The first Ponta do Ouro Spring Festival will be taking place on the 1-4th September to bring on summer and get you out of the winter blues you might be in. This is the first Spring festival and is a opportunity for everyone who would like to participate in future events to attend and discuss what it is you would like to promote, events, activities etc. We will in the mean time try and organise a couple of basic events but encourage everyone to come to Ponta do Ouro to celebrate Spring anyway even if you do not want to be involved. Ponta has so much to offer and really needs a week to promote what it has going for itself like most of your other festivals in major centers such as the Knysna(Oyster Festival). Currently we hope to organise within the time we have the following: # Kite Boarding competition - Durban(Flexifoil?) vs Cape Town(Cabrinha?) # Surfing competition # SUP competition # Scuba diving specials # Dolphin swimming specials # Free diving/Spear fishing specials # Beach soccer event - ideally Durban vs Ponta to start with. # Photographic Competition - Land and Oceans Macro, Wide and Zoom # Videography Music videos- - Land and Oceans (could include Festival activities) # Music at various venues # Ponta Malongane Music Festival (not confirmed) # Maputo Elephant park tours Any other suggestion woud be welcome....

Rev. Dr. V. Dilkumar B.Sc. MIE. C. Eng. DD Founder and Senior Overseeing Pastor King's Revival Church (Intl) Ministries / Miracle Moments A chartered Engineer from Sri Lanka with accreditation from the USA, UK, Australia, and Sri Lanka. Dr. Dilkumar arrived in Dubai, United Arab Emirates in 1983 to work for a large consortium. Dr. Dilkumar gave his heart to the Lord in 1984 while in Dubai. God truly intervened and saved him and filled him with His Holy Spirit at a critical place in his life. During the "first seven years" the Lord used him as an "evangelist" empowered by the Holy Spirit to preach and minister the Gospel to the broken hearted and the sick in many churches and fellowships in the UAE. God confirms His Word with signs, wonders and miracles where he ministers. In the next seven years, the Holy Spirit lifted him to a higher calling and anointing, to pioneer and "pastor" King's Revival Church (Intl) Ministry (KRCI). People from multi-ethnic groups attend multi lingual services throughout the week (14 services per week) making KRCI one of the largest, overflowing, and fastest growing Full Gospel Churches in the Middle East with branches and affiliations worldwide. The Lord lifted Dr. Dilkumar into an "apostolic" ministry in 1997. This enabled him to travel extensively to conduct "Miracle Moments Healing & Blessing Festivals" and anointed teaching sessions which now formed the "Miracle School for Healing & Wholeness" in many countries. Now pasturing the largest ...

Give an AIDs orphan in Mozambique a video camera and a mentor and his story can impact the world. Two renowned filmmakers, Chris Zalla (2007 Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner) and Neal Baer (Executive Producer of Law & Order: SVU), went to Maputo, Mozambique in August 2007, to help a child who had lost both parents to AIDS make a film about his life. With Chris and Neal, 16-year-old Alcides Soares learned the art of filmmaking and was able to tell his story as a boy living alone in the world. Alcides' life reflects that of an entire generation of Mozambican children -- over 500000 of them having lost their parents to AIDS. Home Is Where You Find It, is BYkids' first film and has won 6 major awards at international film festivals.

Ne lui parlez pas dun maloya figé, dune île de la Réunion aux frontières hermétiques ou de vie sans métissage, Nathalie Natiembé est bien vivante et elle le revendique. Apparue sur la scène internationale en 1997, la chanteuse est lune des représentantes les plus inspirées de son île. Des rues de St-Denis à celles du Mozambique en passant par les festivals européens, elle offre au public, une vision originale de sa musique. Un maloya trempé dans la chanson française, qui retrouve ses couleurs africaines ou qui se mélange aux autres cultures de lOcéan Indien. "Je suis faite pour des percussions que lon ne frappe pas mais que lon secoue", souligne-t-elle en expliquant la symbolique du triangle qui servait à rappeler les esclaves des champs et qui est aujourdhui couramment utilisé dans les groupes réunionnais. Son premier album, sorti en 2001, lui a permis de partir en tournée, jusquau Mozambique où elle a retrouvé ses racines. Le second "Sankér", sorti en 2005, imprégné de ce retour aux sources souvre toujours plus aux autres cultures. La force de Nathalie Natiembé tient dans ses textes, véritables poèmes de la vie quotidienne où se mêlent ses influences : reggae, blues, Edith Piaf ou Charles Trenet, sans oublier ses maîtres Danyel Waro et Alain Peters. Filmé au Festival Musiques Métisses dAngoulême.
