Crafty South Africa

There is no doubt in my mind that South Africans are craft or crafting fanatics. People in South Africa produce remarkable ranges of arts and crafts. These people you’ll find on pavements and markets of big city streets – with every possible form of traditional artwork.

Hand-woven handbags

These forms of art range from pretty tableware, embroidered cloths, to the simplest of items like key rings and candle-holders. In addition to the standard materials such as beads, grass, leather, fabric and clay, pieces are made using telephone wire, cold drink cans, bottle tops, and plastic bags – you will even find tin labels being used to create brightly coloured papier mache bowls.

On sale from many a South African street are objects made of wire – representations of:

·         the globe,

·         cars and;

·          motorcycles.

Woven baskets

Markets, shops and collectives dealing in African craft thrive to provide much-needed employment and income to communities such as the Northern Cape Schmidtsdrift community of displaced San people, who specialise in producing paintings that constitute an imaginative and highly coloured extension of ancient rock art. Another community is the Fugitive’s Drift in KwaZulu-Natal, which offers a major variety in basketry.

There are several important collections of African art in South Africa, such as the Standard Bank collection at the Gertrude Posel Gallery at Wits University in Johannesburg, or the Durban Art Gallery.

At the Rooftop Market at Johannesburg's Rosebank Mall, and at its African Craft Market, work from all over the continent pushes for buyers' attention. Many merchants and organisations sell craft goods online.

South Africa - place full of entertainment opportunities



South Africa does not lack when it comes to entertainment opportunities. You will definitely find that entertainment fills every aspect of South African life that is reflected by its diverse culture, age groups and taste. When it comes to theatres, live music venues, cinemas, drive-in cinemas and nightclubs, then you’ll find that there’s no shortage.

For example:



Ballet lures people to performances at
the Market Theatre in Johannesburg



·         Johannesburg has more than its fair share of live music venues and theatres, the most famous are the Alhambra Theatre, the Civic Theatre and the Market Theatre (Newton Cultural Centre). Other attractions include the ‘living museum’, Gold Reef City and the Johannesburg Library’s Africana collection.

·         Cape Town has a number of excellent theatres and art cinemas, that including the Nico Theatre Centre, which is the performing arts centre in Cape Town. Another prominent theatre is the Maynardville Open Air Theatre which has Shakespeare season in January and ballet season in March, and the Labia Theatre specialises in the screening of art and festival films.

·         Grahamstown is a leading cultural and academic centre and home to Rhodes University, one of South Africa's’ top university institutions. Every year thousands of people travel to Grahamstown for the annual Standard Bank Arts Festival.

·         Durban’s centre of cultural life is the Natal Playhouse, the City Hall serves as a cultural venue for symphonic and choral concerts.

·         Bloemfontein’s main attraction is The Sand du Plessis theatre complex, not only for the shows and concerts but also the décor and art works displayed in the foyers.

Now this just shows how South Africa is serious about art and culture and not losing its roots.
