The state of health care in the Eastern Cape is in a critical condition. Emergency workers are attending to cases without crucial equipment, unable to perform basic triage and often having to leave victims suffering without oxygen. The money is there, so surely the provincial department of health should be doing something about this? No, because everything you will see, according to the EC DOH Media Liaison, is apparently just ‘in your imagination…’ Take a look.

Over 1000 South Africans succumb to HIV/Aids related illnesses every day. As such, there are many desperate and dying people in this country, who are vulnerable to exploitation by various agents who practice under the guise of “traditional healers”. These people make traditional healing a money-making scheme when it should be about uBuntu. After speaking to genuine traditional healers and medical practitioners, we went in undercover to investigate the claims of “treating HIV/AIDS” made by one of these con-men.

Common Ground

A letter to Mandela
16×9 Productions 24min
Anthony Andrews, Joni Els, Rulleska Singh, Lindsey Thorpe


Common Ground revolves around Oatlands Preparatory School in Grahamstown, a place where people from all colours and collars meet. The documentary traces how far the country has come in terms of racial integration since 1994 by profiling four very different families at the school, those being the Ranchhod family, the Agnew family, the Griffiths family and the Ngcete family. Through these families and their children, viewers will get a glimpse of the diversity of the country, as well as the hopes, the unity and colour-blindness of the children.
