FunnyKaap is ‘n 90 minute mallemeule van komedie, skerpskets, tragi-komedie en musiek wat gehore laat skaterlag, maar tog ook laat nadink. Gooi die veelsydige Emo Adams, pittige Dowwe Dolla, sjarmante Pedro Kruger, vreksnaakseWayne Mckay, vokaal rondborstige Sarah Theron en die onstuitbare Take Note orkes op een verhoog en dis ‘n wenresep. As solo kunstenaars is hulle erg vermaaklik en wanneer ons hulle as groep saamgooi in nuutgeskrewe sketse deur Hennie van Greunen, draai ons die lagkrane behoorlik oop. Eers was daar Die Carol Burnett show. Toe was dit - Saturdaynight Live. Nou is dit – FunnyKaap - want ons is almal vannie Kaap – en dis lekker! Ondersteun deur TYGERBURGER & HENTIES VRUGTESAPPE!

Die geliefde Liewe Heksie is terug! Haai oe, maar sy het bietjie vergeet van verjaarsdae en daarom vier sy haar “eerste” verjaarsdag vanjaar by die KKNK. Met haar persente, ‘n biki-kini en rolskaatse beloof sy om Blommeland nog kleurryker te maak. Maar ai, die groot grillerige Geelheks probeer haar vieringe in die (rolskaats)wiele ry. Levinia vra mooi:”Asseblief klein en groot kaboutervriende van Menseland, help my dat ons al die stoute karnallies kan verwilder.” Verna Vels se immergroen verhale word verlewendig met baie gehoordeelname en voortsnellende aksie. Margit Meyer-Rödenbeck (alias Dowwe Dolla) is die “ultimate”, nimlike Heksie en Deon van Zyl draf die rolle van Karel Kat, Geelheks en Koning Rosekrans lag-lag kaf. ‘n Aanbieding vir die hele gesin: laasjaar het van die volwassenes gesê- dit was hul vermaaklikste produksie in jare!

This series of paintings expose indigenous South African plant forms and the strength and potency that they hold. Each artwork depicts the coexistence and interdependence of nature’s male and female forces, celebrating these counterparts that both oppose and harmonise with one another. Each plant relies on the inter-relationship of these two forces in order to be rooted within its perfectly balanced structure. Claudia’s work taps into our rich cultural heritage. Each artwork evokes the notion as to where we come from and where we belong. As South Africans, we are rooted in our cultural environment which, in turn, is fundamentally rooted in us. In isolating her imagery from its surrounding landscape, Claudia’s work reveals a dynamic moment in a plant’s life. Her bold, magnified representations of plants become a landscape in their own right. Opening at 11am on Saturday March 17thOpening speaker: Estelle Jacobs. Walkabout with the artist at 11am on Saturday March 24th. Gallery hours: Tuesday-Saturday 10am-5pm

Be sure not to miss conceptual wildlife artist John Moore's current show at the SA Print Gallery. These particular works have never been exhibited in Cape Town before. On show are a selection of John Moore's woodcuts, etchings and lithographs. John's exceptionally detailed and realistic works are depictions of wildlife and the poignant plight of endangered species. This is at a time when there is urgent need to change our attitude to the environment and nature, which John feels passionate about. His style contains elements of surrealism and traditional naturalism which merge into thoughtful reflections of our age. John believes his work assists the viewer to find their own interpretation and allows the work to speak to them personally. The imagery often includes references to the Khoi-San - which he believes are the ‘first people' of the Southern African continent. This evocative body of work is where the human and the spirit world meet. To read more and see more of John Moore's work http://printgallery.co.za/
