21h00 – Undivided Roots

Undivided Roots ZA is a roots, rock, and reggae band founded by legendary Edendale street musician Nstangu “Roots” Cele. The group is a family ensemble of seven siblings - Black Wadada, Revival Cele, Heaven Cele, Spear Cele, Kingdom Cele, Rainbow Cele, and Judgement Cele - who have built their musical lives through busking, performing, and sharing their unmistakable sound across Pietermaritzburg and beyond.

Their repertoire moves easily between old‑school rock, blues, jazz, and the deep pulse of roots reggae, creating performances that are rhythmic, soulful, and irresistibly dance‑inducing.

Over the years, Undivided Roots has shared stages with major South African and international artists, including Johnny Clegg, Gangs of Ballet, Prime Circle, Queen Ifrica, Watershed, Zahara, and Tony Rebel. With their unmistakable family chemistry and a sound shaped by years of street performance, Undivided Roots remains one of the Midlands’ most authentic and beloved musical institutions.

 

20h00 – Likkewaan

Likkewaan is a South African multilingual original indie‑rock act founded and led by singer, songwriter, and producer Gareth Warren. Originally from Johannesburg and now rooted in KwaZulu‑Natal, Gareth has shaped Likkewaan into a distinctive project that blends surf‑culture guitar grooves, modern indie textures, and electronic production influences.

The result is a fresh, contemporary sound emerging from the KZN Midlands and Durban alternative scene. Drawing on both Afrikaans and English songwriting, Likkewaan’s music is melodic, atmospheric, and rhythmically driven, with Gareth’s production style giving the project its unmistakable character.

Whether performing solo or with a full band, Likkewaan brings an energetic, modern edge to stages across KZN - a growing presence in the region’s evolving indie landscape.

 

19h00 – The Chickpeas

The Chickpeas didn’t materialise out of nowhere - they sprouted from the fertile musical soil of the Hairy‑Legged Lentil Eaters. Raised on legendary local bands, tight harmonies, and a community that thrives on music, their philosophy remains simple: honour the music, surprise the audience, and never miss an opportunity for a well‑timed musical detour.

Performing both original and cover material and influenced by Incubus, Crowded House, and The Cranberries, The Chickpeas build their repertoire around rich vocal harmonies, rhythmic interplay, and reimagined favourites alongside original material. Their performances blend polished musicianship with spontaneous creativity, all wrapped in warm humour and heartfelt delivery.

Now a fresh face of the KZN Midlands music scene, The Chickpeas have quickly become crowd favourites, bringing vibrant, contemporary energy to stages across Hilton, Howick, and the greater Midlands region.

(Above: A scene from “Magic Maids” at the 2025 National Arts Festival, image by Mark Wessels)

 

The National Arts Festival is looking for an Artistic Director. Deadline for applications is October 30, 2026.

The NAF is looking for someone with creative vision to drive the festival into a new era. The Artistic Director will set the curatorial identity of NAF as the NAF strives to be the leading contemporary African arts festival - known for quality, relevance, discovery and international reach rather than size alone.

The NAF is hiring for a five-year renewable-term for a part-time Artistic Director who will be working alongside the CEO and chairing an Artistic Committee of practising artists, curators and sector experts. The Artistic Director curates across every discipline, from theatre and dance to music, visual art, film and digital work.

It’s also an opportunity to play a role in shaping the sector; leading a New Works programme that commissions and develops fresh work, steering the Fringe as an innovation laboratory and developing emerging talent through a New Voices initiative. The AD will also build exchange with festivals across Africa and the world.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape a new direction while building on 52 years of legacy and integrity. If it’s calling your name, apply below before October 30, 2026 (23h50 SAST).

Don’t miss the Fringe entry window

The window to apply for The Fringe is currently open and closing on November 8, 2026.

https://forms.zohopublic.com/nationalartsfestival/form/NAFFringeProductionApplications/formperma/rtej7_-6ur9SD8TifcXMP24lRxqdHvK5kZyc9rBX_WA

While the Fringe is not curated around artistic consideration, space is limited and demand is very high. The Festival looks at the available space and reviews the geographic origin of work, diversity, language, genre and audience appetite to create a diverse and robust Fringe Festival.

