SA musos combine to keep the less fortunate warm
Big ups to Nceba and friends for putting together this charity event for Zakhe Community Centre in Lenasia on Saturday the 28 June 2008 in Brixton – come on Jozi people, fill the place up with love, your old clothes, tinned food etc. Click on the flyer for more: Just a little can make a big difference. We constantly ask ourselves how we can make a difference? What we can do to make a change? You have to start somewhere. Start small. And You’ll have so much more ahead of you. South African musicians are coming together to help raise funds for Zakhe Community Centre. The home is situated in Lenasia, and is run by Nobesuthu Xaba. Nobesuthu single handedly launched the centre using her own limited resources. She has five children, but has set up the NGO caring for up to ten other abandoned and troubled children. She is raising the children on her own, out of her own home. She has helped children with drug problems, including teenage mothers. Nobesuthu is a selfless African woman trying to make sense of an otherwise nonsensical situation. Qommbola productions and hot toffee communications presents Ubuntu Bethu: Siyabulela featuring My Man, Dr Badela, Deep Soweto, Stylez, Nozuko, Maxhoba, Baphixile, MXO, Sliq Angel and Kwela Tebza. On the decks are DJ Sbuja and DJ 2DAXA. All this will be taking place at House of NsAkO, 101 High Street in Brixton. Nsako stands for Nuff SAid Kollektive – a creative/entrepreneurial collective whose intentions, among others, is to develop a cutting-edge “living museum of African popular culture”. This living museum is located in the inner city of Johannesburg. Its theme exudes cultural appreciation and authencity.
