Cape Kidney Association

Today we started our show with Molly Fabe from Cape Kidney Association.
The Cape Kidney Association is a non-profit organization that raises funds to assist with the needs of patients and families suffering from chronic kidney disease.
The Association was established in 1978 by a group of concerned nephrology health care professionals and presently consists of a variety of professional staff working in the renal (kidney) areas, renal patients (on dialysis and those who have been transplanted) and their relatives.

We then spoke to Tina Botha from Sunflower Fund, Sunflower Fund assists young patients by recruiting donors representative of all ethnic groups.
This non-profit organisation runs a national call centre and raises awareness and much needed funds to increase the number of donors on the SABMR which will improve the chances of finding a life-saving donor for patients suffering from serious blood disorders such as leukaemia and ALD. The Sunflower Fund was inspired by Chris Corlett and Darren Serebro’s heroic struggle against leukaemia.

We then rounded up our show with Louis Moholo-Moholo and Zama Batyi musicians from Artscape Heritage Festival Celebration.
Amongst the special events planned for the Heritage Festival celebrations, Artscape’s Imvelo Feast presents Moholo-Moholo in an African Jazz Concert entitled "Hear Our Hearts Vibrations". This unique concert takes place on Monday 24th September 2007 at 20h00 in the Artscape Theatre and pays tribute to Louis Moholo-Moholo, one of South Africa’s most esteemed jazz legends born in Cape Town.


Louis Moholo knew from a very early age that he wanted to play the drums and after performing around South Africa was invited to the Antibes Jazz Festival in 1964 with Dudu Pukwana, Mongezi Feza, Nick Moyake, Chris McGregor, and Johnny Dyani - The Blue Notes. Playing at festivals and clubs around Europe they arrived in England in 1965 from where their musical journey continued taking them to the jazz hot spots of the world. 1990 saw the end of the Blue Notes when Chris and Dudu died, Nick, Mongezi, Johnny and Harry Miller having already gone leaving Louis as the lone voice of an extraordinary movement in the history of jazz. Today they are recognized as celebrities of that time. Louis has ensured that their music is not forgotten … ‘The legacy is too precious and needs to be part of South Africa’s heritage’.
