Must-watch trailer: Tiek Tok Boem!, an explosive doccie on Afrikaans TikTok

Showmax has just released the trailer for Tiek Tok Boem!, an explosive Showmax Original documentary set to premiere on 18 February 2025. This eye-opening 90-minute documentary takes a deep dive into the world of Afrikaans TikTokers who are pushing the platform to new – and often disturbing – levels. When most people think of TikTok, they picture fun dance challenges, viral memes, and endless laughs. But those days are over. A new wave of Afrikaans TikTokers is now dominating the local scene with their so-called “Drama Lives.” Some say ruling it, while others argue they’re ruining it. These live streams are far from your typical fun and games: they’re filled with cyberbullying, substance abuse, violence, explicit language, and, on occasion, even flushing your ex’s ashes down the toilet. Sadly, these chaotic broadcasts have already led to live-streamed suicide attempts.

Valentine’s Day: A Day Favouring Women

n my view, Valentine’s Day is just a normal day. Growing up, we were conditioned to believe it was a day on which men had to step up and prove their love through gifts and gestures. It was drilled into us that if you had a girlfriend, you had to buy her something. Something like flowers, chocolates, a teddy bear or whatever was trending at the time. And if you dared to show up at school without a gift, you would face the ultimate wrath. The disappointment, the silent treatment, and, of course, the infamous “So you don’t love me?” accusation. This was 20+ years ago, but has anything really changed? Fast forward to today, and it’s still the same story.

Rapper Kofi Mole has revealed that fellow rapper Sarkodie failed to show up for a video shoot of their collaborative song Makoma. According to him, repeated attempts to reach him had always proven futile.
