A busy weekend of family activities is approaching with the annual Glenwood Community Festival which takes place from September 3 to 6. The proactive Glenwood Community Forum in Durban believes this bustling suburb is “A good place to live, work, educate and raise a family”.

Opening on Thursday evening, (September 3), is a showcase of more than 100 works of art from the various local high schools which will be on display at Glenwood High School in an exhibition curated by Sarie de Beer. The work can be viewed over the weekend.

On Friday evening - multi talented Durban actor, Jacobus van Heerden, will present his quirky, family-friendly one-man rollicking adventure – Catch! – at the Glenwood Preparatory School Hall on September 4 at 19h00. This brilliant combination of performance, storytelling, and ultra violet props is written and performed by Jacobus van Heerden and directed by Liam Magner.
