The Foxy Five

October 2015 was an explosive moment for South Africa in which the country’s youth, disillusioned with Rainbow Nation rhetoric, rose up in revolution. For fiction filmmaker and young Cape Town creative, Jabu Nadia Newman, #FeesMustFall sparked the forthcoming web series, The Foxy Five.
                                                                          
The Foxy Five is a squad of five young South African femmes who are plotting the revolution ––Unity Bond played by Duduza Mchunu, Prolly Plebs played by Qiniso van Damme, Blaq Beauty played by Tatenda Wekwatenzi, Femme Fatale played by Qondiswa James and Womxn We played by Nala Xaba. You can expect the team to deliver a humorous yet thoughtful concoction of race, class, gender and sexuality.
 
“Fees Must Fall was a time when I was feeling very helpless and unable to process how I was feeling,” Nadia Newman tells Okayafrica from her lounge in Woodstock, Cape Town, the creative and restorative melting pot for The Foxy Five. It was also when she felt the most creative. “I was learning about so many new concepts that I’d never understood or heard before, and I was hearing it from people who were my age and who looked like me.”
