Concert to honour Dr Ian Player and Magqubu Ntombela

Concert to honour Dr Ian Player and Magqubu Ntombela

Date: 2015-05-01
The second Industrial Strength Blues Concert will take place at Clark and Kent on 30 May and showcase phenomenal original Blues by the Tim Wells Blues Band and some great swing and jazz with the Theo Bophela's Nqwelo Afrika band, to raise funds for a memorial artwork to be made by internationally renowned artist, Andries Botha honouring the life and philosophy of the late Dr Ian Player and his mentor Magqubu Ntombela.

87 year old Player, who died last November after a short illness, is credited with saving the white rhino from extinction in KwaZulu-Natal in the 1950s through the effective Operation Rhino campaign. He founded the Wilderness Leadership School (WLS) which for 55 years have been living their mission of "reconnecting people with nature and self".

Andries Botha shared his dream with the executive and board of the WLS and they endorse and support the project. The WLS will be the umbrella PBO for this project providing leadership and project management and will work in collaboration with other stakeholder partners to ensure that the project is brought to its final conclusion.

"We are looking for people to recognise the importance of this concept. We need to find meaningful ways of building capacity, especially among younger people, to enhance a consciousness of nature," considers Botha.
