    INTERVIEW: NIANELL ON HER NEW BOOK - A Song That’s Yet Unsung
    Mar 13 2026
    On today’s edition of Styleskoops, Nianell has just brought out her teaching memoir, A Song That’s Yet Unsung—When Nothing is Known, Anything is Possible, published by Reach Publishers. In it, she takes us from platinum-selling hits like Who Painted the Moon? all the way through heartbreak, motherhood, and a profound spiritual awakening, inviting us to remember our inherent worth and choose love over fear. What makes this book truly unique is that it’s not just read – it’s experienced – with 30 original songs embedded via QR codes that turn every chapter into a multi-sensory journey. Joining us now on Styleskoops is Nianell.

    INTERVIEW: WESLEY ROODT ON HIS DEBUT NOVEL - ALL THE SAINTS
    Feb 2 2026
    On this week's Styleskoops, we speak to Wesley Roodt, Chevening scholar, filmmaker, and educator, whose debut novel, All the Saints, brings the gale-force gees of an Eastern Cape boys’ school to the page in a voice that is as funny as it is devastating. Through Isaac “Izzy” Kingston’s confessional narration, the book plunges readers into rugby fields, overnight excursions, and the quiet corners where overachievement, fear, and queerness collide in contemporary South Africa.

    Following World Mental Health Day, conversations around emotional wellbeing continue to resonate—especially in the rural heartlands of South Africa, where innovation often emerges from necessity. One such story comes from the Eastern Cape, where One to One Africa’s CHIME initiative—Community Health Intervention through Musical Engagement—is using music as a powerful form of mental health care. Today on StyleSkoops, we speak with Emma Chademana, who shares how Mentor Mothers are transforming their lived experiences into healing songs—songs that soothe trauma, strengthen community bonds, and redefine what holistic health care can sound like.
