Barnyard Cresta unites against crime

Barnyard performers united against crime after four performers were robbed.

The crew staged a high-energy, never-seen-before show which featured highlights from three best-selling productions: 99 Hits, Battle of the Sexes and ’80s vs ’90s.

The new concept had the audience singing and rocking from start to end as they enjoyed the best of three worlds.

These bankable performers were energetic on every level, fighting for a cause they all believe in.

Colonel Renate Timmer from the Provincial Women’s Network was in attendance. “This is an excellent idea. We need more of these initiatives. The police also need the public’s support to fight crime because we cannot do it alone,” she said.

Col Timmer added that it is encouraging that the entertainment industry took initiative to fight against crime. “We need more emphasis on crime in the country and there is no better way to raise awareness than when people come together through such events.”

According to her, the entertainment industry plays a fundamental role in society. “It is important for every industry to fight against crime because crime in South Africa is very high,” Col Timmer added.

The audience enjoyed the show.

Siphiwe Zikalala said, “The show was great and all performers were good.”

Ronaldo Muregess on the other hand said, “I enjoy seeing the girls sing, they have mesmerising voices”.

Hanusha Chetty said the show was a special and important initiative as every South African is exposed to crime one way or another.

According to Col Timmer, the Battle of the Sexes show will hold another initiative to raise funds for charity together with the SAPS. The initiative will also tackle social issues during the 16 days of activism at Sparrow Village on 6 December.

The Barnyard show will be held on 29 November in Rivonia at 1pm.
