How many tourists who come to SA for the world cup and watch football realize that football in south africa was born in the dirty muddy slums of the townships that still remain very much impoverished and sadly some families in the townships do not own even a television to watch the WC nor a radio. Least they forget! Millions of black south africans are still spectators not in football but in our democracy!
Hi Barbara,how are you today?I have seen this morning on eastern sunday the beautiful documentary about the opera-
singers from the Cape Town Opera. I was also an operasinger
from Belgium during 26 years on the Royal Flemisch Opera
into Antwerpen,you know.I must say I was really astonisched
from the superbe voices from the young woman and men!!!
And when the narrator say that 90% of the young people comes from the Townships of Capetown I can only say:Chapeau for the work and discipline,not only for the tea-
chers but also for the students,of course!!!I wish all the crew
of the university of Capetown a Bravissimo and all the best
for the future.Signed:Don Ramón Lamberto from Spain.
Dear Don Ramon,
Thanks for the lovely feedback on the film. And great to hear you appreciate these voices…I’ll forward that to the singers!
Thanks and best wishes from Vienna,

Hi Barbara. I’m writing about South African opera as part of an article on Isango and the Globe to Globe festival. I missed your documentary when it was screened in SA. Where/how might I have a chance to view it? Best, Colette
