The Soweto Art and Craft Fair will be booming into Youth Month at the world-class Soweto Theatre. This family-friendly affair will be adorned with a variety of bespoke local creations ranging from fashion, jewellery, footwear, food and more; along with some one of a kind live performances from up and coming acts across the province. Headlining the lively offering is none other than Soweto’s own rap band G1ne, led by poetic emceeGciwane – a multi-faceted creative from Diepkloof. The band’s timeless melodies are an instant throwback to the sampling sensibilities of hip hop’s golden era, spiced up with kasi vernacular and a fun, youthful flair.

The town has spoken and we are cleaning up again! The second leg of the Herald‘s #HelpOurTownShineAgain initiative will kick off in Greenhills from 7.30am to 10am.
