, a guy we consider to be the epitome of a hustler here at the Represent offices, literally had to pull rabbits out of hats to put together what we consider to be the most inspiring workshop we’ve had the pleasure of being invited to. Having identified a gap (the size of the rift valley) between creatives with skills to offer and creative agencies desperately in need of talent, he facilitated an event that brought the two parties under one roof. On a cold winter Saturday morning, in a venue so nondescript it has to be one of Joburgs best secrets, the 1st of many I Create We Create events got underway. Hosted by a guy who – in my opinion has to be the funniest comedian right now – Donovan Goliath, the room began to buzz with inspiring speaker after speaker as creatives from a wide range of disciplines – photography, graphic design and writing – absorbed inspiration for how to make it in the dog-eat-dog world of living your creative dreams in the city of gold. All the speakers had nothing but gems to contribute. Sarah Jane Boden of SoulProviders started the show by sharing her learnings from being a small and growing content business. Shy-guy (he said it) Green Robot CEO Kgomotso Mautloa told his story of a start- stop journey to the top. A story that inspired many young people who could identify with him because he’s young and, like many of us, was at some point overwhelmed with the feeling of being directionless in his life. Then there was copy guru Mbulelo Nhlapho who blew everybody away with his portfolio of creative work that has cleaned up at awards shows across the globe. We often never take the time to think that behind the great advertising messages and stories we see out there, sure there’s the brand they represent, but behind it there are actual people who graft for hours,...
