Last night we attended the David Tlale show as part of MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK AFRICA happening at the City of Tswane. David Tlale's show was off site of-course... Wow! So when we get to the secret venue which happens to be a rail way station, people were amazed, asking questions like, "what's happening here?",  "Is the show gonna be inside the train or what?", 'whats got into David Tlale?", "I don't understand what's happening" I heard this other guy behind me say... Owk, there was just a massive hype, ushers telling us to get seated ASAP as there will be a train driving past like now... We then got more confused... We are now seated and there is music, drama on the projector srceens and you can just imagine...

After attending the opening night for the Out In Africa Lesbian and Gay Film Festival last night at Hyde Park NuMetro I fell in love with movies, I realized how much do one put behind the final product and also the reason behind each movie or documentary. Great speeches, very short, touching and allowed everyone to be part of the conversation by each guest, I must say, one of the few openings I've actually enjoyed it speeches, I didn't feel like sleeping at all, especially considering the fact that it was right after work where one had to rush home to change quickly then to Hyde Park by 18h30 The first feature film South African Programme would have had everyone in tears, but I commend the direction they took in concertizing the society about "Corrective Rape".
