The 6th and final episode of season 2 features Bantu Mahlangu, a Johannesburg based photographer. Mahlangu extensively documents events and the entertainment space in South Africa. A friend of his opened him to the idea of potentially studying at the Market Photo Workshop because he always carried a camera on him. Since then, Mahlangu has worked with top musicians Urban Village, Msaki, J Molley and Sampha The Great to name a few. In this episode, Mahlangu takes us through his photography journey from student to professional.
For the latest episode of This Audio Is Visual, our guest co-host Sabelo Mkhabela sits down with rapper and art director @ByLwansta (please always say the “By”) to chat about the importance of visuals and rollouts. With album art reduced to a mere thumbnail in the internet age, ByLwansta believes rollouts are more important now than ever as artists are competing with memes, selfies and other kinds of user generated media. As we have this conversation about the importance of a thorough rollout and visuals, the artist is in the middle of an impressive rollout for a new single titled “asmr”.

In this episode of TAIV, @AndyMkosi sits down with Keabetsoe Makgoane to take a deeper look behind the intention of their photography. Kea who was born and bred in the South of Johannesburg speaks about how their heritage can always be found in their photography.
Kea started their photography journey in 2018, the following year they joined the Market Photo Workshop. Their current style is portrait photography, where they use their family and friends as their collaborators.

In our third episode of the second season of This Audio is Visual, we have Ayanda Charlie sitting down with Sabelo Mkhabela. Sabelo is the current South African Arts and Culture Editor for OkayAfrica. In this episode, he unwinds his tumultuous journey to being a contemporary cultural writer who doubles as a photographer. However, Sabelo does not consider himself to be a photographer, the title ‘visual documentor’ sits more comfortably.
He engages guest Ayanda Charlie about his journey from UCT student to hip Hop culture connoisseur in South Africa. Sabelo speaks warmly about how hard he has worked to find his niche through writing about the world of Hip Hop politics in South Africa. He has worked for The Mail & Guardian, The Fader and LiveMagSA. He has been mentored by industry greats such as Lindokuhle Nkosi and Joonji Mdyogolo who have shaped how he sells himself and his ideas to publications.
“If you really really are about the shit you say you are about, you will know more than the layman or laywoman.”
Ayanda Charlie is a Digital Media Producer and Communications Manager. Charlie is also one half of collective duo Thesis ZA. In 2019 Thesis made the Mail and Guardian Top 200 Young South African list.
