Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPV), a subsidiary of Tata Motors—India’s largest automotive manufacturer has formally re-entered the South African passenger vehicle market, marking the beginning of a new era for the company and its brands.
I attended the launch event, held at The Galleria in Sandton, Johannesburg, and this included the unveiling of four dynamic models: the Harrier, Curvv, Punch, and Tiago—each engineered to meet the diverse mobility needs of South African consumers.
This strategic re-entry is underpinned by a strong alliance with Motus Holdings, South Africa’s foremost automotive group. The timing couldn’t be more fitting—TMPV has recorded exceptional growth, scaling from just 170,000 units in 2020 to over 560,000 units in 2024, reflecting an impressive 350% increase. As the pioneer in automotive safety in India, TMPV takes pride in offering a portfolio where all models are rated 4 or 5 stars by the globally recognised New Car Assessment Programs, including Global NCAP (GNCAP) and Bharat NCAP (BNCAP)—India’s official safety rating system.
Mzansi beauty lovers, your glow-up moment is here.
Revlon has just launched the brand-new Glimmer Shimmer Shine Collection in South Africa — and it’s everything you need to shimmer, shine, and glow unapologetically.
I attended the launch this past week. See the fabulous video below and follow @mishkahonthemove on Instagram and TikTok.
This collection isn’t just about makeup, it’s about living boldly. Think high-impact shimmer, skin-loving ingredients, and effortless formulas that make it easy to go from subtle glow to full-on glam.
One of the greatest voices of our generation, eight-time nominee and two-time GRAMMY® Award-winning jazz vocalist Gregory Porter is coming back to South Africa later this year to thrill local fans with a three-city arena concert tour.

“Gregory Porter’s presence—both his commanding voice and heartfelt music—resonates deeply with South African audiences,” says Tony Feldman of Showtime Management. “We’re thrilled to welcome him back and to share his extraordinary talent with fans once again.”
AI is everywhere, and whether you’re trying to get ahead of it or just make sense of it, the noise is real. What if there was one place to cut through the hype? One summit where you could explore how AI is transforming your business, your career, and your life?
Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept, it’s already reshaping the way we work, hire, trade, treat illness, learn, and live. Whether you’re ready or not, AI is in your inbox, your sales pipeline, your investment strategy, your doctor’s office, your child’s classroom, and embedded in the data trails we leave behind every day.
Consider this: nearly 80% of hospitals now use AI to enhance patient care and streamline operations (Docus.ai – AI Healthcare Statistics, 2024). And according to McKinsey, generative AI could add up to US$4.4 trillion (R80 trillion) annually to the global economy. Yet as this powerful technology accelerates progress, it also raises urgent questions, about inequality, data privacy, misinformation, and the rapid disruption of entire industries.
Enter AI Empowered, a bold new summit inspired by EO Cape Town, designed to move beyond the buzzwords and into what’s actually happening now, and what’s coming by 2030.
Held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre CTICC on 7–8 August 2025, this two-day event features global and local thought leaders from companies like Google, Salesforce, MIT Centre for Collective Intelligence, Woolworths, Discovery, Amazon Web Services, Pepkor and more.
Hey Neighbour Festival 2025, initially set to take place this August, has been moved to December 2025. While the festival was set to feature world-class performances, including the highly anticipated appearances by Doja Cat, Central Cee, Black Coffee, and Leon Thomas, to name a few, the organisers have made the strategic decision to reschedule the festival in order to ensure its continued success and sustainability.
Hey Neighbour’s Glen Netshipise stated, “As CEO of Hey Neighbour Festival, I want to acknowledge the disappointment caused by the postponement of the 2025 event. We understand the impact this has on our loyal festival-goers, sponsors, and artists. We also recognise that our communication around the challenges we’ve faced hasn’t been as clear as it should have been, and for that, we sincerely apologise. Moving forward, we are committed to improving our transparency and communication, ensuring that everyone is kept informed as we work towards delivering an even better festival in December 2025. We truly appreciate your continued support and patience as we navigate these challenging yet exciting times.” He added “We are incredibly grateful for the support of our sponsors, artists, and attendees. Their faith in us is helping to ensure that we can deliver the best possible festival experience.”
