Still on the matter of service; last week I bought a bottle of Powerade, and after a few sips I descovered that there was some foreign object inside. The following day, I e-mailed the company that makes the drink, ABI to notify them about this. A few hours later I was called with an assurance that my complaint will be dealt with shortly. Indeed ABI sent somebody to collect the offending bottle and on top of that, I received two bottles of Powerade. So it is good to complain when the service is below par.
When I heard that Ringo will be perfoming at the State Theatre, I quickly rushed to get myself a ticket. Indeed it was a sold out show. A group youngsters from Soshanguve called Afro Percent warmed the stage for Ringo. I must say they literally livened the mood. They delivered beautiful funk. After them it was Mathapelo whose also originally from Soshanguve. The lady is produced by Ringo and is extremely beautiful,but her music did not really move me. In a way she was introducing her new album.
Then it was Ringo. The man is a brand. I think he has found the formula, it will be him who messes it up. He got us dancing for two hours. He is animated on stage, lots of energy and powerful vocal range.
Our good fun was nearly spoilt by a rather rude woman seated next to me. First she arrived late, and had a nerve to ask me to seat at another seat, because she wanted to seat next to her friend, who was seated on my other side. I refused, and this appeared to be my undoing. She was never nice after that. But why wouldn't she, she looked drunk anyway. The question is,why do people get drunk before going to music shows?
I also decided to go the Old Mutual National Choir Festival. My impression of the whole thing this is that SA has huge talent and rich heritage, and it must be supported. Only one sponsor is prepared to support such a great event and that is sad. Despite all this choirs were extremely professional, the audience so animated, the kind of stuff you would like to bottle and sell!
