Moving the Centre - Travel Africa Magazine feature on Cape Town


Written by me for Travel Africa Magazine, published June 2019.
The official link for the piece is dead, and so I’m posting images of each page. Readers may have to zoom in a little to read properly. Apologies for that.
In brief, the piece seeks to show how Cape Town (pre COVID-19!) had been moving the centre: that is, mainstreaming the so-called periphery.

I studied film-making in 1994 at the Cape Town Film and TV School. I had a great time, and loved the film learning, but the school wasn't the right place for me.  In 1995 I started at UCT majoring in English and Drama, joined UCT Radio, did film courses and continued making films. My first project was with Akin Omotoso, assisting with his first film project together with Kurt Isaacs. Over the years I continued to make my own short films and radio programmes.  On this page visitors will find highlights from a wide selection of the inserts I've produced over the years. My skills include camera, sound, editing, directing, producing.   For the full portfolio please visit: https://www.youtube.com/user/mycapetown021/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/Coffeebeansroutes/videos https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLERmPgay_a4T2c22kNW0tCinlIo3N8AX4

  Early 2021 I was determined that I would produce one podcast a month for a year... A year later and here comes episode 2, titled "16 Tons".  16 Tons starts in the year 2000 in Sao Paolo, Brazil, with a band called Funk Como Le Gusta performing a cover of a hit Brazilian samba called 16 Toneladas, and travels back in time through the unlikely evolution of a song about Kentucky coal miners that became one of the greatest selling singles of all time .  At the time of publishing episode 2 I have already started on episode 3, and, God willing, it will not take a year to finish. The working title of episode 3 is "Songs that TikTok Taught Me".
