Hi Dolls,
Well as I said before September was jam packed with activities of every nature.
The Street Cred Fest was one of those with an electric atmosphere that gave an international flair right there in the midst of our very own Maboneng Precinct in Newtown.
This celebration was an explosion of our own urban culture, highlighting the long road we have travelled as a nation and developed into our own. One thing is two things and that’s that nobody can
Ever accuse Jozi of being boring with so many different personalities and characters all adding their own personal touch to our diversity.
The stage was on fire with international artists like VaShtie and Masta Lee. Theophilus London’s anthem of “I stand alone” had us all moving together in a frenzy of excitement.
Adding to the VIP Import list was the founder and editor of Sneaker Freaker Woody SBTG (Royalefam) who had a 12 person workshop on customising sneakers. How friggin ridic!!!
They were hand painting each sneaker to perfection right before our less than sober eyes. Epic!!
Got to meet the super talented Video blogger, Levi Maestro.
Dizzy with all the goings on (and the beer) I was mesmerised by all the sights. PATTA from Amsterdam... there was street ball, graffiti, BMX tricksters and skateboarding all over the place.
A Mardi Gras to celebrate our heritage and show off to the international guests, what a colourful and beautiful nation we have become.
New York may be the Big Apple but Jozi is the Big Pineapple which is a little higher on the food chain.
We are proving that Nelson Mandela and Charlise Theron are not our only claims to fame.
