Tinyiko Mageza, Executive Manager of Marketing at the V&A Waterfront says, “Over the years the V&A Waterfront has served as a platform for creative expressions, be it through its successful buskers’ program, its Art in Public program, and being home to Africa’s largest museum of contemporary art, the Zeitz MOCAA. The V&A Waterfront’s Good Night Friday’s is a podcast made for the curious by the curious. It is a platform that takes a deeper dive into the sub-cultures that shape popular culture. We do so by creating an authentic space for conversations that shine a spotlight on the creative people of this vibrant city and our waterfront neighbourhood.”
