Hello hello! I’m here to share my beautiful ocs! From left to right we have: Kitty (jumping off), Karlos (climbing the tayaki while judging his sister), Gardenia (at the very top), Idyllic (below her looking at a fruity pebble), Emery (swinging himself from the spoon) and Evan (trying to catch Emery). I’m trying to draw my ocs more. I love them for being with me for over 20 years. I’m going to share them with everyone 🧡🧡🧡! Oh and Skeem is my vicious cat. Yes in universe she started her own brand of dessert 🤣

Bear this is a bout the ask game and about that guy you are obsessed with -seen. So questions 9, 15 and 18 I think?

i am cry-laughing, the man's name is sKeen ... do i have to post more about him. because i will!! this is a threat :3

9. Could you be roommates with this character?

actually I am a horrible roommate, but this might work out. Skeen seems like someone who works nights and doesnt use the kitchen much. We could hang out on the balcony and not talk for a while. He would probably like 70s rock music. I think we'd have some good times.

15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

Nemik/Skeen of course. There's something between them in all the scenes they share, they really have spend a lot of time together and gotten to know each other too well, probably. The scene where Skeen gives Nemik a piece of food? What's that ABOUT? i think about this all the tine. They made the two characters as two foils for Cassian in a way, the two sides on the rebel spectrum, and they do fit together exceptionally well. Also, getting personal here, I actually identify a lot with both of them, like two directions in my own life. I also wouldn't mind a bit more Cassian/Skeen. They should fuck.

18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?

I am intrigued with the relationship with Vel! Skeen does respect her authority, but then also probably stretches her commands a bit for his own gain (like when he searches Cassian's stuff). It all comes down to Skeen's ulterior motives, doesn't it? Did he join up just to steal the money from the start - then of course he would follow her lead and not make waves. But we see him sitting by the side, being rude and kind of obnoxious on the team briefing as well. There's a real dynamic for me, there, not only something fake. I think Skeen is a natural follower, and Vel does make it easy for him to follow, even if she doesnt get everything right the first time. Much to think about.

Milli Major - Skeem Set Pt. 2 ft. JME, Scorcher, SeriousXSyikes & Crazy Titch

Milli Major has been holding Grime down for a while now, with an array of content from a short movie, music and events, but ultimately the uniting a host of acts within the genre has to be applauded, with Skeem Set Pt. 2 being another great example of his position in the game. Few can bring together legends like JME, Scorcher & Crazy Titch with the addition of SeriousxSyikes, if any, over the…

Murderers of Skeem Saam Actress's Mom and Grandmom Arrested!

The murderers of Skeem Saam actress’s mom and gradmom have been arrested! Skeem Saam actress and presenter Amanda Manku has confirmed that the suspects who killed her mother and grandmother are behind bars. Apparently, one of the suspects arrested for the gruesome murder is her father.

It’s been reported that Amanda Manku’s father, William Manku, who is a police captain, appeared before the Lebowakgomo Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, January 10.

Amanda Manku released a statement yesterday to confirm that the three people who were charged have now been arrested in connection with the murders.

“On 10 January 2024, three suspects appeared in the Lebowakgomo Magistrates Court in connection with the murder of 2 women, aged 70 and 45.

The mother and daughter were shot and killed by unknown men on 04 May 2021 at Makgophong Village, Zebediela.

In light of these events, we have been inundated with media requests which we wish to address through this statement.

The family can now confirm that three suspects have been arrested in connection with the case.

This is a difficult time for the family, but we are trusting the SAPS and Judicial System to run its course as is necessary to bring the matter to a close.

We wish to thank the public for their support during this time.”

According to the Limpopo Chronicle, David Khoza, a 40-year-old Mozambican national suspect, was arrested on January 8 at the Lebombo Port of Entry (POE) in Mpumalanga. He was attempting to cross over to Mozambique. [Source: The South African]

It is without a doubt that she will find peace knowing that justice has been served.

African Dystopia: South Africa's Dispositions Depicted in Selected Telenovelas

South Africa's popular television shows, such as Skeem Saam, The River, and Scandal!, are marked by the social and cultural dispositions in South Africa. These dispositions, I argue, edify what I theorise as the 'African Dystopia' complacent in African communities. In this essay, I argue how the theory of 'African Dystopia' is applicable to selected South African television shows. I signpost two popular television shows, Skeem Saam and The River to argue this theory and refer to significant scenes that edify the theory of African Dystopia.

The theory of 'African Dystopia' suggests that the selected television shows depict a bleak and rather oppressive reality within African communities. I would therefore argue that this depiction is evident with the way(s) characters such as Dimpho Mokoena (played by Matshepo Sekgopi)[before morphing into Kalashnikov 2.0], Thuso Mokoena (played by Presley Chweneyagae), Mabuto Dimba (played by Thembinkosi Mthembu) and Jacobeth Thobakgale (played by Elizabeth Serunye) struggle with poverty as a plague in their communities, the secondary ramifications corruption, and the various landscapes of violence. These, are in essence, overarching themes applicable in both Skeem Saam and The River which showcase the challenges South Africans face on a regular basis in post-apartheid South Africa.

I further advance the theory of African Dystopia by arguing that The River explores the marginalization of black South Africans; the mine and Refilwe being a site for the marginalization of black South Africans. To elaborate on this further, the establishing shots innovatively captured by the drone(s) when scenes transition to these sites are (re)presentations of the ongoing marginalization of black South Africans. At this point, one can assume that the creators of this show, Phathu Makwarela, and Gwydion Beynon will end the show by applying Slavoj Žižek's theory of Symbolic and Systematic Violence. In addition, I would also include the Cycle of Oppression as a theory applicable in the (re)presentations of marginalized black South Africans.

African Dystopia in Skeem Saam can be traced to two important scenes. First, we [the spectator] witness the challenges Leshole Mabitsela (played by) Thabo Mkhabela experiences towards his 'dream' of becoming a pilot - a site of escapism. In essence, escaping from the cycle and I would argue, the 'generational curse' of poverty. It begs one to question whether the notion of escapism suggests that it is a reality marked by Western ideology and way(s) of living that contrasts African individuality.

In a technical sense, African Dystopia is captured in the establishing shots (both in Skeem Saam and The River), as well as the close-up and medium-close-up of characters who are victims of this African Dystopia. It would be very innovative and compelling if the cinematographer or Director of Photography would make use of over-the-shoulder shots (which we only witnessed in the opening of Season 2's The Republic), single-shot sequences, especially when drama unfolds, and substituting cameras with drones when panning from angle to angle. With these techniques in place, not only would our stories look better visually, but they also might offer a new insight into the African Dystopia which is the common theme running through all these dramas. For example, the use of over-the-shoulder shots would help an audience be immersed into characters' experiences more deeply in their suffering. Additionally, single-shot sequences during high moments of drama would give a sense, of the "hurry-up and wait" feeling as it were—which then heightens what on screen comes up as an emotional impact. Last but not least: exchanging a television camera for drones means that over long and sometimes very long panoramas, a dynamic quality of imagery comes streaming in—another vibrant reminder that this place called Africa is after all indeed a huge complex place.
