Do you have any plans for the Easter Weekend? Port Alfred is looking good at this stage.

Port Alfred—The inaugural Bands At The Beach Music Festival is the highlight of the Port Alfred Easter Festival, which takes place over the Easter Weekend of 29 March—1 April.

The Bands At The Beach Music Fest, happening on Saturday, 30 March, at the West Beach car park at Guido’s Restaurant, is also a perfect family outing. With a kiddie’s play area, childminders, and a jumping castle, we welcome you to bring the whole family along. It is a fundraiser for the local NSRI Station 11, which will be in charge of water safety during the festival’s ocean events.

From Sophiatown to Triomf

By 1963, Sophiatown had been physically razed to the ground. In a final act of psychological warfare, the government built a white working-class suburb over the rubble and named it Triumph (Triomf). They wanted to erase the very memory of Sophiatown from the landscape. For decades, the name Sophiatown disappeared from maps, replaced by the neat, sterile streets of the victors.

The “resurrection” of Sophiatown began officially in 2006, when the City of Johannesburg formally restored the original name to the suburb. Today, the neighborhood is a quiet, leafy residential area, but the ghosts of the “Paris of the Transvaal” are everywhere. The Sophiatown Heritage Centre, housed in the former home of Dr. A.B. Xuma (a former ANC president), is one of the few original buildings that escaped the bulldozers. Walking through the streets today, you can still find small markers of the past: a lone Victorian pillar, a specific tree mentioned in a poem, or the rebuilt St. Joseph’s Church.

The legacy of Sophiatown is not just one of tragedy, but of an indestructible cultural spirit. The music, the slang (Tsotsitaal), and the “Drum” era aesthetic continue to influence South African fashion and film today. It serves as a reminder that while you can bulldoze a house and rename a street, you cannot kill the soul of a place that once danced to the sound of a thousand saxophones.
