In recent years south africa has seen huge political upheaval and corruption scandals and cape town south africa 2nd largest city has been feeling the impact of Climate Change and struggling with drastic water shortages a decade ago south africa seemed to be moving towards a more inclusive post apartheid world yet in the poorest suburbs of cape town local communities still maintain their distinctive identities based in the cape flats the Muslim Community holds an annual singing competition for the sale of affairs jovi and in 2007 the witness series was there to film this contest which sheds a unique light on the diversity and inequalities of modern soph africa here is the sale of effect. This is the story of a man with a dream but it plays out on the dark side. Till 965 or thereabouts most of the towns muslims lived in the city proper this book afrikaans a language they helped create and many had roots that went back centuries but when the part of derived they were forced to move our church to the parents thats outside the city its a tough world too little money too many drugs and one of the highest murder rates on the planet but not as we shall see the place of hopelessness. This is a place called love its in the middle of the cape flats and im staying here for the past 30 years Everybody Knows and it goes with c. Because of one thing only because of the. But i could go but they basically said yes in 2005 and 2. 00 friends decided to enter and try to win the annual capital a quiet competition an extravaganza that involves 50 rival teams to custom changes 5 different song forms and massive amounts of money it was an insanely optimistic move considering the competition they were facing.

In case youre wondering im the watcher with the guitar im actually a writer but touching needed help and i was on it to be honest. We were always playing with different poise police had to be told. And need it we are going to. Put on this school to do Something Like this. And hope by a big what if you know. When or what i was away in a mean to mock as i just. Know with a. Clip from 245 oclock it was a show. They got me at the what id call if youre. Going to. The businessman love the show but have brought in on your tiny fraction of what the continentals need in months to come there will be more fundraising events karaoke friends and the like but progress is slower and some continental is a better name just a few of them since.

One shudders to think what all this is costing mr dog the truck suits are just the start of it hes also hired a string section a brass band and enough buses to transport hundreds of people. The festivities begin with a tour of the tough neighborhoods where most continentals lived before moving to middle class after where mr dogs wife and 2 friends have prepared a feast for the multitudes. Johnson from the continentals and the supporters piled back into the buses and head for the city proper. According to legend all this goes back to the opposition of slavery and its unfair to fall on the stroke of midnight those in bondage were set free and they flooded into the streets to celebrate ever since muslims are much 3 trips on that same might. Play to the magic that. People. That was the fun part of the proceedings in the new year the struggle for the self defense begins in deadly earnest this this is the distribution ive got to do from today on with and what you just seen the it is coming up on my pocket nobody elses pocket they must come on remind us they might as well as you back here at the end if im successful i can both go yeah.

A sos with it in under 105200 years ago and look in the teens in and lives with that some of us dont even understand it but they need more and more and more the new come to see that old school there are those who look for those little before and now they were slaves and. They came to enjoy the sales buy c. D. s and learn songs they couldnt do so they sang. A bunch of bucks and cut you claim to like each other but youd never guess it from the way the talk about one another most of those members with they will never be able to leave the starlets what evil bucks goes into do if it goes into little to jump in the fire i am sure they will jump in the play if this is a sport but these are the look dumb game this is the 1st year weve got absolutely nothing to lose each got something to lose but we continue to move quiet and nothing to lose tomorrow is all about rote learning to read like they want to keep us they want to win if we think. If only one for life. Cut the most. And i can but he said. All those off was getting. A cut it in the movies again beat to it by seeing that other guy thing us will miss of.

Relief. A good competition day day of destiny for the continental if this event is run and run very strictly by the quiet board they have a rule that says our side is cannot film the competition we spent many a year begging for an exemption but no luck. In the end the continentals decided to perform for us outside the venue. It was there and it will be sort of your case we were wrong apparently according to the board when you look at the mission to do a video sale with just the us and on the bottom of the to get it and we got did we see it. Was not a quote from one of the new jobs it would be to know what you want to put up what you are going to mexico we go outside meet us by would be walking weekend its a night at the. Club. And if. I call the record the continentals won a mind of trophy for dressing up of all things for the rest they were crushed maybe they were doomed from the outset and maybe it didnt matter. Of course we wanted to do it what was the deal with them a deal if d the guy just stays lived in before. You. Can be disappointed again last night but everything that goes on. It now just to see that deer stand and they say they dont have to be given money to get the thing. And thats for the service as it went once again 200. 00 and his invincible starlights was. The stand with all different kinds of people played together is just like the pilot flying into the sky an ascent and. Does that moment the music takes you away. I gave. You a fish behavior.
