The Creator: Meet the people shaping today's headlines
Who’s behind the moments you remember? The Creator tag collects stories about the people driving big events — athletes, lawyers, politicians, artists, and everyday figures whose choices change the story. If you want short reads that show the human side of a headline, this page is for you.
Here you’ll find a mix of profiles, courtroom battles, match-winning moments, and tense political moves. Want a sports spark? Read how Ben Shelton stormed into the National Bank Open final or how Bukayo Saka lit up a Singapore friendly against AC Milan. Prefer politics or justice? There are pieces on Advocate Malesela Teffo standing up during the Senzo Meyiwa trial and on President Ramaphosa’s controversial cabinet shake-up.
Why these stories matter
Events are one thing. The people behind them explain why they happened. A coach’s choice, a lawyer’s grit, a player’s form — those details change outcomes for fans, voters, and communities. Our Creator stories show motivations, pressure, and the small decisions that lead to big results. That’s why coverage ranges from courtroom hearings to transfer rumours and stadium moments.
Take the Mbenenge tribunal story: it’s not just about procedure. It’s about how a judge’s conduct affects trust in courts. Or look at Novak Djokovic’s sudden Australian Open exit — it sparks talk about career choices and what a top athlete faces when the body says stop. These angles help you understand the fallout, not just the headline.
How to use this tag
Use the Creator tag to follow people, not just topics. Click a name you care about to see related coverage — match reports, profile pieces, legal updates, and reaction stories live in one place. You can track athletes like LeBron or Jamie Vardy, follow legal battles, or watch political moves such as the DA deputy minister firing and its ripple effects in coalition politics.
We keep pieces short and easy to scan. Expect clear facts, direct quotes, and fast context so you can form an opinion quickly. If a story needs deeper background, we link to past coverage so you can read the full arc.
Want notifications? Follow the tag or sign up for alerts to get fresh posts when a creator makes news. Prefer social? We share quick hits on our channels when a story breaks — from an X outage caused by a data centre fire to a last-minute goal that decides a title race.
