Connected for Purpose: How Kisima Radio and Vodacom Are Empowering Khayelitsha’s Women, Youth, and Entrepreneurs

In the heart of Khayelitsha, something powerful is unfolding. It’s not just about connectivity in the digital sense — though that’s certainly part of it. It’s about connecting people to opportunity, purpose, and each other.

This past weekend, the Isivivana Centre buzzed with energy as Kisima Radio, in partnership with Vodacom, hosted a Women in Business Community Dialogue under the theme “Connected for Purpose.” The room was packed with aspiring entrepreneurs, youth voices, and business leaders — all gathered for real talk, real community, and real opportunity.

“This is what happens when women support women and when community comes together. The energy was unmatched.”

The dialogue was hosted by Kisima Radio’s Nosipho Mahlanyana and featured an inspiring panel: Kirsten Burgess, Commercial Insights Manager at Vodacom; Bulelwa Mandyoli, Unbranded Channel Specialist at Vodacom; and Wendy Fulumeni Mhlaba, founder of Bakery of Hope, who shared her remarkable entrepreneurial journey.

More Than Just Talk: Taking the Next Step

But the conversation didn’t end when the microphones were switched off. Following the dialogue, Vodacom announced continued support for women in business and learners — because empowerment without tools is just inspiration without traction.

When the Bass Became a Heartbeat: A Thank You to the Architects of BM Carwash LEVELS

The afternoon sun hung low over BM Carwash LEVELS on Masemola Road, turning the puddles from the morning's rain into mirrors of gold. By 2 PM, the bass was already a living thing—a low growl that vibrated up through the soles of your shoes and settled in your chest.

Behind the decks, DJ Khaltsha was the conductor of a beautiful chaos.

Yesterday at BM Carwash LEVELS, you didn't just perform. You gave. You gave your time, your talent, and your soul to the dusty streets of Khayelitsha.

Because of you, a hip-hop event became a memory. Because you showed up, the youth saw what's possible. Because you spit those bars and sang those notes, for a few hours, nothing else in the world mattered except the rhythm.

Then came the shift. DJ Khaltsha glanced at the clock—4 PM—and slid the crossfader. Hip-hop melted into Amapiano, then Dancehall, then Afro, then RNB. The dancers took over.

Kevin Sujav moved like water, while KIDDŲ J and Lue Sodisa turned the dusty ground into a battle circle. Lee P and Sir Jaŷ traded bars like old friends trading secrets. Lish The Vocalist sang a note so pure that even the guys selling fat cakes stopped to listen. Kiuase and NBA Mthebu brought the fire, while Khali Karrency and Hoodified reminded everyone why Cape Town's sound is unbeatable.

As the sun bled into dusk, TummyGun RSA and JJi Flex Martin took the energy higher. Hazev Aiden closed a set that felt like a prayer. With Mtoz on production duty, every beat was a memory.

By late evening, when the last track faded, there were no strangers left. Only family.

A Deep & Heartfelt Thank You

To DJ Khaltsha — for being the conductor, for knowing exactly when to let the bass breathe and when to let it roar. You held the entire night in your hands and never dropped it.

To the MC who held the crowd together, who knew every name, every hype moment, every quiet pause — thank you for being the voice between the beats.

To the Photographers — especially Keepsake Media and Khayalethu Ndolela — you didn't just take pictures. You preserved moments. The sweat, the smiles, the sacred geometry of raised hands. Through your lenses, yesterday will never be forgotten. You captured the heartbeat.

To the entire Street Ntozz event photography team — thank you for showing up, for seeing the beauty in the dust and the gold in the puddles. You are the archivists of Khayelitsha's soul.

And to every artist who stepped onto that stage or that circle — Kevin Sway, Kiddy J, Lue Sodisa, Lee P, Sir Jay, Lish The Vocalist, Kiyase, NBA Mthebu, Khali Karrency, Hoodified, TummyGun RSA, Jiji Flex Martin, Hazey Aiden — you are the reason the ground shook.

Finally, Thank You for the Invite

To everyone who sent the word, who pulled a friend by the arm, who shared the location, who made sure the community knew — thank you for the invite. Because of you, strangers became family.

Because in Khayelitsha, music isn't a hobby. It's a heartbeat.

And yesterday, that heartbeat shook the ground.

HIP HOP // AMAPIANO // DANCEHALL // AFRO // RNB — five genres, one family, one unforgettable afternoon.
