FLYING HIGH IN MZANSI

The opening of the festival which had artists from as far as United States of America at Emperors Palace by the Gauteng Jazz Orchestra and African Soul Sisters set the stage alight. As the night went down with soothing sounds from the sisters, time for the star of the night finally arrived. Wynton Marsalis, 49-year-old trumpeter has nine Grammy Awards, the first jazz musician to win the Pulitzer Prize for music and also holds an honorary degree.

American jazz legend set the stage alight as many got lost into his music often clapping hands and cheering while others seemed to be lost in deep thoughts as the music mesmerized their ears.

The festival continued through Friday and this time at the home of the arts, Newtown.  A stroll around brings one to the market theatre, Arts Museum and many other attractions. As the night approached, with sun setting behind tall buildings of eGoli and the city lights coming to life we all braced ourselves for yet another night of bliss and we were not disappointed.

Mango Groove, Take note, Ringo, Alexander O’ Neal, Brussels Jazz Orchestra, Oliver Mtukuzi, Simphiwe Dana, Sibongile Khumalo, Hugh Masekela and many more all set the festival alight on all the different stages within the festival arena.

Although Pretoria or Jacaranda City is only about 50km from Johannesburg, it offers a different and completely different experience as compared to the busy and fast paced Jozi. Extreme sport is available for the wild at heart. Wonderboom Airport is where one finds Tshwane’s adrenaline pumping home of the brave, Pretoria Skydiving Club. My excitement levels were high when we reached the club as this was going to be my first time ever to skydive.

The question that most of my fellow media crew wanted to know was the altitude at which we will jump off the aircraft. “At 11000 feet, we’ll jump off the aircraft and freefall for 40 seconds at the 240km/ hour” was the answer by Tandem Master Paul Kruger.
