Back to Claire

By all accounts October is proving to be a magnificent birthday month for Claire Mawisa. She recently sat down with Anele Mdoda and she gave us a glimpse into her life and the new phase of her career. Anele is a first rate talk show host whose insights into what the guest is saying give her interviews such depth. Enjoy the show. Update: Season 1 of Real Talk with Anele Mdoda is no longer available on You Tube.



Then of course there’s the November issue of Essays of Africa that hit the stands this week with yours truly on the cover!

This October day marks the beginning of the International Association of Women in Radio and Television (IAWRT) South African Chapter regional conference. The conference theme is African Women and the Media: Escaping the Prison of Portrayal.  

Claire’s participation was as a panelist explored the topic of ‘Including Women: Gender binary in South Africa.’ 

According to the Regional Coordinator, Mantedieng Mamabolo: “The conference brings together women journalist and documentary filmmakers from 12 member countries to initiate dialogue and share experiences in pursuance of IAWRT’s ongoing work to strengthen women’s voices in and through the media. Close to 50 women are attending the gathering, which constitutes different events.  The first is a Regional meeting on 26 and 27 October, the second on 27 and 28 October is a Gender Mainstreaming workshop and the third is HER Africa Film Festival, from 28 to 29 October, which will be hosted at the Bioscope Cinema and showcase films from African Women Filmmakers on the continent and diaspora.
