If it is loud and constant laughter you are seeking over the festive season, make sure you make it to see performances of Joker is Queen, a highlight of the Playhouse Company’s year-end package of entertainment. This hilarious show, turning the spotlight on the extensive talents of popular comics and stars of stage, film and television, Leeanda Reddy and Kaseran Pillay, is to be staged in the Playhouse Drama theatre on Friday, 13th and 14th December at 7.30pm. Joker is Queen is part of the Durban arts body’s jam-packed Christ- mas season programme which includes a sumptuous ballet, a new musical-comedy penned by Clinton Marius, a jazz concert, a wildlife-themed Gcina Mhlophe production for the young, and a lavish Christmas-themed concert with the KZN Philharmonic and guest artists. An extravaganza of 10 unrelated comic sketches, featuring 24 di- verse and colourful characters, all played by Reddy and Pillay, Joker is Queen opens with a throwback to the arrival of the first In- dians in South Africa – in a paddle boat, because they missed the main ship! – and then takes many different, unpredictable comic turns. A slick and energetic production, it is a collection of highlights from previous sketch-based stage successes from the team – shows including Buckled, Queens of Comedy, Old School, Glued and 150 Years and Still Laughing. It is comedy at its best, with the characters all depicted with light- ning-fast changes of costumes, wigs and accents – including a con- cerned nurse, a frustrated teacher, an old-school principal, a sycophantic news reporter and assorted know-it-alls, oddballs and misfits.

The Greenwood Park Senior Citizenʼs Club held its first Sports and Fun Day at the Co- lumbia Primary School Grounds, on Sunday. The dayʼs proceedings started with a march past with all its proud members, followed by exciting field events. Breakfast and lunch were provided to keep the sprightly seniors energetic and ready for the various sporting activities. Chairman, Nad Pillay, was grateful to all the members, helpers and sponsors for their assistance and commitment to making the first sports day a grand success. The club was established in 1991 and has a membership of 87 people.

As a symbolic tribute to the 152000 forebears who were shipped by the British to the plantations of colonial Natal between 1860 and 1911, the 1860 Heritage Cen- tre hosted senior citizens at the approximate area where the first indentured ar- rived. The tradition, now taken over the centre, was started by the late father of Krish Gokool in the early 60s. Senior citizens are taken to the beach where a prayer is said. After this, the senior citizens are given lunch and they share memories of their parents' stories. The 1860 Heritage Centre hosted the senior citizens for lunch after the prayer. Professor Joy Brain, a senior historian and one of the leading researchers in the history of Indian indenture in South Africa, was also present at this lunch, together with Prof Jayram Reddy.

A glittering gala dinner was held to com- memorate and pay homage to the 1860 indentured labourers at Sibaya’s Imbizo Conference Centre, recently. A range of dignitaries, academ- ics and other es- teemed guests came together to celebrate the 159th anniversary of the arrival of Indians in South Africa. Guest speak- ers included the likes of Sam Ramsamy, Ashwin Desai, Vassi Naidoo, Selvan Naidoo and Robbie Naidoo. The dinner menu stuck with the theme of the event and included traditional dishes such as General manager of Sibaya Casino and Entertainment Kingdom, samoosas, curries, Mayan Moodley, stands next to the portrait of Monty Naicker.

The Belvedere sailed from Calcutta to Natal on October 4, 1860, while the Truro disembarked from Madras on October 12, 1860. The Truro was the first of the two to dock in Durban on November 16, 1860, with 339 passen- gers with the Belvedere reaching shortly after on November 26, 1860, with 313 pas- sengers, 29 having passed away in the long journey. The majority of immigrants from 1860 to 1866 were assigned to employers along the KZN coastal belt from Verulam to Umzinto. They worked as agricultural labourers on estates where they farmed sugar cane. By the 1890s, Indians were working in almost every part of the Colony as well as on the diamond and gold fields in Transvaal and Kimberly. Even today, the struggles and hard labour of the indentured labourers have not been forgotten. a THE RISING SUN, OVERPORT, NOVEMBER 28, 2019 - www.risingsunoverport.co.za Page 15 Advertise in the classifieds call 4598309/ 4598313 MERCIN TOURS 0372 TO LET CAPE TOUR WAREHOUSE SPACE Table view seaside PHOTOGRAPHIC IN UMZINTO accom. 27 Dec - 3 Jan. 200m2 3 star accom.
