AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Pop-Culture Memory: Oros’s unmistakable jingle has been part of South African life for generations. The drink’s story stretches back to 1899, while its much-loved “Flavour Drums” advert dates to the early 2000s. Fashion & Sustainability: At SA Fashion Week, Craig Jacobs’s Fundudzi collection turned pre-owned and discarded clothes into new designs, challenging the industry’s appetite for constant production. Director Lucilla Booyzen also sees local designers turning creativity into businesses and jobs. Cape Town Stage: Zingara’s new Melanina production is bringing a fresh kind of magic to the city, while Into the Woods offers a dark, unhinged take on Sondheim’s fairy tales. Film & Literature: Rise: The Siya Kolisi Story is being hailed as a new benchmark for South African film, while a Limpopo author is being celebrated for championing Xitsonga.
