The Return of 'WHEN WE WERE BLACK' And Cheaper Megabytes

* The TV drama series 'When we were Black' being back on our screens.It is screened on SABC 1 on Thursdays at 8.30pm.
Yes,it is a repeat.But repeats of this quality are always,always welcome.
This series is mainly about our recent dark past here in South Africa.But it is not just about apartheid,it is also about township life during this period of the 70s.I like how it covers the different strands of life in a typical township.You have your freedom fighters,bo-Modise.Then young lovers like bo-Fistos whose lives revolve just around being in love and his passion for the planetary system.You also have the 'small time tsotsi' element,who take out their frustration with the 'system'on fellow township residents.
In this past Thursday's episode I was really blown away by how 'umfundisi' did his bit to conscientise his congregation about taking action.He said there is a 'promised land' waiting for the people of Mzansi and they now have to 'take action' to get to this land.This analogy was totally out there.
The acting in here is sometimes so mesmerising you just don't want an episode to end.
The director and creator of this series - Khalo Matabane - has done a superb job in this recreation of our past.

"May you continue to entertain and make us think ntate Matabane."



* The movement towards cheaper internet gaining momentum.The country's two biggest network providers - MTN and Vodacom - suddenly announcing cheaper deals for their subscibers who use the internet.MTN's radio advert says something about one surfing(in their underwear) the internet the whole day for only R50.While Vodacom's print advert promised up to 60% of free megabytes for each category of megs bought.For example,if one buys 20 megs for R28 you get an additional 10 megs for free.
This trend towards more affordable internet can only be good.
