Fatherhood. Reloaded.

:

Heartlines is releasing a new film called Playing Dad as part of its Fathers Matter project, which is backed by FirstRand Empowerment Foundation. The film launches online on 13 June on the Fathers Matter website and the HeartlinesZA YouTube channel. 

Playing Dad explores how fathers can connect with their children through play and how this connection can shape early childhood development. The film also addresses the broader issue of fatherhood in South Africa and asks a valid question: “How can cultural norms be adapted to better support both men and their children?”

I’M FROM SOWETO : A Night Honoring Lebo M's Legacy

:

 

Legacy, pride, and a deep sense of home filled the air in Rosebank as South Africa’s creative elite gathered to honour a living legend. Under the golden lights of The Atrium in the Trumpet Building, an extraordinary tribute unfolded for one of the country’s most iconic musical exports — Lebo M.

The event, titled “I’M FROM SOWETO: From Soweto to the World”, wasn’t just a celebration of a man. It was a celebration of a journey — a 30-year story of triumph told through music that transcended borders and time.
