For Stacey-Lee May, spinning is not simply tires screeching, engines roaring, and cars drifting spectacularly. It is a language she learned to speak from a young age, long before she understood what it meant to be part of a culture now typical of South Africa. A spinning driver and car stuntwoman from Eldorado Park, a neighborhood in Soweto, in the Johannesburg suburbs, the young woman describes herself as calm and reserved. But behind the wheel, she reveals another side of her personality. This contrast reflects a key characteristic of spinning: this discipline, which appears very anarchic, is in fact a matter of control, precision, and a fine understanding of the vehicle. Stacey-Lee May's first encounters with spinning date back to her childhood. Every Easter weekend, between the ages of 5 and 10, her parents took her to watch spinning and drift events that took place on the Monster Mob track in Kimberley, in the center of the country. At the time, spinning was illegal, but this annual event gave her a glimpse of a world that would eventually become an element of her life. Founded in 1985 under the name Weekly Mail, the publication was banned three years later by the apartheid regime due to its criticism of the authorities. It was revived in 1993 by the British newspaper The Guardian. In 2024, the New York investment fund Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF), which had been the majority shareholder since 2017, sold its stake to the general manager of Mail & Guardian and his predecessor, who was a minority shareholder. Resolutely left-leaning, the weekly advocates for a more tolerant South Africa. Reputed for its analyses, reports, and investigations, it is one of the best titles on the African continent.
