We feel that our future is in doubt if we do not move now to bring our youth together to fight collectively for the working classes rights in this capitalistic South Africa. We are also aware that race and religion is always used to divide the masses and divert attention from their real exploiters, so this project will bring youth to that understanding of the mechanisms used by media owned by Capitalism.
Thanking you in anticipation

GOEMARATI FINAL SHOW 26 Sept 2007
Dear friends
GOEMARATI final show of the pilot series @ Church Square
(behind the NG Kerk)
Wednesday 26 September 2007 12-2pm
Featuring:
Robbie Jansen and the Sons of Table Mountain, feat Jonathan Rubain
Driemanskap
Sandile Dikeni (who launched his new book this week)
Natalia
Endztheotherness and a couple of surprises
Foodcourt - come for lunch
Mobile vendor selling Cape Town products
The weather outlook is good. 28 degrees. Fresh south easterly. A little bit of cloud.
But nothing to dull your mind
On Wednesday the 26th of September, 12-2pm, in celebration of heritage week, we stage the final Goemarati show in the pilot series of 13 shows. Robbie Jansen and his Sons of Table Mountain feature, along with poet Sandile Dikeni who is literally back from the dead after his car accident and a poet once more. Singer songwriter Natalia performs, so do hip hop trio Driemanskap and female MC Endztheotherness.
And there will be another featured performance, to be revealed next week. It might be a performance cooking piece, it might be a goema symphony, it might be Prince. Come and see.
There will be food of course, so come for lunch. Pull up a table and chair on the square and enjoy great food from Nomzamo and Hoschim and others. The mobile vendor, part of a strategy for creating a streetlevel presence for Cape Town music products, will be centre stage and loaded with great Cape Town music and films and below shop prices.
Also Goemarati T-shirts on sale. And we'll be giving away some promo Goemarati compilations with T-shirts bought. And on the same day, we launch the newly revamped Goemarati website.
So take a look that day, it'll be a whole new Goemarati.
By the way, there's new video of the event on Youtube. go to goemarati.co.za to access it.
