Shaka von Beethoven

Night owls who care deeply about the arts and social issues in South Africa don’t need to turn in early during the Woordfees. Chatterboxes and curious minds are invited to wrap up each festival day with a nightcap and stimulating conversation at Die Khaya Café, from 13 to 17 October at 21:00. Come early for Open Mic and stay late for the Afterpaartie. This year discussions are led by Kabous Meiring.

Shaka von Beethoven

Shaka Zulu died in 1828 at the age of 41. Ludwig von Beethoven in 1827, at 56. If they lived today, would they know each other? Do we truly know the histories of our brave and broken land of possibilities? What can we learn from them on our way to 2030?
