 Raised in a family where music was part of everyday life, KatzTheSingR found her voice singing alongside her mother and grandmother. Her early grounding in choral music would go on to shape the vocal control and emotional depth that have become central to her sound. In 2018, she took her talent to The Voice SA, making it through to the Battles, and in 2020, she contributed to Ha ke sa kgone on Project Hope, further expanding her creative journey.

Now, blending neo-soul, R&B and Afro-contemporary influences with live instrumentation, KatzTheSingR creates music that feels deeply personal intimate enough to make you listen closely, but powerful enough to stay with you.

She joins us on the line as we speak about all things life, music and everything else in between.

You’ve been in a long-term relationship for years. You had your routines, your favourite restaurants, your mutual friends, your “we” plans… and then suddenly, it’s just you. And now comes the interesting part: What do you actually like?

Not what you liked because your partner liked it. Not the restaurants you went to because they loved them. Not the hobbies you picked up because they were things you did as a couple.

Maybe you realise you actually hate hiking. Maybe you discover you love going out alone. Maybe you start dressing differently, travelling, making new friends, dating again or simply spending a Saturday doing absolutely nothing without having to explain yourself.

That post-relationship phase can be a real experiment in figuring out what belongs to you and what was simply part of being a couple. So, what did you do to rediscover yourself after a long-term relationship? What did you try, what surprised you, and what did you realise you actually like now?

To help us unpack this conversation we are in conversation with Social commentator, Nombulelo Tyatya and Life Coach, ‎Raymond Motau.

What did you do to find yourself again after the end of a long-term relationship? 

Think back to the last time you sat in a cinema, the lights went down, the screen came alive, and for the next two hours, the outside world disappeared. Cinemas have been part of the country's social and cultural landscape for generations.

But South Africa's cinema history is also a complicated one. During apartheid, segregation shaped where people could watch films, who had access to certain spaces, and which stories reached audiences.

Today, cinema remains a powerful space for storytelling -  reflecting our languages, cultures, communities and experiences. We are in conversation with Film Reviewer and Media Entrepreneur, Promise Dudu as we ask Where South Africa's cinema journey began, how did it change with the country, and what memories are still sitting in those empty seats?
