Every year, the singers / songwriters bring new energy, sounds and homegrown African rhythms to the Jakes Gerwel Foundation’s Paulet House in Somerset East. 2022 was no exception. We will never forget the many goosebump moments while the group rehearsed and performed. Keep note of these young stars, they are going places: Carlo Fortune, Kele M, Kerischne Pheiffer, Noxolo Kheswa and Spha Dlakwe. Applause to mentors Frazer Barry and Zolani Mahola for your endless passion! Thank you to our valued partner – the Suidoosterfees. Watch out for future performances of this wonderful group organised by the festival.

Ons is ontsaglik trots op Henque Heymans wat pas bekroon is met die ATKV Woordveertje 2022 vir Beste Dramateks. Sy aangrypende drama, “Oom Bey, my pa”, handel oor Beyers Naudé en sy dogter, Liesel Naudé, se herinneringe aan hom. Henque was verlede jaar deel van die Jakes Gerwel Stigting se mentorskapsprogram vir opkomende dramaturge, waartydens hy aan die teks gewerk het onder leiding van Abduragman Adams. Die NATi Jong Sterre projek is ’n gesamentlike projek deur die Jakes Gerwel Stigting, Suidoosterfees, Teksmark en die Kunstekaap. As jy "Oom Bey, my pa" by die Suidoosterfees misgeloop het, kan jy dit nog by die US Toyota Woordfees of Momentum Beleggings Aardklop gaan kyk. Ira Blanckenberg en Robert Hindley is in die rolverdeling.
Hou ons webwerf dop om volgende jaar in te skryf vir hierdie uitsonderlike geleentheid – www.jgf.org.za of e-pos theo@jgf.org.za
