SABC 3 is the broadcast sponsor of the Standard Bank National Arts Festival in Grahamstown this year. It will screen half-hour programmes until July 6 from 18h00 to 18h30.

The programmes include shows, interviews, personalities and all the buzz from Grahamstown for those who cannot be there. Each programme offers an eclectic mix of mainstream productions, fringe shows, the visual and highlights from the Winter School.

The programmes, sponsored by the Standard Bank, are produced by Red Pepper Productions who have made Options and Jam Alley for the SABC.

“We are proud to be associated with the National Arts Festival,” saysa Hannelie Bekker, acting general manager SABC3. “It is still the premier showcase for emerging and established artists and we are happy to offer our viewers the chance to see this wealth of local talent.”
