Tongaat Child Welfare's Charity Fair 2014

Tongaat Child Welfare's Charity Fair 2014

Date: 2014-03-21
It is all systems go for a Charity Fair to remember. Tongaat Child Welfare's Charity Fair 2014 would be held from 26 March to 30 March 2014. The Charity Fair is in its twenty fourth year and is the highlight on the social calendar of the community of Tongaat. This years Charity Fair has been dedicated to our icon the late Nelson Mandela.

The highlight of our Charity Fair, the Mandela Tribute Concert featuring PJ POWERS. , PJ's musical career has spanned several decades and crosses all barriers of both age and race. Famous since the eighties when "Hotline" was the largest selling band in South Africa, her solo career has contained many highlights. She has recorded 17 albums. She has sung with many of the greats: Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masekela, Eric Clapton, Joan Armitrading and Harry Belafonte. But, perhaps the highlight was receiving a letter from the late former President Nelson Mandela from Victor Verster Prison. It was Madiba who asked her to sing the "World In Union" in 1995 when South Africa won the Rugby World Cup, and again he honored her, asking PJ to write the special song for his 85th birthday, which she sang in front of a celebrity filled room including the Clinton's and Oprah amongst many others. She also sang at the inauguration of Mandela as the first democratic President. In 2009 PJ's rendition of the "World In Union" was featured in the Academy Award-nominated film "Invictus".

In the 80?s PJ was named Thandeka, the Loved One by the people of Soweto when she sang one of her biggest hits, "Jabulani" at the stadium of that name. A prolific song writer, some of her best known hits are, "You're So Good To Me", "There Is An Answer" and "Feel So Strong".

The curtain closes on yet another memorable Charity Fair with another local band that has made a name for itself; Shackles. 

Entertainment for the whole family with Eddie Chetty's Fun Fair and a variety of stalls selling an array of merchandise.  Our food stalls have over years received its best ratings from the critics that matter, the patrons of our Fair. 

The Tongaat Child Welfare Charity Fair is the place to be where best value entertainment for the whole family is our motto. See you at Charity Fair 2014.  Visit us on : https://www.tcw.org.za
