Khalysa’s soulful voice moves through rock, pop, R&B, soul, blues, indie, and country. Lendelane channels the spirit of 2Pac, Juice Wrld, and ###Tentacion into his own lyrical journey of struggle and self-discovery. Both artists turn pain into power—celebrating freedom, resilience, and truth. Ntirhisano is an antifascist community space where creativity meets resistance.

🎬 RADICAL FILM SCREENING: COLD CASE HAMMARSKJÖLD. In 1961, UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld died in a mysterious plane crash while confronting the exploitation of Africa’s minerals. This explosive documentary digs deep into the truth — exposing a covert apartheid network, SAIMR, possibly tied to his assassination. Beyond Hammarskjöld’s death, the film also explores disturbing claims of a deliberate spread of HIV among Black Africans through fake medical aid — a claim still widely debated in scientific and activist circles today.📍 Ntirhisano Community Centre, 515 Albert Rd, Salt River, Cape Town 📅 Sat, Oct 11 | 6–9:30 PM ✊🏿 All welcome — Pay what you can (R20–R100). Watch. Reflect. Organize. The struggle continues!
