What happened

At 61, Selaelo Selota is proving that creativity has no expiry date, stepping into a new creative chapter with the spirited debut collection, The New Resonance, for his newly-minted fashion label Thrrr...

Why it matters

The milestone is the legendary Afro-jazz musician, composer and multi-instrumentalist extending his artistry from an energetic sound into an emboldened, new and undeniable style.

Common ground

The clearest point to anchor on is this: Amapiano sensation Mawhoo and Afro-pop powerhouse Lwah Ndlunkulu are joining forces. Under the moniker Zulu Queens, the duo are set to drop a maskandi album, Isithembu, on August 28.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
