Celebrating 30 years of democracy is a momentous occasion for South Africa. Yet, the concept of freedom itself remains a complex and evolving conversation. This issue explores this very tension. We celebrate the progress made, the ability to voice out and express ourselves freely. We are a nation brimming with creative energy – from the established artist alongside the rising amapiano producer, to the humanitarian and the ambassador. But we also acknowledge the voices that say, “We ain’t free yet.” Freedom is a journey, not a destination. This issue is a microcosm of that journey.
We delve into the art of socializing, a fundamental human need but also a skill to be honed (don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!). We celebrate the rise of women in the film industry. We meet a master painter, an art activist, and an author with a story that promises to shake South Africa. Through these narratives, we encounter the echoes of freedom – the struggles, the triumphs, and the ongoing pursuit of a more complete liberation. The closing message is a call to action: Let us not be afraid to be free. Let us keep the conversation going, keep creating, and keep pushing the boundaries of what freedom means in our South Africa.
