Originally from Cape Town, Soso moved to Johannesburg in 2018 after completing his studies at the College of Magic, where he spent seven years learning the art of magic alongside mime, clowning, juggling and performance skills.

Since then, he has performed magic shows around South Africa, won magic competitions and built a following through his performances.

But his work goes beyond entertaining audiences. Every Tuesday, Soso works with Reach For A Dream at Steve Biko Academic Hospital, using entertainment to bring moments of joy to children who are seriously ill, including children living with cancer and those who have spent long periods in hospital.

Our focus is on Pigeon Universe and two individuals who are making their mark in South Africa’s pigeon racing community Anees Kathrada and Fareed Kathrada.

Anees Kathrada is an active competitive fancier in the South African pigeon racing circuit. Flying out of the South Western Homing Society, or SWHS, under the Transvaal Racing Pigeon Federation, TRPF, Anees manages his own loft and competes across some of the country's most challenging routes from fast-paced short sprints to gruelling endurance races covering more than 600 kilometres. He is also nationally registered with SANPO.

Then there is Fareed Kathrada, a key figure in South Africa's pigeon racing community — both in the skies and behind the scenes.
So, whether you're already a pigeon-racing enthusiast or you're hearing about this fascinating sport for the first time, let's get into the world of racing pigeons, competition, preparation and the business behind the birds.

comments come amid ongoing scrutiny of Madagascar’s

The Princess says the community has been without a recognised king for several years because a long-running succession dispute has not been resolved. She claims a Commission of Inquiry investigated the matter and made recommendations, but says the Presidency has not provided a way forward. As a result, she argues, the Bapo people have been left without recognised leadership.

The Princess also alleges that the leadership vacuum has affected how the community's platinum-rich mineral resources are managed, creating opportunities for corruption. These allegations have not been proven in court or confirmed by the Presidency.
