Natalie Chapman live at Thaba Ya Batswana
Natalie Chapman is a South African Singer/Songwriter who has embarked on an epic journey from January 30 to April 29, in association with the incredible organisation The Epic Foundation.
THABA YA BATSWANA – “I have been on the road for 50 days now and I will be performing 90 gigs in 90 Days in 90 Towns across South Africa in an effort to give a voice to Victims of Violent and Sexual Crimes by raising awareness and funding. I will be appearing at Thaba Ya Batswana on Wednesday April 16 at 18:30 for 19:00,” said Natalie.
Natalie Chapman aligns with The Epic Foundation in her endeavor to visit 90 towns in 90 days performing 90 gigs and hosting talks across South Africa raising awareness for and bringing a voice to the millions of victims of violent crime in South Africa. The journey will be documented via online streaming, filming, traditional media and through social networking. One woman on an Epic Mission!
Natalie is also an actress, radio DJ, lecturer, music promoter, booking agent, PR person and staunch supporter of South African Talent which she pursues through her company The Local Element.
“As a South African woman I am constantly reminded of the dangers that I face in a violent society, where mutual respect seems to have disappeared amongst our fellow citizens. I believe it is every person’s right to feel safe and protected in and out of their homes. I am passionate about finding a solution to the devastating situation we find ourselves in and wonder and worry about the future of our children. As a musician I can contribute my voice to the pursuit of a South Africa where women, men and children can pursue their dreams without the threat of violence. Where perpetrators are brought to justice and victims are treated with kindness and support. I have committed my time and skills to the 90 days, 90 towns, 90 gigs tour where I will spread my message through music! I hope in some way to make a difference in all of our lives,” said Natalie.
Epic Foundation
The Gauteng-based EPIC Foundation was founded by Alta McMaster at the beginning of 2013. Having experienced various traumas in her own life, Alta has a deep understanding of how lonely and helpless one can feel if no-one reaches out a helping hand. Having experienced these situations in life encouraged her to provide that helping hand to others in the form of assisting with the empowerment of survivors of trauma.