The Fringe is independent and unfunded. This means that creators are responsible for raising the funds to produce and present their work. Ideally fundraising for the project should begin now.

Artists who apply for the Fringe are only registering their interest. This does not guarantee them a place. The Festival will inform all applicants whether their registration has been confirmed by February 1, 2027.

 

Beyond the Stage

The Fringe also lives outside of the theatre. If you have work that lives in the streets, is an event, conversation, idea or experience don’t hesitate to apply.

The Festival is also encouraging artists who are working at the intersection of creativity and technology and who are exploring indigenous knowledge systems to apply.

During the National Arts Festival, new Fringe shows are reviewed by an anonymous Ovations Panel and excellence is awarded through the Ovation Awards. At the end of the Festival, additional Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards are awarded for work that stood out.

Productions who win Ovation Awards get to carry an Ovation Awards badge on their marketing, funding applications and festival applications; an endorsement of positive independent review and a signal to audiences that a newcomer show should be on their watchlist.  

 

NB:

If you’re ready to take the plunge and serious about raising the funds to get to Makhanda in 2027, head to the Fringe application form below and sign up by 23h59 on November 8, 2026!

THEATRE BY THE SEA

 Alongside Maritime Museum: Sunday October 25, 2026, 09h00 until 16h00

 

Theatre by the Sea: A special one-off free festival honouring the Sea as a force, a resource, a pantry, a playground, a boundary, and source of endless inspiration, mystery, relevance and joy, will be staged in Durban this Sunday, October 25, in the open space alongside the Maritime Museum off Durban’s Esplanade.

The festival will comprise a free programme of street theatre in different performance genres from drama to music to dance, all honouring the sea in different ways.10 groups will be participating – seven from KZN and three from the Eastern Cape.

Funded by the National Arts Council (NAC); in partnership with the Department of Sport, Arts & Culture and Rooted Twins Community Arts Organisation, supported by the Port Natal Maritime Museum and BAT Centre, the festival comprises a day of performances of around 15 minutes each from 10h00 onwards.

The day will open at 09h00 with participants performing a ritual honouring the sea. Thereafter from 09h00 until 10h00 there will be a participative community clean-up of the area around the Maritime Museum.

 

(Deeply Rooted twins - Vumile and Vuma Madlanga. Pic Shelley Kjonstad)

The festival comes out of the notion that Zulu cultural practices suggest twins should not engage with the sea. Vuma and Vumile Madlanga have spent their lives living close to the ocean but having never actually swam, paddled or submerged themselves into the sea water. They set up the festival for art makers to grapple with the various traditions and cultural responses we have with the sea. 

“We are celebrating theatre that connects us to nature, spirit and the wisdom of our ancestors. We will have one stage by the ocean to tell stories that heal, dances that remember and music that moves your soul,” says Vumile.

 “Bring your family. Bring your spirit. Bring your summer joy. This is theatre that breathes with the sea,” concurs Vuma.

Entry is free and all are welcome!

Bring refreshments, water to drink, something to sit on, sunhats, sunscreen and shades.

Park by the BAT Centre / Maritime Museum / Small craft harbour

DAVID SPURRETT FOR ST CLEMENTS

 

(Left: David Spurrett)

 

On the Pieter Scholtz Stage*, an intriguing focus for the November 2^nd "Mondays at Six" St Clements programme. During the past six months they’ve had elephants, botanicals and bees. 

Now, a gentle transition: to philosophy and human be-ings with Professor David Spurrett, who will share observations and provocations from his new book, Whose Mind is It Anyway?

David Spurrett calls himself a naturalist philosopher of cognitive science and biology. His current research is about how technology of various kinds can subvert our own thinking processes. He has applied this to a variety of examples including electronic gambling machines, high-heeled shoes, cigarettes and mind-controlling parasites.

At the November Mondays at Six, he will introduce two big ideas in thinking about cognition — ‘hostility’ and ‘scaffolding’ — and explain what happens when they come together. He’ll say a little about the book he’s writing on these topics (Whose Mind is It Anyway?) and answer questions.

