D-seven Starring PATRICK CRAIG, FRANCOIS SWART, SHIRAZ JOGEE, EUGENE GOUWS, SCOTT LEE-JONES, GRAHAM HILDYARD, NATHAN GROENER and DYLAN MARTIN Directed by IRIT NOBLE MONDAYS 30th AUGUST, 06th and 13th SEPTEMBER 2010 D-seven is an all male a capella (voice only) music group. A Capella music has, for an exceptionally long period, suffered under the impression that it was a music genre lacking sex appeal, audience-accessibility and commercial viability, and perhaps a touch lame. Needless to say, perceptions haven't hindered D-seven, a bold new ensemble that has set the Cape Town music performance scene alight with tight sets, fitted jeans, slick moves and smooth music. And if first impressions are anything to go by, many a fan of high-quality live music will be grovelling to the musical gods in thanks for a long while to come. And grovel you just might. The men of D-seven certainly are a sight to match their sound, which is itself winning wide acclaim. The group is moving from strength to strength, having performed to packed houses on some of the countries premier stages, as well as a number of local television stations. With hits including 'Faith', 'Stand by me', Crazy little thing called love', 'Pata Pata' and medleys of music made famous by Michael Jackson, Beach Boys, Goldfish and Justin Timberlake amongst others, there is something for everyone! D-seven have just returned from a debut run at The National Arts Festival in Grahamstown, where they managed to secure a Standard Bank Ovation Award for being one of the top 36 shows in over 600 productions. Now they'll be hitting the stage of On Broadway with the same gusto for your listening (and viewing) pleasure.

This is the first year that The Maths Club®will be hosting these classes in the Western Cape and it’s due to the fact that since the learning area - Mathematics has been made compulsory, the current assessment structure of the new Mathematics curricula has not been made enough accessible to the majority of learners especially in the townships. The concept of The Maths Club sessions involves tutoring learners from various schools by the principal tutor in a big venue; say a school hall, using audio – visual equipment to amplify the lesson. The duration of each session is three hours at the most and learners receive materials covering all the concepts to be discussed in the session.
