Temba Bavuma: We just didn’t pitch up today
Proteas captain Temba Bavuma has admitted that his team was outplayed by the Australians in the third and final One Day International, as they went down by a massive 276 runs.
Soweto-born dance choreographer and entertainer Miss Hilary has made a name for herself by breaking it down to Limpopo dance music icons, Makhadzi and Sho Madjozi.
Real name Tinyiko Hilary Khoza, the 25-year-old unpacks to Sowetan how she's preserving her heritage through a blend of music, dance, fashion and culture.
How did you carve your way into the industry?
Forging my own path wasn't an easy feat. I always bear in mind the importance of staying true to who I am and what I want to share with the world. It's about telling my stories, expressing my truth and connecting with people in ways that feel genuine. I want my music, performances and image to reflect my roots, my experiences and the vision I hold for the future.
I admire Sho Madjozi for the way she has carried our culture into new spaces and Makhadzi for how she celebrates Venda culture while uniting our tribes.
How are you preserving your heritage through your craft?
I grew up surrounded by the richness of African traditions – music, dance, clothing and beautiful stories. From an early age, I understood that culture is alive, but only if we keep breathing life into it. Digital platforms may seem modern, but they can be powerful tools for preservation.
My passion comes from wanting the next generation to see that our culture isn’t something stuck in the past.
Your four-year plan include an album, tours and The Hilary Foundation. Give us a breakdown.
The Hilary Foundation holds a special place in my heart. I want it to be a platform where young people, especially women, can access opportunities in the arts, education, and entrepreneurship.
I know what it feels like to have talent but lack the resources or the network to make it flourish. The foundation is my way of making sure others don’t face those same barriers.
