WOW!! I didn’t think I made that much of an impact in the entertainment industry, but anyway... my contribution to the industry is to make people forget about their worries and make them relieve their stress on the dance floor.
2. We want to know the person behind the camera, behind the DJ Set. You’ve been described as quiet but loud, shy, a hard worker, and a total sweetheart. Who is DJ Fanatic?
LOL!! Well I’m not sure about the “quiet but loud” part but the rest does really explain what type of a person I am... Fanatic (born Thabiso Maphutse) is a humble young up and coming DJ from Vosloorus (Ekurhuleni) who’s life basically revolves around music whether its house or hip hop
3. “Aspire to Inspire before we Expire” what does this quote mean to you?
To me it means that before you die, make sure that during your time on earth you have shared your experiences with other people who want to follow the same path as you in life (Positive direction I hope). You will be remembered, and leave a good mark in peoples’ hearts.
The fact that you are not the only DJ in the industry and that there’s someone out there who wants a slice of the cake in the game. In order to overcome them you need to find ways of staying relevant at all times. Please your crowd, try to be unique and try to keep your promoters happy. Practise and make sure that you don’t treat it as your hobby but as your career..
5. IceCream Magazines Chief Editor – Yaya was at the Cheese kids’ #Mandela67 event and spotted you there. How important is giving back to society, especially those that are less privileged to you?
YEAH!! Had to do my 67min for Madiba, crutches and all after my car accident... giving back to the community is very important but it shouldn’t just be done on #MandelaDay. Whenever we have time we should give our time to the less privileged to remind us how lucky we are to be where we are whereas some people don’t have the ability to do such things.
This is probably what everyone says when asked to give advice but in all honesty it’s true! We need to stay in school... Education is important. Every industry has a bit of education that’s needed in order for things to go according to your plan. Graeme Swanepoel

The inspiring Graeme Swanepoel agreed to sit down with Ice Cream Mag and have the interview done.
1. Who is Graeme?
I’m a film director/producer, and co-founder of NV Pictures. I specialise in reality content, commercials and music videos. But I am looking to get into feature film pretty soon... I created and directed shows such as CREAMCARTEL and RUNNING WITH REPS. I promote local celebrities through youth based street culture through our shows, and want to put the SA entertainment industry on an international spotlight.
2. Describe yourself in 10 ways.
Crazy, Fun, Creative, Mlungu (white person), Social, Inspired, Street, Chilled, Local, Love
3. Aspire to Inspire before you expire.
You have to inspire people around you in order to make a difference. Whether it’s on a small or large scale, creative’s seek to inspire, as it’s that inspiration that makes a difference in the world.
4. July is known worldwide because of our former president - Nelson Mandela. on the 18th of July it was his birthday. What did you do for Mandela Day and how did you spend your 67min??
| Graeme |
It was my birthday!! Madiba and me baby!!! So to be deadly honest with you. I took it totally chilled (bad example I know)
5. Where to from here??
Some ground breaking reality shows that will expose SA culture to the rest of the world. We want the USA to take avid interest in SA / African culture as we have stories here that are unique, that need to be shown on an international platform... That and a feature film.