To share a paragraph from his website: “Bodies and external resources make significant contributions to cognition by living beings and some artificial ones. This is now widely recognised, but not long ago the mainstream view was that cognition was exclusively internal and neural (or computational). The fact that cognition can extend into bodies and environments is generally presented as good news for users of technologies that augment or improve. There undoubtedly are benefits, but extended cognition brings vulnerabilities. Any agent might be useful to others, so we should expect those vulnerabilities to be found and exploited…”

David Spurrett grew up in South Africa, Zimbabwe and the UK. He studied philosophy at the University of Natal and King’s College London, and is professor of philosophy at UKZN where he has received a distinguished teacher’s award, the vice chancellor’s research award, and a fellowship. He has co-written or co-edited books on addiction, problem gambling, cognition and the will, and philosophy of science. Previous book titles include Midbrain Mutiny and what is addiction? His main hobbies, “which I should have started much younger”, include learning to play the piano and studying Kenjutsu.

The programme takes place at 18h00 on Monday, November 2, 2026.

KAREN AND ME

 (Above: Shannon Kenny & Alan Judd)

There is a Karen Carpenter-voiced song for every occasion - first love, break-ups, make-ups, introspection and sheer joie de vivre.

In Karen & Me, coming to The Old Mushroom Farm, well-known actress Shannon Kenny is accompanied by virtuoso musician Alan Judd on a unique journey to celebrate an international musical great of the 20th Century through snapshots of Karen Carpenter’s life and illustrious career and its indelible imprint on generations of people around the world from the USA to the UK and on Shannon’s life in good old RSA.

THIS SHINING NIGHT

Durban Chamber Choir presents This Shining Night - Music Shining Light into Darkness:

November 1 at 15h00: Kloof Methodist Church

November 8 at 15h00: St Thomas, Musgrave

 

This Shining Night: The Durban Chamber Choir invites audiences to celebrate the joy of choral singing in two beautiful November concerts which focus on Music Shining Light into Darkness.

Building on the success of its first two concerts in May and June this year, the Durban Chamber Choir is back with two concerts in November 2026. The first concert takes place at Kloof Methodist Church on Sunday November 1 and the second at St Thomas in Musgrave on Sunday November 8 both at 15h00. Joining the DCC as a special guest is Yosuke Matsui, principal trumpeter at the KZN Philharmonic.

The Durban Chamber Choir presents a carefully-curated programme of music from Renaissance masters to modern jazz standards; Scandinavian composers to traditional isiZulu songs. Highlights include the accessible Ave Verum Corpus from Jenkins and the Sanctus by Sandström - almost plainchant in manner reminiscent of a body of sacred, unaccompanied vocal music used in the liturgies of the Western and Eastern Christian churches. Setting the tone for the afternoon is Barber’s lyrical neo-Romantic art song, Sure on this Shining Night.

Tickets R120 (concessions R80) are available at the door or through Quicket in advance.

REEL BALANCE

Pan-African Film Festival Gender Equity project - Launched at the 17th Durban FilmMART

In a first for the African film ecosystem, seven of the most influential women-focused film advocacy organizations have united for one cause: to ensure gender equity at African film festivals.

REEL BALANCE, initiated by The Ladima Foundation and the Durban FilmMart, is being implemented in partnership with Rawiyat SIF (Sister in Film), Sisters Working in Film & Television (SWIFT), Womxn Activating Transformation Africa (WATA), Girls in Film SA, African Female Filmmakers Collective (AFFC), and African Women in Animation.

REEL BALANCE is tangible and collaborative intervention constructively engaging with over 50 film festivals in Africa to secure a commitment to increase the representation of women, both on screen and behind the scenes.  

Informal research conducted by The Ladima Foundation in early 2026 from 12 film festivals on the continent revealed two key challenges. Firstly, it is apparent that it is extremely difficult to access the data required to accurately interrogate and understand the issues of gender representation at film festivals in Africa. Despite this lack of access to data, the research did clearly yield a second insight; the significant need to increase the representation of films directed and produced by women, and particularly African women at film festivals in Africa.

REEL BALANCE has been designed to address both of these challenges, working in partnership with film festivals via a pledge to be signed that will commit signatory festivals to strive for 50/50 representation for films directed or produced by women, but also in management and jury positions, and in terms of participants in panels and workshops at festival events.

