Urgent Announcements

Dear Festival Exhibitors/Stall Holders

PLEASE NOTE:

In light of the disruptions in the transport services sector and related unrest, Artscape has decided to cancel the outdoor activities planned for the annual Artscape Women’s Humanity Arts Festival on Wednesday 9 August 2023. This is as per advice and directive received from the City of Cape Town Law Enforcement Services.

The following activities have therefore been cancelled for 9th August:

Exhibitors and stall holders

Humanity Walk with inter-faith Blessing and poetry

Outdoor entertainment

Should you wish to attend Artscape in your personal capacity on Wednesday 9 August, you are welcome to do so. Marlene Le Roux, her team at Artscape and Woman Zone will have activities inside the building from 11h00 on Wednesday 9 August such as viewing photographic exhibits inside Artscape, and poetry recitals. There will be NO gathering outside Artscape as this creates a potential safety risk.

The stage productions on 9 August at 14h00, 15h00 and 18h30 will go ahead so if you have bought tickets for any of these productions, they will go ahead as planned.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may incur, however the safety of all stakeholders in relation to the outdoor activities is of paramount importance.

Thank you for your support.

RKP Attorneys Inc. welcomes the Constitutional Court landmark ruling as a victory for all women insofar as in the past courts could issue redistribution orders in certain cases of divorce where spouses have been married out of the community of property without accrual - but only if they were married before 1984 which situation resulted in disproportionate discrimination against women which amounted to indirect discrimination against women because of the disproportionate way in which they were impacted, and therefore the ruling is that spouses may, regardless of when you were married, claim and the court could potentially step in.
