“Both concerts promise to be diverse, exciting and entertaining – featuring big names in the entertainment industry. Among others, Jimmy Dludlu and Saudiq Khan will perform at the De Waal Park concert, while the Black Ties featuring Chad Saaiman, and Cape Town divas Karin Kortje and Claire Phillips will perform at the Maynardville event.
“These concerts aim to encourage communities to reclaim open spaces in a positive way. Initiatives such as these help us build an Inclusive City, by bringing together Capetonians from different backgrounds for a fun-filled celebration of our city’s diversity,” said Councillor Pascoe.
City of Cape Town Executive Mayor, Alderman Patricia de Lille, will host a free Reconciliation Day concert at De Waal Park and Mayoral Committee Member for Tourism, Events and Marketing, Councillor Grant Pascoe will host a free concert at Maynardville Park on Sunday 16 December 2012.
Residents are invited to bring along their family and friends and join in the fun at the De Waal Park in Camp Street, Gardens from 16:00 until 18:30 and at Maynardville Park on the corner of Church and Wolfe Streets, Wynberg from 12:00 until 18:00.
There are no braai facilities at either of the parks and strictly no alcohol will be allowed.
The ‘Concerts in the Park’ initiative started ten years ago and has served to facilitate a successful reclamation of open spaces.
