DJ ANG is creating a list of toxic men she refuses to work alongside
DJ ANG is turning on the light.
The light is turned on for predators; we will not remain quiet, we will not respect your privacy; after all you don’t respect ours.
Say what you want about the #MeToo movement, it has started a wild fire ignited by the embers of those abused to torch injustice.
Texx and the City reported on a link to a Tweet about a woman who was sexually harassed by a DJ at Oppikoppi this past weekend.
She describes how DJ Themba Lunacy (yes, we’re naming you) forced himself on her and then proceeded to call her to apologise- as if it’s all hunky dory now.
But the light is on, and will shine on the perpetrators and predators of sexual abuse.

DJ and head of SheSaidSo South Africa, Angela Weickl (ANG) is carrying out her own demonstration against sexual harassment by calling toxic artists by name and refusing to work alongside them.
She wrote on Facebook:
“I will be including a list in every booking agreement from now onwards.
This list will be of artists who I refuse to be on a line up with due to their toxic and harmful behaviour.
I will not share the spaces where we work to promote diversity, inclusion and safety, with people who harm and disrespect us. If a venue or promoter cannot understand my choice, then I choose not to associate with them.”
She’s urging any other women and LGBTQ individuals who have been forced to work with perpetrators of sexual harassment in the music scene, to share their stories and contribute to the list.
DJ ANG has a torch, make sure you’re on the right side of the light.
