The spirit of generosity is alive and well in South Africa. It’s evident in the many selfless acts of kindness, large and small, that we witness people doing on a daily basis. This is the kind of generosity that Cadbury Dairy Milk would like to shine a light on; the need for connection, the spark to lift others up. Now, more than ever, we have the chance to bring about positive change. This time, by giving our most vulnerable – our children – the precious gift of childhood. Last year, this boundless generosity shone through as South Africans donated over 100 000 pre-loved toys, books and games to orphaned and vulnerable children via the Cadbury Dairy Milk ‘The Little Generosity Shop’ and ‘GenerosiTrees’ activations. At a time when this generous nature is truly needed, Cadbury Dairy Milk is once again calling on all South Africans to join forces to support orphaned and vulnerable children by facilitating their right to play. For a limited time, when you purchase one of five 80g...

This week’s episode of Castle Lite and Mzansi Magic’s Ultimate House Vibe has been regarded as one of the best episodes of the entire franchise thus far, shooting up the trends list in less than 10 minutes of the show’s airing. It was an epic episode if ever there was one. With this week’s theme being Material Culture, the King of the Skhothane movement, and the reigning Ultimate House Vibe King, Material Don Dada made a celebrity appearance as a guest judge. Don was there to judge the host’s ability throw an epic Ultimate House Vibe that is dripping with extra cold swag. Damien and Mbali went head-to-head as this week’s hosts; with Mbali winning the Unlocks Challenge after Damien deliberately lost the challenge, a choice that probably cost him the competition.
