The Gauteng MEC for Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation Ms Nelisiwe Mbatha- Mthimkhulu will unveil the Kippie Moeketsi statue or memorial as part of the provincial Heritage month activities.
The unveiling will be done at the site of the Kippies Jazz Club in Newtown. The building was almost demolished a few years ago when the provincial Heritage Resource Authority of Gauteng (HRA-G) stepped in and provisionally declared it a heritage site.
A project to collect, transcribe and publish Kippies music will be initiated as part of preserving our heritage.
Media is invited to attend.
