Ann Jangle Releases Impassioned New Single “Rebel”

Ann Jangle rebel

Today sees the release of Rebel the second track from Ann Jangle’s solo E.P due for release at the end of August 2018.

“This song portrays the love- hate relationship between 2 people who can’t seem to make it work, let go nor move forward. It comes from a place of being stuck yet the desire to move on.

Rebel was written to channel those emotions which so many people experience in romantic relationships that don’t work.

Instead of seeing them as a time to move on, we tend to hold on for dear life and miss the lesson that was meant to be learnt.” – Ann Jangle

Shot by her filmmaker friend Dino Denton at The Hoek in Noordhoek Cape Town, and with a very special guest appearance by Ann’s dog Kevin.

Donovan Pieterson generations the legacy

Generations The Legacy actor Donovan Pieterson says people often mistake him for his character, Brandon, and try to help him. Donovan plays Brandon, the character of an autistic person on the show.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Donovan said “people live for TV. They sympathise with me and ask me if I am okay. They ask if they can help. What frustrates them is that they don’t understand I am playing a character. When they see that I don’t have autism in real life they look at me as if I am trying to deceive them or that I am taking chances.”

Donovan Pieterson said he has international ambitions but he accepted the role because he wanted to prove to himself and others that he could play a difficult character.

The star further stated that he doesn’t want to play a character saying lines differently. This role pushes him emotionally and has helped him to grow. His goals and ambitions are to go international, but he’s so grateful for the opportunities he has been given with Generations.

Tumi Voster & Mark-Anthony Bingham

It’s been a nail-biting season of Tropika Island Of Treasure so far and this week, the first elimination took place. After receiving the lowest number of points throughout the first round of challenges, 5FM presenter Tumi Voster and Mark-Anthony Bingham were booted off the island.

Naturally, the duo is gutted about being the first to leave the island and their bubby personalities are sure to be missed. The teams continue to battle it out for a share of that smoooth R1 million. However, with a variety of Slenda Twists on the way, the next few episodes of Tropika Island Of Treasure promise to be entertaining.

Q&A With Tumi Voster & Mark-Anthony Bingham Shortly After Being Eliminated:

What surprised you most about yourself being on TIOT and the island?

Tumi Voster: If you told me five years ago that I would be on a reality show, I would’ve probably not believed you. I learned that I can do whatever I set my mind to doing. I learned to be more open to new and exciting experiences! Everything that happened on that island was a surprise every single day but I was prepared and ready every single day to face all the challenges. I am happy that I got to show my fans or followers a different side of me they’ve never seen before as I am quite a private person.

Mark-Anthony Bingham: What I learned the most was that I was able to allow a female to lead as I’m always the dominant one, and I learned to listen – not just rush in to situations.

It is not every day that established musicians come together and share a stage for the good of humanity. This is what guitarist and producer Kunle Ayo and his friends have decided to do in May 2018, in spite of a wild beast schedule associated with their status.

The list of his friends reads like the “Who is Who” of the African musical heavy hitters – Ringo Madlingozi, Oliver Mtukudzi, Hlengiwe Mhlaba, Lebo Sekgobela and a few surprises.

“There is a brain drain of experienced and talented African musicians, and that robs the continent’s young an opportunity to be groomed properly by their idols,” says Kunle Ayo.

“As an experienced African musician spending more time overseas, recording in the studio, managing media, and administrative work, one loses the opportunity to give back to the community. Sometimes even losing touch with the challenges facing the continent.”

Kunle realized this conundrum when he was on tour discussing the challenges bedeviling the continent.
