Local is Lauded

People always compare the South African entertainment industry to the much more established and refined worldwide industry. You usually get comments like: "That's really sounds/looks/was good. For a local/South African band/film/whatever." I'm starting to think our industry is fast catching up to the rest of the world.



If you look at the output of quality products we deliver we can seriously pat ourselves on our back. In the last two days District 9 got nominated in Oscar categories (including Best Picture and Best Screenplay) and one of our own won a Grammy Award.


Yes, SA got a Grammy on Sunday night. Elza van den Heever was part of the eight vocalists part of the album that claimed the Best Classical Album award, a recording of Mahler's 8th Symphony.

Local is playing with the big boys now.
