Captivating play confronts social scars
Three artists recently performed at Ramosa Hall to showcase local talent and emphasise societal issues. Local thespian Tebogo Munyai mounted a three-man theatrical play entitled Black on Black. The play had three elements, namely poetry, contemporary dance in the form of ballet and indigenous musical instruments. The play staged on Freedom Day is mainly about inner and outer anger and hunger faced by society on a day-to-day basis. From gender-based violence to poverty. Tebogo emphasised that art, notably theatre, remains relevant in the current socio-political landscape in the same way, but it only differs with current socio-dynamics. In the past, poets like Ingwapele Madingwane, Mzwake Mbuli, Breyten Breytenbach and the American poet and singer Gil Scott-Heron used slam poetry as a voice for the voiceless. If I have four loaves of bread in my cupboard, it must worry me about my hungry neighbour,' said Tebogo. 'This is something that would normally be seen at big theatres like the Market Theatre in Johannesburg. To see such an expansive production on a local stage, offered by a home-grown talent, we need to revive community theatre,' added Terance Mogalobe, who attended the play. The three-man act consisted of Tebogo Munyai with ballet, Dimpho Makokokoe's poetry and Kenny Rakotswane on indigenous instruments of mbira or the mouth harp, drums and kudu horn.

Watch: Sandman visits the Western Cape
Beach-goers on Wilderness and Herolds Bay beaches in the Western Cape were both surprised and intrigued to come across beautiful, life-sized sand sculptures of some of Africa's Big 5, all done in magnificent detail. George Herald reports that the sculptures of the white rhinoceros and elephant were done by Innocent Zungu last week. Originally from Hluhluwe in KZN, he is now based in Cape Town. The artworks carry a strong conservation message, and Zungu says it is a calling from God to create awareness around poaching. His sculptures are done in exchange for donations from the public, and Zungu's goal is to use these funds for conservation and community upliftment projects he aims to run in his home province. He travelled to Wilderness with a friend for the week and decided to use the opportunity to showcase his talents on our local beaches. But his plans go beyond sand sculpting. Zungu told George Herald he is now planning an exciting new project that will focus on the importance of creating awareness around the need to save wild bees. He is looking to buy old pallets to make beehives, feeling a strong urge to alter perceptions around the bee. 'I want to create beehives and educate people on how to farm bees, and not to kill them. We all know that bees are so important to our lives.' Zungu left a message for the people of the Garden Route on his Facebook page: 'What a wonderful place, such an amazing experience being here, the beach is beautiful and it's peaceful. Thank you all for your support and kindness, definitely I will make a turn next time.' Breaking news at your fingertips… Follow Caxton Network News on Facebook and join our WhatsApp channel.
