The glorified selfie.



Picture taken inside the recording studio @NACTV


You know, I'll never quite understand what it is about taking a selfie anytime of the day that just sets ones mod. I am predominately known as the "selfie queen" and I make absolutely no excuse for it, I will not deny it,I will never correct you, hell, I might even ask you too be in my selfie!

You see, the thing about owning a really good camera or cellphone is the fact that it takes beautiful pictures. Now, one might argue that there is more to life than just taking a random picture or a random selfie, and quite frankly you are 100% correct, but honestly speaking, what lasts longer than a picture? and a picture says a thousand words right?! 

Many people around the word hate taking pictures, they cant stand looking into a camera lens, and I totally respect that. What I'm not going to do is beg you to be in my selfie, I will respect the fact that you dont like taking pictures, but what I'm not going to do is let you make me fell less of a human being just for taking a selfie of myself. Quite frankly, I dont know whats so hideous about taking pictures anyway, yeah I know not everyone is picture perfect, and not everyone is camera ready but at least let us that love taking pictures be left in peace. And please, for the love of cheeseburgers, Stop looking at us weirdly when we pull out our cellphone. 


Sincerely: #SelfieQueen :)

  Veteran Broadcast Journalist hangs up her microphone. By Lisalee Solomons       Former broadcast journalist Leigh-Anne Jansen. Picture sourced from Leigh-Anne Jansen’s Instagram account.   When one talks about formidable journalists in South Africa, one cannot form a list of names and not have the incredible Leigh-Anne Jansen featured. Jansen, who is born and bred in Cape Town graduated from The Cape Peninsula University of Technology with a Diploma in Journalism and has not looked back since. She’s won the Vodacom Journalist of the Year award in 2013 for her outstanding reporting on the many different stories she’s had to cover over the years, so it’s still quite surreal to not see Jansen appear on our TV screens for news updates. I put out a call to Leigh-Anne to find out if she’d be keen to sit down with me for a one on one interview about her career, of course with any interview requests one has to sometimes wait days if not months for a response from the person w

Food crises remains a concern in Cape Town.   By Lisalee Solomons                                                           Picture Sourced: Lisalee Solomons, Cape Town  Since COVID19 hit the world globally, its no secret that many have had to resort to desperate measures in order to get food in their house considering that the lockdown period has caused many to lose their jobs. Some have now taken up the task of planting their own fruit and vegetables in their back garden instead of waiting for government to finally wake up and realise the hunger crises we faced with.  Food is a necessity! It is what is needed to make many of us function throughout the day. It should not be normal to see pensioners or young kids standing in long queues to get food for themselves during the day. We’ve seen a lot of this on our tv screens during the lockdown of many people in Cape town standing outside shelters with their own bakkies or plates waiting for food handouts from people and
