In my decade long media career I have been working in the marketing sector for more than seven years working at leading PR agencies conceptualising, implementing & managing campaigns for leading global & local brands, businesses, & organisations across a variety of sectors.
In addition to that more formal part of my media career, I also have been a freelance writer and lifestyle & news commentator for local & international broadcast & print media, with hardly any topic - except for football perhaps - being something I won't hold an opinion on.
It says a lot about the times we live in that one question that still sparks debate even though it has been asked, polled, disputed, and contested fifty-eleven million times over countless years on Twitter is, "would you rather be given $500,000 or have dinner with Jay-Z?"
Mvelase Peppetta writes a response column challenging Fred Khumalo's open letter to Khanyi Mbau that he deems to be sexist and inappropriate. I'd never have thought that Khanyi Mbau leaving a man in Dubai would be followed by a swift and tiresome series of events leading to two men, Fred Khumalo and myself, arguing feminism.
Despite being seen as a straight man's wet dream, the Bond franchise is hella gay. From Sam Smith, to Madonna - and who could forget that iconic moment of Halle Berry walking out of the ocean redone by Daniel Craig? Yum
Content Note : This story contains discussion of fictionalised sexual assault and rape When the very first episode of Game of Thrones had ended with a little boy being thrown out of a window, to me it initially seemed strange that four seasons in there was a fuss when a brother raped his twin sister.
If, like myself, you are still a fan of Survivor, I'd be willing to bet that if you mention the show among mixed company you'll be familiar with the two responses you're most likely to get.
As the cool kids say, "the devil works hard, but Kris Jenner works harder". But you know who they don't say that about? Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, the woman we commonly refer to as the Queen.
JOHANNESBURG - For most small business owners, lowering costs can sometimes seem like a daunting process that will draw attention away from the day-to-day needs of actually running a business. However, it need not necessarily be so.
From Facebook to Google, the world's largest tech companies are increasingly looking to Africa and other developing economies as key markets where to ensure the continued growth of their businesses. Policy makers in African governments are also making sure their economies are preparing for a tech-focused future.
This may be something of an unpopular opinion, but I honestly don't understand why everyone's up in arms over Facebook's decision to be what it always has been and always will be - an operation to make money.
"I was convinced it wasn't real. It was only after the 2nd episode that I realised this actually happened," says Mvelase Peppetta. "Don't F**k with Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer" is a Netflix documentary series about the manhunt for Canadian murderer Luka Magnotta.
Zethu Matebeni REVIEW: Mvelase Peppetta One thing I hate is people who spell Africa with a "k." So the title, Reclaiming Afrikan: Queer Perspectives On Sexual And Gender Identities, when I thought it was "African," made me think this was a book right up my alley.
The Peppettas were the fifth black family to move into Bluewater Bay in Port Elizabeth. This fact came to my parents by way of a "maid" who worked nearby. She knew because the arrival of every black family was noted and discussed in secrecy among her white employers and their white friends.
Buy a t-shirt and you may be supporting sweatshop labour halfway around the world. Pick up some fresh fruit at the grocery store and you're doing harm to the environment. In a world where every little decision seems to cause some or other social harm, it can be difficult to navigate life in a socially conscious way.
Following Barack Obama's successful 2008 election campaign which relied heavily on social media, it's hardly surprising that Obama and social media are practically synonymous in the world of politics.

The Arrogance of Power: The South Africa's Leadership Meltdown REVIEW: Mvelase Peppetta For me, politics is more than just mere politics. It can be as much a piece of entertainment as good a movie. At various points in my life, I've found myself deeply invested in politics as strange as following the merry-go-round of Japanese Prime-Ministers to small district races in the US.
I just Googled 'David Bowie baby groupies' and I'm taking a step back from my mourning. We lambast R Kelly for the same shit.
