I bought tickets for the Sydney show. I received an email from Ticketmaster today saying that the show has been postponed until March 2009. Exact date yet to be determined. Tickets for November show still valid for March.
It's not exactly surprising as, as far as I'm aware, there has been zero advertising for the tour. I've seen nothing, and I've been actively looking for it! I can only assume that the promoters are planning to rectify that over the next four months.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to make a March show. I'm going away for a couple of weeks during that month and, if the dates clash, I'll have to get a refund.

Johnny Clegg is one of South Africa’s most celebrated sons. He is a singer, a songwriter, a dancer, anthropologist and a musical activist whose infectious crossover music, a vibrant blend of Western pop and African Zulu rhythms, has exploded onto the international scene – and broken through all barriers.
In France were he continues to enjoy a massive following, he is fondly called Le Zulu Blanc.
Clegg used his music to send out a strong anti-apartheid message and no song was more powerful than Asimbonanga, Clegg’s tribute to the jailed Nelson Mandela. His performance of this song today with Madiba as a free man and in the year of Mandela’s ninetieth birthday, still sends shivers down the spine of the audience who are continuously in awe of his fine leadership attributes. Mandela has joined Johnny Clegg on stage during the 46664 Aids Awareness Concerts, a name lent to the events by Madiba from his Robben Island prison number.
The haunting refrain Impi (meaning Zulu warrior) regularly echoes within any South African rugby stadium which, together with Great Heart from the movie Jock of the Bushveld have achieved for Clegg anthem status with crowds in his home country.

Bio:
Jesse was born in Johannesburg in 1988. By the time he was six months old he was on tour with his father, Johnny Clegg, and between 1988 and 1994 he spent at least 5 months a year on the road. He was a classic road kid and grew up backstage and on tour buses.
Early on, Jesse carved out an independent direction for himself in the rock genre, very different from the world music style developed by his father. He strived to express himself in the most authentic way possible and understood the importance of being able to perform live. He experimented with a number of different instruments - which included saxophone, clarinet, drums and piano – until he settled and focused mainly on guitar. By seventeen, songwriting was his chief musical focus and it was in this period and the years to follow that he honed his writing skills and put together the songs recorded on the first album.
The single "Today" which was released on radio in mid August 2008 debuted at number one on the Highveld Homebrew Chart, a considerable feat for a debut artist with a debut single and an historical first for Homebrew. The album "When I Wake Up" is due for national release on 1 October.

