Kgomotso Matsunyane – producer, writer, talk show host and partner of T.O.M Pictures. Born and raised in Zone 9 Meadowlands, Soweto, Kgomotso first attended boarding school in Botswana, then went to college in the U.S.. She is easily the most talkative person in Africa, hence her talk show, but less text from me and more video from her…
OK, so despite this s*#ty recession and our current state of affairs, Kgomotso is managing to stay afloat, producing seasons 9 & 10 of Soul City. Her talk show is our own special flavour Letterman, Leno or O’Brien – the wonderfully african Late Night With Kgomotso, T.O.M. Pictures, of which she is partner, have completed another fantastic season of A Place Called Home, AND they're working on a number of local feature films, just go to T.O.M’s website, it’s all there. BUT it was bad timing when I asked her to share some advice to budding filmmakers as this interview was shot just before the TVIEC marched against our local broadcaster, led amongst others by yes - Kgomotso, here it is…
At first her advice to was “get a real job” followed by lungs of laughter, but second time round she hammered it…
I like that, lungs of laughter, that's my first alliteration since high school ;) Things are undergoing change at the SABC, 9 of 10 board members have resigned, the government will now have to bail out their debt, if you want to know more then either google "TVIEC" or try chat to Kgomotso on Facebook, she’s in the know. OK, so, politics…
If you ever do want to get back into politics girl, you got my vote. Last one, Africa rocks because…
Kgomotso, you rock J
