46664 bangles a huge success

Madiba’s birthday month saw South Africans from all walks of life flocking to Sterns and American Swiss, and Mont Blanc, not to purchase engagement or weddings rings but to buy their very own 46664 “Madiba” bangles.

Through fire to love and song

Despite encountering massive resistance from the community she lived in, founding member of the Agape Children’s centre, Zodwa Mqadi, refused to give up her quest to help orphans. Recently her children’s choir graced the stages of London, performing with international stars at the 46664 concert held in Hyde Park in London.

A bit of metal around one’s wrist is not always a choice.

For the political prisoners during apartheid, a loop of metal around a wrist or ankle was a symbol of oppression, of a lack of freedom, of a lack of democracy.

For families of these prisoners and supporters of the struggle around the world, a metal bangle around the wrist, with the prisoner’s number or name on it, was a sign of support for those who were incarcerated.

It was in this spirit that 46664’s silver, gold and platinum wrist bangles were launched in South Africa tonight at a star-studded event in Sandton, Johannesburg.

Hyde Park concert rocks the world

When you think of a charity event you might conjure up in your mind’s eye a lot of smartly dressed people paying large sums of money for a plate of food.

What you might not think of is 46 664 screaming fans listening to some of the world’s greatest performing artists. But that’s exactly what happened on Friday night in Hyde Park, London, at the 46664 concert.

“It was awesome,” said concert-goer Andrea Eaton. “It was one of the best nights I’ve ever had.”

Hyde Park concert performers confirmed

The final line-up of artists performing at the Hyde Park 46664 concert has been confirmed. The concert, which marks Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday, will be held in Hyde Park, London on June 27, 2008.