Yet another controversy has hit the SABC over claims that the broadcaster demands payola from musicians.
A number of musicians from Mzwakhe Mbuli and Johnny Clegg to hip-hop artist HHP have blasted the national broadcaster’s officials for demanding that local artists plump down up to R3000 a minute for on-air interviews.
They say the controversial policy harms the music industry and is open to abuse by unscrupulous DJs, producers and programme managers.
The musicians aren’t sure how much of the money goes to the broadcaster and how much lines DJs’ pockets.
SABC spokesman Kaizer Kganyago denies that musicians must pay to be interviewed on the public broadcaster’s airwaves and says musicians only pay to advertise their CDs. Denials notwithstanding, investigations are underway in at least two of South Africa’s biggest radio stations.
“Though I personally have not been asked for money, I have heard there is something called payola whereby people on radio are given money to play certain music,” said HHP.
“What I know for sure, and what I condemn, is the policy of the SABC requiring artists to pay for interviews. This is wrong because artists from overseas are not required to pay.”
The enraged artist said musicians had recently been turning to African language stations to promote their music. But these stations wanted to see the colour of the musicians’ cash before conducting an interview.
The scandal has also left People’s Poet Mzwakhe Mbuli flaming mad: “I don’t understand how the public broadcaster could come up with such a policy, which applies only to artists in the country. Overseas artists visiting South Africa do not pay for interviews.”
In April, Ukhozi FM interviewed the maskandi veteran Johnny Clegg at the station’s studio in Durban before the musician performed at a local gig.
“The interview lasted five minutes and I have never heard any of my songs played on the station,” Clegg said.
But his manager was told to cough up R14 000 for the interview.
Manager Patric Meyer corroborated Clegg’ s experience with Ukhozi.
Meyer said though Clegg’s promoters knew they were not paying for airplay at the station, they had assumed the station would play one or two of his new songs after the interview.
“Johnny has four Zulu songs on his album. They have never played one, not even once,” said Meyer.
Kganyago said he would have to know all the facts before investigating the matter.
He confirmed that the SABC was investigating Ukhozi FM for allegedly taking bribes from musicians.
“But I don’t know the issues, so I can’t say what was happening there,” he said.
Jazzz pianist Don Laka said he was shocked by the SABC’s recent policy of charging artists who are interviewed on air.
“I think this is the only country in the world that requires musicians to pay for an interview. ”
Johnny Clegg exposes SA`s e-waste
By Candice Jones - Posted: 19 August 2008 - http://www.itweb.co.za/sections/quickprint/print.asp?StoryID=188481
SA is generating vast quantities of electronic waste; however, the impact of e-waste in the country is hidden.
According to Johnny Clegg, local musician and e-waste evangelist, delivering a keynote address at Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2008, in Cape Town, there is a close connection between the dumping of e-waste and poverty.
Clegg said the large quantities of scrap metal that PCs produce created a new sector within the informal economy, known as metal and PC board scavengers. "The metal that people can salvage from the computer parts represents cash in hand for them. When they turn in a hard drive or metal to a dealer, they can at least put food on the table."
While SA has better regulation to protect against the illegal dumping of electronic goods, there are still those who are dumping, burning and shredding in areas that are not designated for these activities, he said.
Clegg`s presentation illustrated several dumping grounds in and around Johannesburg and Pretoria, which are close to agricultural areas and are affecting drinking water and food production.
While SA`s legal system does not specifically qualify the law around e-waste, it does provide for the disposal and destruction of toxic elements, he noted. "People have been and will continue to be prosecuted for illegal disposal."
Companies that are caught dumping illegally could be fined, which in turn will bring bad publicity, he added. "If companies are listed, they will experience falling stock prices."
It`s a goldmine
Clegg commented that part of the disposal opportunities for PC motherboards comes in the form of "shredding". When people shred mainboards, the toxins contained in them are mixed and released into the environment.
According to him, the process is also often used for illegal gold and platinum production. While one ton of excavation will produce one ounce of gold, one ton of e-waste can produce up to six ounces of gold. "The gold is then exported along with the shredded waste and a market is created for it."
Copper is also a large local market and is often associated with the burning of the waste, said Clegg. He added that people could get around R20 for 1kg of copper.
While many African countries, like Ghana and Nigeria, are being affected by dumping from Europe and the US, disguised as donations, SA has managed to escape this. The country also does not export e-waste into other African countries, he said.
According to Clegg`s figures, SA is estimated to produce around 50 000 tons of e-waste a year. The US produces 2.5 million tons and Europe around 10 million tons. Of that, around 95% can be recycled, but the problem is the cost, he explained.
However, the more the e-waste recycling and disposal industry grows, the less it will cost, he concluded.
eWaste open to abuse
Alastair Otter, MyBroadband 19 August, 2008 10:53:00 http://mybroadband.co.za/news/Hardware/4882.html
Johnny Clegg speaks out on electronic waste
Although eWaste only accounts for 2% to 3% of the substance of landfills it contributes about 60% of the toxicity of landfill sites. This is according to African Sky's Johnny Clegg who was speaking at the Gartner Symposium in Cape Town yesterday.
Clegg, the famous South Africa singer, said that there were many misconceptions about eWaste and its consequences. Among these, he said, was that companies would not be held liable for illegal dumping of old IT equipment. Clegg said that just because old IT equipment had been handed over to a "recycler", companies were obliged to ensure that equipment was correctly and safely recycled.
Clegg said that in South Africa there was a lack of proper recycling facilities. He said that recyclers locally were in fact separators and not recyclers. What this meant for companies, he said, was that they must find out where the separated IT equipment went once it left local shores. He said countries such as China and parts of Europe had proper recycling facilities.
Clegg also said that the eWaste sector often attracted criminal elements and organised crime. He said that while the mining industry typically extracted one ounce of gold from one ton of rock, one ton of PC boards yielded as much as six ounces of gold. This made illegal recycling attractive to criminal elements who were able to export the raw waste and import the profits, said Clegg.
Clegg said that one of the other problems with eWaste was that manufacturers did not build a recycling cost into their costs. He said that in European countries PC makers were obliged to include a recycling cost in their production costs to cover the end-of-life disposal of their products.

