• From 28 June: Catch Kings of Mulberry Street in cinemas
South African funny man Chris Forrest stars in Judy Naidoo’s latest film, Kings of Mulberry Street. The film tells the story of two nine-year-old boys, feisty Ticky (Aaqil Hoosen) and his sidekick, the more timid Baboo (Shaan Nathoo), who set out to rid their community of local bully and crime boss, Raja. The film is set in the 80s, in the fictional town of Sugarhill District in KwaZulu-Natal. Forrest plays the role of Mr White, the typical born and bred Durban beach bum. A colourful local and a hustler of note, he knows all the players in the crime underworld. Unfortunately for Mr White, he’s always the pawn and never the boss, but he’s a likable ou.

Die dae voor die Musiekpretaand gevul met pret, musiek en heerlike kos ten bate van Just In Time Baby Sanctuary aanbreek, raak al hoe minder.

Die spesiale Musiekpretaand gaan by die Ruimsig Country Club aangebied word om fondse vir Just In Time in te samel.
