MOSSEL BAY NEWS - The Mossel Bay Creative Cultures Association (MOCCA) hosted its last Open Mic event in KwaNonqaba on Sunday in preparation for its big bash at the Soul Festival in July.
The venue, Bra-B Kitchen, also known as Club Siyabangena on Mayixhale Road, was the spot for Sunday's "chilled" session featuring poets, rappers and singers from Mossel Bay and Great Brak River.
Being Father's Day, the atmosphere was particularly pleasant. Young children filtered in and out of the venue, enjoying the entertainment as much as the older members of the audience.

Open Mic events, since their inception in November 2017, have become a platform where local talent is developed, artist collaborations are formed and moreover, cross-cultural bridges are built.
Artists selected from the Open Mic sessions held over the past months will perform at a special concert at the Pot aan die prut concert on Saturday, 14 July at the Soul Festival, when the biggest cast iron pot in South Africa will be used to prepare potjiekos.
A recording of this concert with be compiled on DVD and sold later this year for a charitable cause.