Technology recycling opportunities are starting to take off in South Africa
Environmental considerations are becoming increasingly important for technology users, be they multinationals looking to improve their public image or consumers worried about their personal carbon footprint. But, in both cases buying "greener" technology is just half the equation. An equally important part is the disposal of hardware when it reaches the end of its useful life, and until recently that was a largely ignored problem.
IT analyst Gartner estimates that as many as 460 000 PCs reach "end of life" every day around the world. Another 550 million mobile phones are estimated to be dumped for a new one every year. Which adds up to a lot of toxic waste that needs to be dealt with.
South African musician turned e-waste recycler, Johnny Clegg, says that as much as 60% of the toxicity in waste dump sites in directly related to e-waste and yet e-waste accounts for just 2% to 3% of the actually waste in a typical waste site.
The problem that exists, however, is that e-waste recycling is a specialised service and South Africa doesn't yet have the facilities to recycle the entire e-waste package. Typically, South African waste recyclers will salvage the obvious materials from PCs - the metal casings and plastics - and then crush the motherboards for shipment to overseas recyclers, usually in China or Europe.
Technology dump
With current techniques, as much as 98% of a normal PC can be recycled, says Clegg, but the problem locally is that consumers and businesses don't know where to dispose of their old hardware.
Fortunately this is starting to improve with a number of initiatives launched recently. One of these is the joint Makro-FujitsuSiemens collection points at a number of Makro stores. The Woodmead branch of Makro in Gauteng launched its collection point in August this year and collected 3.7 tons of e-waste in the first month. Collection points are also being set up in other provinces.
Another, more recent, initiative is one by Nokia which will soon be available in at least 20 locations around the country. The sites will provide boxes for owners of old mobile phones to deposit them for recycling. Nokia at this point won't recycle the phones locally but will ship them overseas for processing.
At the other end of the scale, Sun Microsystems South Africa also offers a recycling opportunity to its customers. Sun server hardware tends to be big and very expensive so instead the hardware gathering dust in a corner Sun covers the costs of removing the hardware and shipping it overseas for recycling. And because customers have invested significant money in the old hardware, Sun negotiates a discount on new Sun hardware in exchange for the old hardware. Interestingly, Sun will remove and recycle any server hardware - irrespective of brand - when it is replaced with Sun servers.

The concert proceeds will benefit Nelson Mandela's HIV/AIDS charity 46664 that he founded in 2002. "I am supposed to be retired but my friends and the charitable organizations that bear my name want to use my 90th birthday year to raise funds to continue our work and so of course I want to help them," said Nelson Mandela.
"Nelson Mandela epitomizes strength and courage around the world. He has come to symbolize hope, working tirelessly through his 46664 organization to raise awareness about the impact of AIDS, especially in Africa, and promote HIV prevention measures globally," said Tom Calderone, VH1's Executive Vice President, General Manager. "We at VH1 have a long history of proactively engaging our viewers in the fight against HIV/AIDS. We are proud to be a part of this momentous occasion and are eager to share the celebration with music fans across the U.S."
Mr. Mandela made HIV AIDS the target of his 'new fight' in 2002 and the 46664 campaign was launched with a concert in Cape Town on November 29th 2003 under the direction of Dave Stewart, Annie Lennox and Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor with support from artists such as Bono, The Edge and Beyonce,
46664 takes its name from Mr. Mandela's Robben Island prison number. He was prisoner number 466, incarcerated in 1964.
At the time of Mr. Mandela's release in 1990 South Africa recorded 120,000 people living with HIV. Today the number of South Africans living with HIV AIDS exceeds 5.5. million.
Inspired by the vision and leadership of Nelson Mandela, 46664 is an African response to the global HIV AIDS epidemic that invites the whole world to take the fight in hand.
A campaign vehicle of the Nelson Mandela charitable organisations, 46664 raises funds to support the ongoing 46664 campaign and the HIV AIDS projects it directly supports throughout sub-Saharan Africa. 46664's project funds develop and support practical programmes for the prevention, testing, and care and support for those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS
46664 recently unveiled its new campaign "It's in our hands," which will build on its past achievements and expand its outreach activities in South Africa to communities and schools to engage the youth who are at most at risk. The not-for-profit organisation harnesses the universal connecting power of music, sport and entertainment to deliver its messages primarily to the younger generations. The campaign is supported by over 80 international ambassadors from the world of sport and entertainment.

