Old presenters. Your looking for me then. What would you like to know about my days on ktv?

Its great that you didnt just go and eat and actually sat down with george

"Keke la keke"!

The end of the video kinda shows a sad compilation of how interns are not able or struggle to pull archival footages. It might be convinient for a intern to pull some "pirated" KZbin footage for a quick News report but it still shows how much SABC deals with themselves in a unprofessional manner. Well, it gets the the job in the end of the day done, neh? On some occasions, I did witness that they properly pull some archival footages of various shows for some new productions, meaning most of the content is pretty well digitalized and stored somewhere in their networks/servers but probably unorganized. A while ago, a popular KZbin by the name of ThioJoe, bought some episodes of The Generations off SABC to find a certain part where Rapulana Seiphemo character does the viral expression "Am I a Joke to you?" (the irony), but he had to buy a batch of episodes because he coulnd't guess in where this scene was. When he found it and posted it on KZbin, many fans of the show pointed out that they could simply tell him which episode it was and a few ppl had it actually taped. It's funny how that viral expression, known only as a picture, could be discovered in video many years later. And I got another embarrassing thing to tell, which I was unintentionally involved with "my pirated footage". A year ago, BET Africa created a 5 episode-part biopic of the late Mandoza. In the most important scene, that should serve as the climax of his career, which was the recording of his hit song Nkalakatha, they used that poor footage of his music video that I uploaded a few years back on KZbin. Rather asking the estate or the label or even the video director Lianne Cox, which they collaborated once on a Pale Ya Kosa documentary series last year, they really used my kak footage of Nkalakatha, which I myself am not impressed of. I was just trying to be the first person who uploaded the video (poor quality because I ripped it off from Facebook) because nobody, even Vevo or the label, has uploaded the video of a song that had A HUGE impact and crossed racial lines in the early 2000s. It be really a shame... see it yourself while this thing here lasts on KZbin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWXZqXV4aJeeeKcfeature=shared&t=2591 (and you can even hilariously see a spinning watermark on the right bottom corner)

Now what's left from South Africa Media in the 90s and 2000s is a void. And it's been really tough to fill the void with the footage and media, that carries memories and the stepping stones of this generation. Legacy media overseas is maintained and invested so much of it's previous generation film and music in reissues, remasters like remastered music videos by vevo and on-demand access on streaming platforms. (Except for the lack of Soul Train, which still hurts..). That creates a whole interest group and even promises new profits for the same cooperations. Despite of the current economic state we are aware of here, I know it's definitely a cooperate issue. Interns and the decision makers really lack the competence on the dynamics of their viewers. It is certainly true that Television significantly defined the post-apartheid generation than nowadays mobile phone generation, that absolutely are right now the minority of their viewer's demographics and lead to the decline of shows. About the handling of archived Jam Alley footage and other affected legacy media, I assume its a fest among many problems about music licenses, ownership between the production company and SABC, and contracts that promise residual royalities for the volunteers and artists if the certain media gets renewed (Normally SABC should have all rights beyond the expiration their contracts, but public backlash kinda hinders the continuation as it was with the case with SABC Encore)

What a informative and researched insight. I did not expect the demand of legacy media from somebody else than me. Jam Alley was truly the refuge for the youth after apartheid. Foreign media was way too oversaturated and very distinctly unfamiliar for the locals to be consumed at that time. It was there to cater and unify the local demographics with its locally brewed music such as 80s bubblegum and 90s house/kwaito, although it occasionally had overseas segments like the Nik Naks in between to inform about whats hip. Unfortunately, its really a shame how legacy media in such form isn't kept around. Shows nowadays trying to establish a youth scene among SA Hip Hop and Amapiano fans struggle to keep a presence on national television and are more internet sensations, as Television along is nowadays dying out. As a music enthusiast for SA musical past, it's difficult as well to gather much footage from the kwaito era, which leads to it's forgotten importance for SA music industry today. On a note, SABC tried to bring the nostalgic legacy media with it's co-channel SABC Encore, which unfortunately couldn't last because of royalty and contract disputes by former artists and presenters.

I still have the red nose plastic cup that changes colour when you put hot water in it 😂

This is my childhood - Die is my kinderheids. I enjoyed this, on only one tape - Ek het hierdie geniet, op net een tape.

thank you

Brooo this took me allll the way back!, daamm it was great back then if I could relive those moments, growing up is tough

Core memory unlocked❤

I remember this show loved it so many memories

What a beautiful documentary well done and so on point

She is so much Greater than Oprah in my opinion❤ we can hold our heads high. So proud of this 😊❤

Sherri-ffyyyy is a bow wow..Ohhhhhh!!! A bow wow,Yaaaaaaay!!!!!!

