JAZZING UP THE TALKS

JAZZ QUARTET THRILLS THE NIGHT...The T&T players from Johannesburg gave delegates a taste of fifties music from the townships when during the gala dinner on Tuesday night. The crowd sat under a moonlit African sky around candlelit tables listening to the Click Song, the sax and the penny whistle.

Acacia's 2003 pan African get-together concluded with a flourish of new technologies and discussion of the way ahead.
