Blended families are becoming more common, but the emotional terrain they bring is anything but simple. One of the most delicate questions that often comes up is this: what does a child call a stepfather, especially when their biological father is still present and active in their life? Is it about respect? Comfort? Boundaries? Or is it something that has to be negotiated over time, with everyone at the table? We are in conversation with Relationship and Life Coach, Tsholo Modikoe.

We are in conversation with Otto Andile Nhlapo who’s  journey began in traditional Zulu dance, laying a powerful cultural foundation before evolving into a dynamic contemporary career shaped by his training at Moving Into Dance. He has captivated audiences both locally and on international stages, with highlights including tours in France and a performance at the South African Presidential Inauguration. As a choreographer, his work, such as Interpellation, Gister Maoba, and Man Up, it dives deep into themes of identity, masculinity, memory, and the body as a site of lived experience. These ideas continue to unfold in his latest work, CODE/DNA.

When someone we love passes away, we often think about grief, memories, and saying our final goodbye, but there’s also the practical side of things that can quickly become complicated especially when it comes to property. If a home or property was jointly owned, what actually happens next? Does it automatically go to the surviving partner, or can it become part of the deceased’s estate? And what if there are children or other family members involved who really has the final say? We are in conversation with Consumer Activist and Director from Marefi, Elias Shamatla.
