Ko Sit Byrrie Tafel with @yasserbooley
“Come, sit at the table.”
SAT 14 FEB
19H30 till late
At The Green House
120 Church Street, Bo-Kaap
An intimate dinner and storytelling evening with Yasser Booley - internationally published photographer, story carrier, and ninth-generation Bo-Kaap local, sharing family recipes and lived history.
An evening of food and image, including a screening of Yasser’s work tracing the pulse of humanity in Cape Town, set against the backdrop of what has shaped this moment.
We’ll gather to eat, to listen, and to hold an open conversation about the legacy of the Bo-Kaap - past, present, and still unfolding.
If you’d like to find out more or reserve a table, please DM @yasserbooley or @thegreenhouse.cpt 🌙🕯️

“When you love what you do….” My latest shoot in the #bokaap thank you @rredahh for allowing me to to photograph the 2 of you! I am available for assignments,bookings , workshops or collaborations.
Today, we lost a giant.
Rashid Lombard was more than a cultural icon, more than a mentor, more than a visionary. He was a father figure to an entire generation of South African musicians. A fierce believer in the transformative power of jazz. A documentarian of our stories. A builder of dreams.
He gave us stages when there were none. He opened doors where only walls existed. Through the Cape Town International Jazz Festival, Rashid created a platform that didn’t just showcase South African excellence - it nurtured it, protected it, celebrated it. For so many of us, that festival was the first time we were seen. Heard. Validated. He changed the course of our lives with that gift.
I am struggling to find the words to describe the depth of my sadness. And yet, I am overwhelmed with gratitude.
Rashid, your legacy is etched into the soul of this country. You showed us how to fight for our voice, and how to hold space for others. You were a warrior for justice, for truth, for music, and for freedom. And you did it all with a camera slung over your shoulder and fire in your heart.
You gave so much, and asked for so little in return.
Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for believing in all of us.
May your journey onward be filled with light — and may we honour your life by continuing to make music, take up space, and tell our stories, boldly.
With deepest love,
Kesivan Naidoo

The story of the legendary District Six ballet dancer, Johaar Mosaval screens at HACC in the heart of DistrictSix. Too short, penniless and on the wrong side of the colour line, he had a dream and rose against all odds.