He has come to symbolize hope, working tirelessly through his 46664 organization to raise awareness about the impact of AIDS, especially in Africa, and promote HIV prevention measures globally," said Tom Calderone, VH1's Executive Vice President, General Manager. "We at VH1 have a long history of proactively engaging our viewers in the fight against HIV/AIDS. We are proud to be a part of this momentous occasion and are eager to share the celebration with music fans across the U.S."
Mr. Mandela made HIV AIDS the target of his 'new fight' in 2002 and the 46664 campaign was launched with a concert in Cape Town on November 29th 2003 under the direction of Dave Stewart, Annie Lennox and Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor with support from artists such as Bono, The Edge and Beyonce,
46664 takes its name from Mr. Mandela's Robben Island prison number. He was prisoner number 466, incarcerated in 1964.

Many of the world's most powerful and instantly recognisable figures and a concert audience of 46,664 will pay their tributes to one of the world's most loved leaders, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and icon of freedom, Nelson 'Madiba' Mandela, as he turns 90 later this year.
Mr. Mandela will arrive in London in June to take part in a series of events to mark his birthday: a very rare occasion since he is now finally "retired from retirement."
Royalty and politicians from both sides of the Atlantic, leading names from business, sport, film and entertainment -- and some of the most successful musicians of the past twenty years -- make up the birthday list for three days of celebrations, culminating in a three-hour evening concert in London's Hyde Park on Friday June 27, The 46664 Concert Honouring Nelson Mandela at 90.
President Bill Clinton, Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Will Smith, Ms. Oprah Winfrey, Robert de Niro and Forest Whitaker are amongst those who will attend some of the events. Lewis Hamilton, British Formula 1 driver for the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula 1 team will attend his very first 46664 event.
Artists specially invited to perform for Mr. Mandela at the Friday night 90th birthday concert will include Queen + Paul Rodgers, Annie Lennox, Simple Minds, Leona Lewis, the Sugababes, Dame Shirley Bassey, Razorlight, Andrea and Sharon Corr, Eddy Grant, and Jamelia, along with international 46664 Ambassadors Italy's Zucchero and Spain's Amaral.
.
Joining them to celebrate the life of the world's most respected statesman will be South African and African artists including Johnny Clegg, Sipho Mabuse, multi-South African Music Awards winner Loyiso, Kurt Darren, the Soweto Gospel Choir, Aids orphan choir The Children of Agape -- the subject of the award winning film feature 'We Are Together', the legendary Papa Wemba and Sudanese 'war child' rapper Emmanuel Jal.
The concert will feature numerous unexpected appearances, with several major artists keeping silent about their involvement in order to take both Mr Mandela and the audience by surprise.

London - Die britische Soul-Queen Amy Winehouse soll am 27. Juni im Rahmen des Geburtstagskonzerts für den ehemaligen südafrikanischen Präsidenten Nelson Mandela im Londoner Hyde Park auftreten.
Ob der Auftritt der Skandalnudel gelingen wird? Am 30. Mai absolvierte die Sängerin einen Auftritt beim "Rock In Rio"-Festival in Lissabon vor 90.000 Zuschauern. Laut BBC begann der Gig mit über 30 Minuten Verspätung und die Sängerin war heiser.
Beim Benefiz-Konzert Ende Juni im Hyde Park werden neben Amy Winehouse auch Queen und Paul Rodgers, Newcomerin Leona Lewis, Annie Lennox, die Simple Minds, Shirley Bassey, die Girlband Sugababes sowie südafrikanische Acts wie Johnny Clegg und der Soweto Gospel Choir auf der Bühne stehen.
Zum 90. Geburtstag des ehemaligen Staatsoberhauptes werden außerdem Rapper und Schauspieler Will Smith, US-Talkmasterin Ophra Winfrey und Schauspieler Robert De Niro erwartet.
Das Event soll auf die Arbeit von Mandelas Organisation 46664, die sich unter anderem für HIV-Prävention einsetzt, aufmerksam machen.

