Apparently there were football friendlies last night. I didn't care to watch. Cape Town had other offerings. I attended a gathering of young and vibrant local artists and filmmakers. Short films were shown. Food, Incarceration and Language all featured. Discussions were had. It was a very Wednesday night affair. I had not realized the hybrid of linguistic influences on Afrikaans, in particular the role of various mother tongues.
The night closed with a performance by an featured artist. Peter John had once done bird. Now he was singing to a captive audience. Don't worry if you can't see but his shadow. It's all about what he has to say!
