South African design


Greetings South Africans!

There is no doubt that if you are living in South Africa right now you will know all about the terrible flames of racism that are being fanned by certain factions in government and in the community. To say that this is “sad” is the understatement of the century! Can you imagine how Madiba feels about all these troubles and the freedom that he and the ANC fought to create? This is one horrible turn of events that I hope gets mediated from the powers that be very quickly indeed!
I can’t really offer any real comfort to anybody, because I’m as much in the dark as anybody else. However I thought I’d showcase 1 or 2 designs that are very South African and could perhaps help to get our minds back into a state that is conducive to creating a free and equal South Africa!
Check out these South African designs.

One design that I have always loved and feel is truly South African is the Star Wors design which pokes fun at a well known movie franchise and turns it on its head by making it truly “local ‘n lekker” by making it Wors instead of Wars. Now I bet some of you are saying, it’s not South African its Afrikaans. But then you have to argue that you don’t partake in braai’s and don’t eat boerewors…which has got to be a lie.
This design makes you smile ear to ear and even sets those patriotic fires burning in your heart. Yes indeed, this is a great design for the times! This is a SOUTH AFRICAN tradition that we ALL partake in. Star Wors is a design that I feel really fits in with the best South African designs!

Once again it was back to Artscape Cape Town to watch the award winning musical My Fair Lady.

To tell you the truth I was a little worried at first, I mean the title My Fair Lady is enough to worry any guy my age right? Well needless to say my apprehension was totally unfounded and in turned out to be a very good show indeed.
