20 June 2008 – Arts, Culture and Environment

On the Friday edition of Sakhisizwe – Building the Nation – Bou die Nasie – we were joined by Lorraine Tanner who is the Managing Director of the Jungle Theatre Company, a non profit organisation that makes use of interactive and fun performances to empower children, young people and even adults with specific skills and knowledge about environmental, social and cultural issues. They also provide theatre skills training to children and young people from different social backgrounds.

We heard from Nkosazana Dimande who is an Opera Singer. This talented 31-year-old from Gugulethu has been selected from more than 100 of her peers in the world to complete her master’s degree at a university in Sweden. She spoke to my Producer Rhodé Marshall this morning about her journey thus far.
