Howzit - With Amahle Jaxa

If you’re chronically online, then you’ve probably come across the woman with the signature greeting: “Howzit guys…” and a rundown of what’s going on in the country (and the world) in a way that’s actually understandable.In this episode, Sena and Stacy sit down with Amahle-Imvelo Jaxa, the rising TikTok current affairs creator, commentator, and all-around cultural force. We unpack her journey from growing up in the Eastern Cape to starting up the events giant Until Until, and her unique knack for turning complicated political moments into accessible, humorous, and insightful content.We talk about the emotional toll of showing up online, the dangers of misinformation, the apartheid history of censorship, and why media literacy and accessibility are more critical than ever. We also dive into her experience as a young Black entrepreneur creating safe spaces in Johannesburg’s iconic groove culture, and what it means to center black joy.Oh, and there are plenty of laughs along the way. Because if you’re going to talk about civic education, anti-racism, and political chaos, you might as well do it in Full Colour.Chapters:0:00-4:50 - Red nails and laughs04:51-6:22 - Journey to the city of gold06:23-14:40 - “we just wanted to throw a party”14:41-17:49 - Diversity at parties17:50-31:08 - Politics is low key hilarious 31:09-41:27 - Creating difficult content on social media 41:28-49:19 - Racist stories we get over too quickly49:20-55:34 Handling ops55:35-end - Game: real or fake?
