A festival for the community
As part of keeping the city clean, the organisers asked patrons to use litter as a ticket to get inside.
THE JSD Annual Arts Festival, in conjunction with the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture, was held in Rotunda Park to celebrate and give back to the community of Johannesburg south on December 9.
The JSD Arts Festival, an initiative which prides itself on helping communities, was established in October 2016 with the sole purpose of mentoring young minds and giving them the platform to change their negatives into positives.
One of the organisers, Ayanda Ndimande said the festival was held to create a networking platform in showcasing the talents of the south of Johannesburg community.
According to Ndimande the event was a free entry event, however, as part of keeping the city clean. the organisers asked patrons to use litter as a ticket to get inside. This meant everyone would somehow contribute to cleaning parts of the city.
A few stakeholders were present on the day.
Tam Digital SA, Sanca Rosettenville, BCS, Department of Sports, Fashion Kapitol, ward councilor Rashida Landis, Ditiropele Technologies, Hoërskool Die Fakkel, Zon “d” Films, Max Midia, Kwai Kwai Productions, BBS Security Services, CPFs, Rhythmic Solusion, Sci-bono, Market Theatre, Skyrink Studios, Big Fish Studios, e.tv, OBE Pty Ltd, Rugrats, Diva dance crew, De’l record service and The Business hub.
Children were entertained by participating in various sporting activities.
According to Ndimande, the festival would be held again next year.