Johnny Clegg - Cruel, Crazy, Beautiful World
Montreal Jazz Fest 30.6.2004 (5/9)
"For my son and all the children of his generation who will have to deal wilh all that my generation has bequeathed to the 21st century."
"Für meinen Sohn und alle Kinder seiner Generation, die mit dem Erbe, das meine Generation dem 21. Jahrhundert hinterläßt, fertig werden müssen."
Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Cruel, Crazy And Beautiful World
Original: Cruel, Crazy Beautiful World 1990
You have to wash with the crocodile in the river
You have to swim with the sharks in the sea
You have to live with the crooked politician
Trust those things that you can never see
Ayeye ayeye jesse mfana (jesse boy) ayeye ayeye
You got to trust your lover when you go away
Keep on believing that tomorrow brings a better day
Sometimes you will smile while you're crying inside
And just once you will turn away while the truth is shining bright
Ayeye ayeye Jesse mfana (Jesse boy) ayeye ayeye
Chorus :
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world
Every time you wake up I hope it's under a blue sky
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world
One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye
Goodbye -- It's your world so live in it!
Beyond the door, strange cruel beautiful years lie waiting for you
It kills me to know you won't escape loneliness,
Maybe you lose hope too
Ayeye ayeye jesse mfana ayeye ayeye
Chorus :
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world
Every time you wake up I hope it's under a blue sky
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world
One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye
Goodbye -- It's your world so live in it!
When I feel your small body close to mine
I feel weak and strong at the same time
So few years to give you wings to fly
Show you the stars to guide your ship by
Chorus :
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world
Every time you wake up I hope it's under a blue sky
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world
One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye
Goodbye -- It's your world so live in it!
It's your world so live in it

Scatterlings Of Africa
Original: Scatterlings 1982
Copper sun sinking low
Scatterlings and fugitives
Hooded eyes and weary brows
Seek refuge in the night
Chorus :
They are the scatterlings of Africa
Each uprooted one
On the road to Phelamanga
Beneath the copper sun
And I love the scatterlings of Africa
Each and every one
In their hearts a burning hunger
Beneath the copper sun
Broken wall, bicycle wheel
African sun forging steel, singing
Magic machine cannot match
Human being human being
African idea -- make the future clear
Chorus :
They are the scatterlings of Africa
Each uprooted one
On the road to Phelamanga
Beneath the copper sun
And for the scatterlings of Africa
The journey has begun
Future find their hungry eyes
Beneath the copper sun
Ancient bones from Olduvai
Echoes of the very first cry
"Who made me, here and why? --
Beneath this copper sun."
My very first beginnings
Beneath the copper sky
Lie deeply buried
In the dust of Olduvai
Chorus :
And we are scatterlings of Africa
Both you and I
We are on the road to Phelamanga
Beneath a copper sky
And we are scatterlings of Africa
On a journey to the stars
Far below we leave forever
Dreams of what we were
Hawu beke Mama-ye! Mama-ye!
In the beginning
Beneath the copper sky
Ancient bones
In the dust of Olduvai
Who made us, here, and why
Remember!

1983 Live in Capetown
Original from
African Litany 1981
Chorus:
Impi! wo 'nans' impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?
All along the river Chelmsford's army lay asleep
Come to crush the Children of Mageba
Come to exact the Realm's price for peace
And in the morning as they saddled up to ride
Their eyes shone with the fire and the steel
The General told them of the task that lay ahead
To bring the People of the Sky to heel
Chorus
Mud and sweat on polished leather
Warm rain seeping to the bone
They rode through the season's wet weather
Straining for a glimpse of the foe
Hopeless battalion destined to die
Broken by the Benders of Kings
Vainglorious General and Victorian pride
Would cost him and eight hundred men their lives
Chorus
They came to the side of the mountain
Scouts rode out to spy the land
Even as the Realm's soldiers lay resting
Mageba's forces were at hand
And by the evening the vultures were wheeling
Above the ruins where the fallen lay
An ancient song as old as the ashes
Echoed as Mageba's warriors marched away
Chorus
