Many women make decisions about contraception based on a friend’s experience, something they’ve seen on social media, or fears about infertility, weight gain and side effects. So how do you separate fact from misinformation? How do you know which method is appropriate for your body, your health and your reproductive plans? And what should you do if the method you’ve chosen simply doesn’t feel right for you? As we mark World Contraception Day on 26 September we have invited Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, Dr Rogers Mmabatswa to help us have an informed conversation about contraception.

World Contraception Day 

Johannesburg has always been a city of contradictions, movement and reinvention — and now, the streets of the inner city become part of the stage. The production moves between the streets of Johannesburg and the theatre, with performers and cameras travelling through the city while their journey is broadcast live to audiences inside the Market Theatre Laboratory. It’s a production that blurs the boundaries between theatre, film and documentary, while exploring a generation coming of age in a world shaped by uncertainty, social change and constant digital connection. Acclaimed Swiss director and writer Boris Nikitin and Johannesburg-based filmmaker, cinematographer and cultural journalist Tšeliso Monaheng join us on the line to speak about what inspire the concept behind create KIDS, an ambitious live cinema production that captures the city  and the young people who inhabit it  in real time.

Feel Good: A Live Cinema Odyssey Through the Streets of Inner-City Johannesburg

For many communities, music has always been one of the ways stories, language, traditions and identity are kept alive. And for artists, that music can become a bridge between generations, connecting what was passed down to us with what we want future generations to remember. That’s part of the conversation we want to have with Thapelo Sefika, better known as Cfikulture, a musician, vocalist, songwriter and performer from Botshabelo in the Free State. His musical journey began in church, later growing through school bands and his own music, and he continues to use music as a way to connect with audiences and express his identity. We’re joined by Cfikulture to talk about his music, his heritage and the importance of preserving what we have.

From church and community halls in Hammarsdale to becoming one of South Africa’s most recognisable voices in Afropop and Amapiano - Mthunzi’s journey is one of persistence, evolution and finding his sound. Born Njabulo Mthunzi Ndimande, Mthunzi started making music professionally back in 2008, recording and sharing his work independently before a major turning point came in 2019, when he moved to Johannesburg and joined Sun-El Musician’s El World Music imprint. His debut album, Selimathunzi, introduced audiences to his soulful Zulu vocals, blending Afropop, R&B and Maskandi influences. But it was his collaboration with Kabza De Small on Isimo that took his career to another level, with “Imithandazo” becoming one of the biggest songs of 2024 and earning major awards recognition. Today, Mthunzi moves comfortably between Afrosoul and Amapiano, while staying rooted in the Zulu sound and storytelling that have always been part of his music. We’re joined by Mthunzi to talk about his musical journey, his evolution as an artist, and what it means to find your sound while continuing to grow.
