Blaq Pearl, aka Janine van Rooy, performs the poem IGNORANCE, the Cape Town anthem composed by her late brother Devious aka Mario van Rooy. (Goemarati is made possible by Cape Town Partnership, Department of Economic Development and Tourism)
Being an old buttonnhead, but having left that behind MANY years ago, your brother's poem, hits home...that is exactly what it was like...I live in the UK now and am 44 yrs old, but when I come home, to CT, I will get in touch with you....naai man...he was a prophet,, Sonjaxxx
This Piece is important in its content & impact and i feel it needs to be heard as often as possible...Therefore,i keep it alive,as alive as my brother Devious is within me...Peace+1love to you'll who listens...BlaqPearl
