English
Sihle Mthembu is a writer and journalist who was born in Mooi River in the Natal Midlands. After years of sleep addiction and goggling things as varied as fonts and the meaning of the phrase Junoesque, Mthembu enrolled into the Durban university of technology where he was both victim and perpetrator of various academic crimes. It was here that he graduated with a B-tech in journalism.
He has worked as an art critic, a business journalist and a churner of various types on online banter. His work has appeared in South African publications such as Rolling Stone SA, The Independent on Saturday, City Press, The Sunday Tribune, The Saturday Star, Mahala, One Small Seed and Pretoria News
Internationally he has been published in the UK’s The Northern echo. Mthembu is also the founder of the Cosi-Cosi Pop Up film festival which takes places annually in Durban. Currently he works for East Coast Radio in Durban and is co-host of the TV focused podcast, TwoGuysAndATelly.
His writing focuses on the failures and success of art as a tool for social change, feminist literary imaginings, race, gender identity and South African music and television history. Mthembu has also worked with various social development and education NGOs including The Democracy Development Programme, The Durban office of Alliance Francaise and the Tri-continental film festival. He has served as a coordinator for the Durban International film festival and served on the festival’s jury for 2013.
He is executive producer on a documentary about young inner city artist and creatives called Made in Durban, Which is scheduled for release in July 2014. Mthembu is also currently losing sleep contemplating a series of short stories about internet culture and a collection of humorous essays about the History of South African hip-hop.
