Manage episode 311830388 series 3146715
In our third episode of the second season of This Audio is Visual, we have Ayanda Charlie sitting down with Sabelo Mkhabela. Sabelo is the current South African Arts and Culture Editor for OkayAfrica. In this episode, he unwinds his tumultuous journey to being a contemporary cultural writer who doubles as a photographer. However, Sabelo does not consider himself to be a photographer, the title ‘visual documentor’ sits more comfortably.
He engages guest Ayanda Charlie about his journey from UCT student to hip Hop culture connoisseur in South Africa. Sabelo speaks warmly about how hard he has worked to find his niche through writing about the world of Hip Hop politics in South Africa. He has worked for The Mail & Guardian, The Fader and LiveMagSA. He has been mentored by industry greats such as Lindokuhle Nkosi and Joonji Mdyogolo who have shaped how he sells himself and his ideas to publications.
“If you really really are about the shit you say you are about, you will know more than the layman or laywoman.”
Ayanda Charlie is a Digital Media Producer and Communications Manager. Charlie is also one half of collective duo Thesis ZA. In 2019 Thesis made the Mail and Guardian Top 200 Young South African list.
