(Sharon Katz)
Message from Sharon Katz, founder of The Peace Train, from Philadelphia,
PA, in the US:
“To all friends in South Africa and across the African
continent: The documentary When Voices
Meet will screen across South Africa and Africa on Christmas Eve (December
24) at 19.55 on DSTV ED Channel 190 and GOTV Channel 65.”
The programme will be repeated on December 27 at 13h55 and
21h55.
Born in Port Elizabeth, Sharon Katz made history in South
Africa in 1992 when she formed the country’s first-ever 500-member
multi-cultural and multi-lingual performing group and staged the production When Voices Meet.
A year later, she launched her concert tour, The Peace Train. She raised sponsorship
to hire a train – The Peace Train – and took 150 of the performers, her friends
Ladysmith Black Mambazo, as well as TV and radio crews on tour throughout the
country. At each stop along the route, they performed their concert and
encouraged people of all races, cultures, ages and political affiliations to
put down their guns and hostilities and to prepare for the country’s transition
to a peaceful democracy.
