Howzit from the 2022 National Arts Festival. It is Thursday June 30 and we are heading into the wrap-up weekend of the festival, which ends July 3. There is loads to do- at no charge – so get here and enjoy. See box for details of what is on offer. It has been gratifying to see the support of people who live in Makhanda (formerly Grahamstown – and still refereed to that – by most people –what can I say). There has also been a big influx of people from Port Elizabeth. On the day that the festival kicked off, June 23, it was announced that the indoor mask mandate was being scrapped and that venues could be filled at 100 capacity. This has resulted in last-minute arrivals. I have bumped into tons of people that I know, from Cape Town and Johannesburg who decided on the sour of the moment to get to NAF. Some have made it into a Great South African Road trip and others have managed to get flights. People were encouraged that with the venues being able to sell tickets at 100 capacity, that they could get last-minute tickets- and they have managed to see amazing shows. Get to NAF 2022, closing weekend. #ItWillChangeYou
