   Shudufhadzo Musida talks advocacy, beauty and identity

   In this episode of the Wanted Podcast, we bring you a conversation about beauty through the lens of identity, spirituality, and a calm, regulated nervous system as the ultimate beauty hack. Wanted contributor Mathathle Stofile sits down with Shudufhadzo Musida, host of the Mindful Mondays podcast, author, global advocate for women, children, and mental health, and former Miss South Africa (2020), who is currently studying international finance and economic policy at Columbia University. In this conversation, they talk about the importance of speaking up, holding on to childhood values as one navigates the world, lessons learnt from the blind confidence of Americans, and the magical superpowers of eight-year-olds. Shudu also shares her go-to rituals that never fail to make her feel beautiful. Remember to like, subscribe, share, and talk about the podcast, so our work can reach as many of you as possible.

   From natural hair to a new kind of ‘welth’

   In this episode of the Wanted Podcast, after a bit of a hiatus, we bring back Wanted Beauty, with a conversation between our beauty contributor Mathahle Stofile and Taryn Gill, a beauty and wellness entrepreneur. Gill is the founder of the natural haircare brand The Perfect Hair. Launched a decade ago, the brand has built a loyal following among women of colour who choose to wear their natural kinks, curls and waves proudly and is available in over 600 stores. In this conversation she talks about scale, natural hair fatigue, partnerships, survival and her latest pivot into the world of well-being.

   In the Spotlight: FNB Art Prize winner Thato Toeba

   In this episode, as we enter September, the traditional arts & culture month in Johannesburg, we bring you an art conversation. Recently, the recipient of the 2025 FNB Art Prize was announced. The prestigious annual prize – which comes with a hundred thousand rands, exhibition space at FNB Art Joburg and a solo show at the Johannesburg Art Gallery – has been awarded to Thato Toeba, a Lesotho national just five years into their art career. Toeba’s interest in the social sciences, identity, power, justice, history, and share of voice, informs their mixed media photomontage and assemblage. In selecting Toeba as this year’s recipient, the jury recognised their work as exuding a quiet force, deployed with clarity and rich materiality, which demonstrated as much commitment to process as to meaning. In our recent conversation, we spoke about how they came from being a practising lawyer, studying towards a PHD, to bagging one of the continent’s most desirable art prize. We spoke about the Lesotho of their formative years; corruption; how they developed their practice from a photography habit and an organic childhood flair for collage and what is still to come from an extraordinary talent.
