There's more to Cape Town than a mountain... make room for the Gatsby. A dish that has community written all over it!

"If you don't know what a gatsby is I don't know where you've been" said Cosy Corner's Yousri Hartley.The hallmark of any South African celebrity is their ab...

After Merweville’s recent rain, we received these photos from Andre Theron.
Hard to believe that when SLOW visited in October 2020 — to make a video about the drought — things looked completely different.

Here's to the dirty thirties 🇿🇦

Then vs Now
The 1930s Colosseum in Johannesburg was once a theatre for movies, concerts and stage shows. Complete with an orchestra pit!
But by the late 70s, suburban cinemas gained popularity. It closed its doors in 1985, got demolished, another office block was built and the space that was once a cinema turned residential.

The Julius Malema Paradox.
New SLOW video out now.

Julius Malema... who is the EFF's leader really. A dictator? A flip-flopper? The one who can lead South Africa to a better future under the banner of the EFF...

A little bit of Sax Appeal for you... This UCT RAG mag first saw the light in 1933. The first issue had an ad for electricity, when a fully electrified Cape Town was still a far-fetched idea. Over the years the satire and controversy have ruffled some feathers. The first issue banned was in 1942 because of a fictional story titled "Visit to a Nudist Colony".

There are two sides to the piracy issue.

At the end of 2023 Carte Blanche covered the one side.
Here's the other.

The two sides to the piracy issue. The rights holders not getting bang for their buck. And then there are the lost movies and shows...

It's the end of the road for 7de Laan (Amptelik), and in its death lies existential dread. A stark reminder that time is a limited gift.

The time of the Aiwa HiFi, before Spotify was a thing.

To understand the magic of the AIWA HiFi is to look at time backwards. In the late 90s and early 2000s we didn’t pay for music. We worked for it.

SLOW got mail from YouTube (or rather from Google)! And we don't know if the big guys did a literal take on our name and took their time, or if the snail mail joined a standstill somewhere between France and SA for the last 6 months.

But what we do know is that we want to thank all of you who have watched and subscribed to SLOW's YouTube channel. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! 💛
SLOW explains what South Africans love (and hate). Buckle up... because more explanations are coming your way!

Our closing lines in the video...
"The Springboks can’t be erased or silenced. Its impact can’t be replaced or duplicated.
Because it’s more than a sport.
Longer than just 80 minutes.
And bigger than a trophy."

South Africans and their love for the Springboks and Rugby are inseparable. But why - from the 1995 Rugby World Cup to today - does this sport have such a ti...