Signatory festivals also commit to sharing data on the number of women filmmakers submitting films, as well as the numbers of those selected. The compiling, benchmarking and reporting on this data over the coming years will be an integral part of the initiative and inform best practice solutions to address identified challenges.

To support this process, REEL BALANCE will harness the power of the eight participating partners who will activate extensive networks across the continent to promote participating festivals and encourage women filmmakers to submit their films to significantly increase the pipeline of available films for selection.

REEL BALANCE is founded on partnership and collaboration, as The Ladima Foundation’s Executive Director Lara Utian explains: “Since its inception in 2018, The Ladima Foundation has worked to address the significant gender imbalances within the film landscape in Africa. We understand that lasting and impactful change takes place only through collaborations and partnerships. This is why we are particularly excited to have initiated REEL BALANCE along with the DFM, and to have been able to partner with so many other like-minded organizations on the continent.

“The fact that so many festivals have already signed the pledge is inspiring and, with our partners, we will continue to engage more festivals over the coming weeks and months. We will also work closely with signatory festivals to support them and to find constructive solutions to address issues of gender imbalance. In partnership with these signatory festivals, we believe that change can and will happen and that we will see more African women represented both on and off screen in the years to come.”

Some 19 festivals have already signed the pledge, reflecting the commitment of their leadership teams to supporting gender equality and transforming Africa’s film festival landscape. These festivals are to be applauded for their willingness to be leaders in the industry and to make intentional efforts to ensure gender parity at their events and REEL BALANCE will work to support and promote these festivals as we work together in the coming years. 

Film festivals that have signed the pledge to date include:

 

● Kitale Film Week (Kenya) https://kitalefilmweek.org/

● Bantu Film Festival (Botswana) https://filmfreeway.com/BantuFilmFestival

● Juiced Short Film Festival (Kenya) https://filmfreeway.com/JuicedFilmFestival

● Luxor African Film Festival (Egypt) https://www.luxorafricanfilmfestival.com/

● Festival International du film de l'océan Indien (Reunion Island) https://fifoi.re/

 

All film festivals within the African continent are invited to become part of this movement and to sign the pledge. Interested festivals can contact lara@ladima.africa for more information.

REEL BALANCE was officially launched on October 10, 2026, at the Durban FilmMart who are co-founders of the initiative with Magdalene Reddy, Director of Durban FilmMart Institute explaining their support: “Since its inception, the Durban FilmMart's purpose has been to develop, support and sustain the African film industry, and to shape how African storytelling is represented in the global market.

“Partnering with The Ladima Foundation on REEL BALANCE is a natural progression of that mission. Lasting change in on-screen representation begins behind the scenes, with the people who select, programme and decide. As the leading film market in Africa, we can speak directly to festivals and industry players in a way advocacy alone cannot. We are using our platform to open the pipeline for African women filmmakers, and to ensure that the commitment is measured, not merely stated.”

REEL BALANCE will continue to engage with film festivals across the continent to sign the pledge as well as to encourage women filmmakers to submit films to signatory festivals. Updates will be issued via media and across partner organization social media platforms.

THE BAMBOOZLED BREAK-IN

Fun comedy frolic - The Bamboozled Break-In

Seabrookes Theatre, DHS: October Friday 30 & Saturday 31

An original, boisterous, fun comedy frolic, The Bamboozled Break-In with Marion Loudon and Cara Roberts, presented by first-time producer, AfriArtsConnect, comes to the Seabrookes Theatre at DHS for one weekend only on Friday 30 and Sat 31 October. 

Two burglars. One house. One very inconvenient coincidence. Vivian (Marion Loudon) is a seasoned professional with years of experience and a reputation for getting away clean. Zanie (Cara Roberts) is a first-time thief whose approach is considerably less polished.

When their carefully-planned heists collide, chaos erupts. With tempers flaring and plans falling apart, the two must decide if they can trust each other. In this high-energy comedy, working together may be the only way out. 

Their unexpected encounter turns a straightforward burglary into a night of confusion, comic misunderstandings, physical chaos and revelations. Based on Jacolien Lüneburg's Dubbeldief - a comedic, satirical play translated from the Afrikaans and adapted by Ilana van den Berg, the production is directed by Ilana van den Berg and produced by AfriArtsConnect.
