I am what I am because of who we all are
Join an intimate afternoon in Mamelodi, Pretoria for a bespoke ‘ Vusi Mahlasela – Mamelodi township experience’.
Come and learn about Ubuntu and African Spirituality from iconic South African artist Vusi Mahlasela at his home in Mamelodi where you will enjoy an intimate musical performance and workshop presentation on various African guitar styles in a relaxed and casual setting.
In addition to this intimate musical experience you will also visit the home where Vusi grew up and visit his Grandmother’s shebeen, sample some ‘ umqombothi’ – African beer, and a South African staple meal of pap, marog and vleis (Maize and spinach and beef) and learn about Vusi’s upbringing, how he got into playing music, his political activism, personal connection to the late Nelson Mandela and rise to becoming an international ambassador of reconciliation, hope and peace. You will also learn about the history of Mamelodi and township music with the focus on Vusi as a central figure in the Mamelodi and South African folk music scene.
This is a rare opportunity to spend time with a political activist, poet, iconic musician and national treasure.
