VIDEO: Mandela Memorial bash at Rhodes

Rhodes University students came together to honour Nelson Mandela through song, music and dance at the Nelson Mandela Memorial Concert on 28 February. 

Rhodes University students came together to honour Nelson Mandela through song, music and dance at the Nelson Mandela Memorial Concert on 28 February. 

Hosted at the Settlers Monument, the event included performances by campus-based a capella group Signature Sound, Tri Factor, E-Lastic Band and the Rhodes Dance Society.

SRC Media Councillor Brian Mabe explained that because students had been on vacation when the former president died, they had wanted some way of gathering in his memory.

In that light, there were mixed reactions to some of the performances. Some questioned whether they were appropriate tributes to Mandela.

But for the most part, the crowd seemed pleased.

E-Lastic band members said the value of the initiative was that it had brought together Rhodes students and performers to share their talent, while at the same time honouring Nelson Mandela.
