    Currie Street came alive with colour and sound on Saturday as musicians and dancers practised their acts ahead of appearing on stage at the Amaphuth' ahlathi Makana All Arts Festival.

    Sponsored by the Sarah Baartman district office of the Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture, the Eastern Cape Provincial Arts & Culture Council, artists of every discipline, age and gender breathed new life into Dakawa arts centre for the day.

    As well as being a district festival for performing artists, the event also served as the official handover of materials to the Rhini Crafters.

    Acts from closer to home included the Amaphiko Dancers and the Sakhulutsha Entertainers.

    From further afield the Graaff Reinet Mime Dancers and the Baviaanskloof Drama Group brought a more exotic flavour to the mix.

    Manager of cultural affairs at the Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture's Sarah Baartman district office Hastings Mqhayi, said the Dakawa festival was intended as an annual event that among other things served as a selection process for groups and individuals tobe funded by the Department to participate in the National Arts Festival.
