World record: 1 100 marimba players unite in Cape Town for largest ensemble
'It's impossible to feel sad when you play marimba.' Coordinator Kiara Ramklass said this was the joy that more than 1 100 young musicians set out to capture when they broke the Guinness World Record for the largest marimba ensemble. Ramklass added that the 1 177 young musicians from across South Africa and Zimbabwe came together in Cape Town to break the record after two years of planning. An official adjudicator from Guinness oversaw the event. Ramklass said every participating child would receive an official gold medal from Guinness World Records. 'It was really an amazing moment of unity for us to come together on Saturday and break this world record. The theme of the evening was 'united in harmony', and I think that spoke to the greater cause behind this world record. 'The marimba is present in almost every part of society, so we all came together to play this beautiful instrument, transcending socioeconomic barriers. I think it was just palpable, that feeling of unity and ubuntu,' she added. Ramklass described the marimba as a 'community instrument' that united people. 'You need the bass player, the tenor player, and the soprano player to make a full sound. The marimba is a community builder, and it was really beautiful for us to bring together the marimba community to achieve this beautiful record altogether.' Ramklass fell in love with the marimba at the age of 12. 'I also learned other musical instruments at school, like the flute and trombone. But the marimba was just this one instrument that I really just loved. Every Tuesday afternoon, I would wait for my marimba lesson,' she said. Ramklass continued: The marimba has got such a beautiful, warm sound that just makes me feel at peace, at ease. Just the way that you play this instrument, the physicality involved, is a way to de-stress. It was more than just an instrument; it was like I was a part of home. Inspired to share her love of marimba, Ramklass started Marimba Jam in 2012 as a Grade 11 pupil wanting to make an active change to address the inequality in music education in her community. Marimba Jam provides access to the psychological and social benefits that accompany the joy of playing in a marimba band. The project initially consisted of a week-long marimba workshop during the school holidays with 10 girls from Zimasa Secondary School in Langa, Cape Town, an under-resourced school. However, a decade later, Marimba Jams employed more than 20 part-time student teachers, who teach 500 pupils from 13 schools across the Western Cape. 'It was a small community project to share this love of marimba. And I then started teaching marimba bands at the university. It grew into a social enterprise, where we now teach over 500 learners weekly. We have a branch in Johannesburg now. And when our learners matriculate, they join what we call the Marimba Jam Academy, and now we train as professional teachers and marimba players in the industry,' Ramklass said. Supplied/ Marimba Jam She added that the marimba was an accessible instrument, because players did not need to know how to read music to play it. 'For many of the children we teach, it's their only way of experiencing the benefits of learning musical instruments at school. That includes learning teamwork and confidence, and cognitive development. In some communities, there are not many opportunities for these kids. Marimba gives them something to focus on, so they are not drawn into negative spaces. The broader impact is huge.'

The controversial life of Nandipha Mlombi and her husband Reverend Mawuzole Mlombi returns to the small screens. The couple was introduced to the public when Nandipha - affectionately known as Queen Nandi - joined the reality show Pastors' Wives. Now, they and their seven children have snagged their own show on Mzansi Magic called Nandi and The Rev, set to debut on Sunday, 24 August 2025.

Now, with their marriage under duress and their children's trust hanging in the balance, they face the task of repairing their lives as the public watches closely. Driven by Nandi's fierce tenacity and Thabo's battle for redemption, the series poses a heartfelt question: can love, faith and willpower help this family find their way back to wholeness? View this post on Instagram A post shared by MzansiMagic (@mzansimagic) Nandipha initially grabbed South Africa's attention as the unconventional mam'mfundisi and former beauty pageant queen who wasn't afraid to show some skin and speak out against the church they were a part of. In 2024, the couple temporarily went their separate ways after 15 years of marriage. Speaking on their separation, Reverend Mawuzole explained to DRUM, 'It was a combination of things that led us to splitting up. There was a lot of stress from work or church related things. I was overwhelmed. She and I disagreed on how she handled things on social media, and I also had health issues.' Viewers will now get a chance to see how the contentious couple and their family pick up the pieces of their lives as they face the onslaught of public scrutiny.
