South Africa pulled out all the stops for the twenty-fifth anniversary Standard Bank National Arts Festival in Grahamstown this year. The Festival, which ran for a full two weeks, was as jam-packed with theatrical and artistic offerings as it was professional, entertaining and thought-provoking. Events commenced with a ribbon-cutting ceremony by guest of honor and patron saint, Nelson Mandela, and despite the drastic and potentially disabling decline in the value of the rand in the year prior to the Festival, Standard Bank remained financially committed to the gathering and producers clearly stopped at nothing to showcase the best and brightest that South Africa has to offer the world of arts
