Hallelujah! It’s raining soup

Every square inch of Café Blanca was covered with Rhodes students on Saturday night. The purpose of this mass invasion was the Singing for Soup concert, a fundraising initiative by Masincedane, the Rhodes  University soup kitchen society.

Every square inch of Café Blanca was covered with Rhodes students on Saturday night. The purpose of this mass invasion was the Singing for Soup concert, a fundraising initiative by Masincedane, the Rhodes  University soup kitchen society.

Masincedane, which means ‘we help each other’, is a soup kitchen in Xolani which is run from the house of Cynthia Belwane three times a week.

This was the second year Singing for Soup took place, and the turnout was phenomenal. There was no place for a mouse, and the soup and bread was sold out by 10pm. Local bands, poets and freestylers took to the stage to sing, as it were, for soup and for the needy.

This year the lineup included local acts Dave Knowles, The Life of Riley, Two Cats and a Fiddle, Phenomena, unGAMAd, Stones and Luke, Mike Fabricious and Matthew Collins.

Members of the Bua poetry club lit up the stage with their fiercely beautiful words. Soup and bread were sold to the hungry students, and all the proceeds will go to Masincedane.

Stones and Luke’s cover of the South African band aKing song Safe as Houses captured the essence of the night: “Safe as houses/ tuck me in/ daylight waits for no man/ you’re still young and breathing’s easy/ suck it in.”
