Stelcon is back after 6 years. The Guild’s annual fan convention was held on the weekend of 9 and 10 August in Stellenbosch Town Hall. It hosted events such as a cosplay competition, a Magic: The Gathering tournament, and even a quiz with a R1000 prize. It was also an opportunity for local and up and coming artists to sell their arts and crafts.

Never in my life have I had the urge to watch physical theatre. The lack of intellectual dialogue and the overcompensating choreography has simply never seemed appealing to me. So, I’m ashamed to admit that I walked into the Adam Small theatre on Tuesday 22 July to watch the Première Festival’s Fluid Frames, expecting to be disappointed.

Service dogs provide crucial help for their handlers. Despite a strict selection process and intensive training, humans interacting with service dogs can affect their performance. People with disabilities with service dogs often have to deal with unsolicited pats and treats from strangers distracting their dogs. This can cause inconvenience or even harm.

Last week, Sunday 9 August, another Women’s Day was commemorated. From the iconic day in 1908 to 2025, women still carry the legacy of those 15,000 women who took to the streets in New York to protest for shorter hours, better pay and voting rights.

Hierdie jaar vier die Afrikaanse taal sy 100ste bestaansjaar as amptelike taal. Maar soos die Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees oor en oor bewys het, praat kuns nooit net een taal nie. Dis juis die veelstemmigheid en die kruisbestuiwing tussen Afrikaans, Engels, isiXhosa en soveel ander tale wat die fees so uniek maak. En asof dit nie genoeg rede is om te vier nie, word die Woordfees self 25 jaar oud. Van ’n deurnag-poësie-eksperiment in 2000 tot een van die grootste kunstefeeste op die vasteland, het die Woordfees gegroei tot ’n platform waar letterkunde, musiek, teater, visuele kuns en gesprek mekaar vind. Die geskiedenisboek van die Woordfees is gevul met jare se stories en kunste in alle vorme.

Oh shock, oh horror, it’s House Dance season in Stellenbosch. While it can definitely be the highlight of the semester, it can easily turn into the story of the infamous date you maybe-sort-of-didn’t-really-know that ended up being the worst pick you’ve ever made. But how to avoid being the main character in a tale of house dance horror?  If you find yourself doing the following things, you might just be the problem…

Energy pulsed through the Coetzenburg Indoor Centre on Friday 1 August as Maties hosted UWC in a long-awaited basketball doubleheader. With memories of a USSA loss still fresh, students flooded in, eyes set on redemption. As the DJ played and chants echoed off the walls, the air was charged with hope. But only one team would leave with their story rewritten.
