Arts Journalists (Durban, Port Elizabeth, Cape Town)

[Tiisetso Tlelima]

My name is Tiisetso Tlelima. I'm in the process of building a South African Arts and Culture website. I'm looking for contributers in Durban, P.E and Cape Town who are willing to write articles for free (I can only pay contributers when the website starts earning revenue). The website is intended to cover African arts, music, theatre, photography, film and TV which are ignored by mainstream media. Although the website will cover anything that has to do with arts and culture, the focus will be more on those we rarely see on mainstream media. Essentially we want to celebrate and critique African arts and culture. The website is due for launch end of July, but we are already hard at work trying to generate content. So if you are interested please contact me on [e-mail].

Hello Tiisetso,

I am a reporter from Cameroon, though with a background in Advertising and Health Communication. I very much appreciate your initiative and I dare say it very much falls in line with what my assocaition wants to do for Cameroon. So, how can we partner in such a laudable initiative? I am very interested! I guess you would love stories from Cameroon.

Thanks for your kind understanding. Hope to read from you soon.

[Sam Banda Junior]

Hey! My name is Sam Banda Jnr from Malawi. I am an Arts and Entertainment Journalist and would love to contribute stories on your website for free and when you are finally okey you can reward me. I have a story actually at the moment which talks about a group which dated Malawi known as Taliipot. They brought a ritual dance which left many speechless and I would like to share it. And I have more stories. My email address is [e-mail] or bandasamjnr @gmail.com.

Regards

Sam.
