South Africa’s biggest night in comedy took over Gold Reef City, The Lyric Theatre, on Saturday, 2nd May, as the country’s finest comedic talent gathered for the 13th Annual Savanna Comics’ Choice Comedy Awards.
This year’s show embraced the theme A Family Affair. Celebrating comedy for what it truly is: a wonderfully chaotic, brilliantly dysfunctional family where everyone has a role to play, and no one holds back on the punchlines.
I attended the premiere of “The Devil Wears Prada 2” last week, courtesy of Disney Studios Africa.
Two decades later, the heels are higher, the comebacks are sharper, and the fashion world is still as cutthroat as ever, but this time, it comes with a layer of introspection we didn’t quite expect.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 doesn’t just revisit a cultural moment, it redefines it for where we are now. And as someone who remembers the original shaping my own views on ambition, career, and identity, this one felt a lot more personal.
The film picks up in a world that has dramatically shifted, digital disruption, influencer culture, and the slow death of traditional print media all form the backdrop. And right at the centre of it all is the still-formidable Miranda Priestly. But this time, there’s a quiet tension beneath her perfectly tailored exterior. The industry she once ruled without question is evolving, and for the first time, you sense that even she might have to adapt.

It isn’t just a stage adaptation; it is a vibrant, rhythmic tribute to a story that defined a generation of romantic comedies.
A Cinematic Experience on Stage:
One of the most impressive feats of this production is its ability to honor the source material while carving out its own identity.

The transition from screen to stage is seamless, using clever set changes that transport you instantly from the gritty streets of Hollywood Boulevard to the gilded luxury of the Beverly Wilshire.

“Michael” is an intense cinematic ride and perfectly captures the King of Pop’s life from 1966 to 1988.
Watching it on the newly opened largest IMAX screen in Gauteng at The Zone @ Rosebank made the experience even more unforgettable. The visuals, the sound, and the overall atmosphere elevated every moment on screen.
This film pulls you in with powerful storytelling, strong performances, especially from Jaafar Jackson as Michael, and emotional moments that stay with you long after the credits roll. It’s bold, gripping, and beautifully shot, with a soundtrack that adds even more depth to the experience.
For me, Michael Jackson was such an integral part of my teens and tweens. His music, his energy, and his larger-than-life presence shaped so many memories from that time. Watching this film felt nostalgic, emotional, and a reminder of just how much of an impact he had on an entire generation.
