Cape Town’s premier entertainment lifestyle and entertainment venue, West End, Rylands Estate, Exquisite Events & Entertainment, will be hosting a Heritage Day celebration party.

Dantanio Goodman, arguably the world’s No.1 Michael Jackson Tribute Show artist, will be the headline act. The event will also feature the multi-talented Shadley Schroeder and internationally-renowned Mujahid George.

The event pays tribute to one of the world’s most celebrated artists, Michael Jackson, whose music has stood the test of time across all ages and genres.

Adding to the festivities will be an “Old School Party” in true West End style.

Proceeds from the event will be utilised for community upliftment projects, including feeding scheme programmes under the Browers Choice Community Foundation and Choice Drug Counselling Services.

Event director Rif’at Browers said: “I had the pleasure to seeing Dantanio Goodman doing the Michel Jackson Tribute Show at Artscape and it has been a goal of mine to get this talented artist to Cape Town to perform for our people with a social responsibility opportunity derived from the event”.

He added: “Shadley Schroeder has developed into one of the finest and most entertaining artists in Cape Town, producing shows that became household names.

“His vibrant performances and incredible showmanship makes in a talent that I appreciate to work with.

“Mujahid George is undoubtedly my favourite Cape Town artist and is the youngest ‘Goodwill Ambassador’ of the ‘Choice Drug Counselling Services’.

“His passion for creating memorable moments for his adoring audiences across the globe has become legendary.”

Entry is R100 at the door. Doors open at 8pm. Ladies pay half price before 10pm.

DRIFTCity is back. The combination of the cultural significance of the Grand Parade, overlooked by the historic City Hall and The Castle of Good Hope, and the adrenaline-pumping excitement, makes #DC23 the ideal Sunday destination for motorsport enthusiasts.

“Urban Unsung”

An exciting new series of online documentaries, “Urban Unsung”, will be chronicling and celebrating urban icons who have made a remarkable impact on local pop culture and often also influenced broader civil society.

The initiative conceptualised by Calvin Peters aka Uncle Cal, a legend of urban pop culture, intends to pay tribute and preserve the legacy of our forgotten heroes and heroines.

Of course, with it being Heritage Month, September is the ideal time for the launch of the Urban Unsung Series, this will also be a fundraising drive towards kick-starting the “Urban Unsung” series.

The event features Theo Watt (ex Rockets), Fanatics SA, DJ Nigel, DJ Ice, as well as DJ Graham who will have a karaoke session on the side.