I wanted to be on there growing up😂. Nice video SLOW. You’ve just gained a new subscriber

Bro this has to be the worst video cover art of all time, when skipped past this video 4 times this weekend thinking it was a video about tech house or something kante it's about Jam Alley, I almost missed out on a jam video

What an awesome throwback!! #JamAlley ❤ #sabc1 :)

Thanks very much for the video. I am Dutch and own a farm in the KZN Midlands, would like to build in Cape Dutch style eventually. This is a little bit more info.

Omg mind blown that it was a translation

Highlight of your Friday night as a kid the 90's was the best

Dude, you killed this one!! Didn't know your channel existed until now. I've liked and Subscribed!!!

This is why real South African’s never wanted to leave South Africa 😂🤣….Man I feel sorry for those who missed it

The moment I saw Jam Alley I subscribed 😭😩….what else does your channel have

Fridays were always my favorites starting from Jam Alley then Ezimtoti then Studio Mix then midnight was Zero Hour Zone

Man we used to be a country 😢

I think SABC also lost Suburban Bliss Season 2

Incredible videl my brother. Well presented. Im loving this channel

Never seen a much researched piece of work from a south African channel such as yours. Well done

One of the reasons why I will never pay TV licence. Not only just for that. It goes deep.

As a Laaitie I dreamed of winning the Jam Blaster. Just never had the guts or talent to go on the show😂. Till this day, my friends call me Phashash because of the earlier show & my surname. Also had a crush on my teacher who looked like VMash especially the blond short fro and leather pants😂😂😂😂😂😂.

Well done, brother. This was incredible!

Lots of production houses around the world have lost footage of shows and movies, it happens. I dont like the undertone here framing the SABC as incompetent for this, sure they are incompetent for lots of other things, just that this is not some rare case. Very very very few around the world saw the digital age coming and had the foresight to DAP tapes to digital or to hang on to show rights. Keep in mind that copying tapes to digital was VERY expensive, its only recently that its cheaper and less time consuming. So sadly, whats done is done. Im grateful for the old shows they managed to get digital. The rest we can replay in memory. Nothing lasts forever.

Jam Alley is part of History in the entertainment industry that people don't 😢talk about these day

Wow 🥺 when job's were still available damn I miss the 90's🥺

Thank you for sending me down memory lane! Great mini doc

Nice one, but you missed Miss Jam Alley 😂

Slow is the best when coming to nostalgia South African TV documentaries

Fridays use to feel golden

We all collectively stopped trying as South Africans simply 'cause she's black, he's white, and they talk, walk, and do human funny. We allowed segregation to win, in segregation we 'thrive' in our shameful privileges, living in our beautiful prisons called homes... To fix South Africa, you have to completely change its culture (180 degrees); however, how do people let go of the only thing that defines them? They'd rather keep their stupid culture than grow as a collective, but no, this is mine, mine, and all mine. Dead people did this, so let us continue to live how our ancestors did in 1956 and keep blaming everyone else but ourselves. As a society, we've all contributed and continue to contribute to the downfall of our nation, and we must face the repercussions of our collective actions. - Black South African here (for context)

As a proud DA voter, I’m still waiting for Glencore to be mentioned. This is a company that made history with a record fine and was banned from the USA - yet Cyril Ramaphosa's friends, Glencore and Patrice Motsepe continue to be shielded. Corporate South Africa is the real power player here, and they are part of the same network as the current re-elected president of the Republic. a dom naai. Let’s be clear: if Jacob Zuma had committed any crimes, he’d have been arrested by now. It's baffling how one can accuse someone of committing crimes over 24+ years and fail to prove a single one. I don't like Zuma for personal reasons; however, if corporate South Africa was not involved in this, oh, trust me, Zuma was not gonna be allowed to see any light of day. Corporate South Africa is way more corrupt than what is reported in the mainstream media. They run the media, fund these brainless politicians, and monopolize every single thing they can. "To eat, we need to privatize and monopolize every basic human need; now let's break Eskom and all other state-owned enterprises!" yours sincerely, Corporate South Africa, CC: AU. That's the best and most heartless business model in the world: to deliberately break something that’s functioning perfectly, only to then profit from the cost and effort of fixing it at the expense of everyone else, but your inner circle. Dom citizens, with dom "leaders." Nothing new here... The blind leading the blind.

Thank you, South Africa, for the vibrant foundation of my youth, but shame on you for the current state of the nation today.

The new generation now has Playroom live on dstv 300 it's exactly like wildroom

We need all these good shows , am still hoping they will upload more on sabc+ app

Wow.. i was just thinking about Jam Alley, randomly. And here i find this video.
