Viral Wednesday: Janet Mbugua Labor Pains Prank, Documentary on #FeesMustFall movement and more!
Shutting Down the Rainbow Nation - #FeesMustFall
Students shook the South African nation to its very core this week as protests swept across campuses. “Shutting Down the Rainbow Nation” is a ten minute documentary that captures the energy and heart of the student-led movement, which shut down higher education institutions around the country. It speaks to the policing of the black body, state violence, and the fall of the ‘rainbow nation’, sewn together with videos posted by the public on Twitter and Facebook throughout the shutdown. History was re-written this week, as it became clear that even though the revolution may not have been (adequately) televised, it was certainly tweeted.
Watch the documentary here:
Janet Mbugua Prank
Congratulations should surely go to Citizen TV’s Hussein Mohammed on how well he handled the labor pains prank from co-host, Janet Mbugua. The clip is worth watching it although one wishes Janet Mbugua would have extended the prank that was aired live on National TV on her final show before she heads on maternity leave.

If you are a 90’s baby or late 2000, then you remember that Rafiki Pesa (money lover) track our mothers would play every morning so loudly to wake up the neighbors. Ironically, the message was always directed at somebody. Well Eric Omondi remixes this vintage track with Diamond’s Number One.
