Three individuals who have made a significant contribution to the arts, media and design industry in South Africa are to be saluted at an awards ceremony to be held at the Playhouse, Durban on the 31st August 2007. The late Karoonakaran P Pillay and Kessie Govender will be receiving the TLTL "Too Little Too Late" Award. Nise Malange will receive the Art Media and Design Achievers Award.
In 2006, G Mahalingum, Farook Khan and the late Strinivasa “Strini” Moodley were awarded the TLTL Award for their contribution to the arts and the media. Maganthrie Pillay and Dingi Ntuli received the Art Media and Design Achievers Award.
In 2005 four "unsung heroes", Dr Deena Padayachee, Marimuthu Subramoney (also known as Subry Govender), Rafs Mayet and Mikhail Peppas, were presented with awards for their contributions to the arts and media by the Centre for Fine Art, Animation and Design (CFAD). The award is the brainchild of Nanda Soobben, cartoonist, animator and journalist. The aim is to recognise individuals who have given off their best to South African society.
Nanda Soobben, who initiated the award three years ago, and the founder of CFAD, said the "Too Little Too Late" Awards were given to individuals who, he said, had contributed unselfishly to the community without the recognition they deserved. "Most South African artists have highlighted the plight of the struggle for freedom, and through their work people were able to break the silence," commented Soobben.
"These men and women have an incredible talent. The contributions they have made to the South African media and art industry are priceless."
The Function to be held at the Playhouse, Durban on the 31st August 2007 includes an extraordinary fashion extravaganza and the CFAD Graduation Dinner. Limited tickets are available at R100 per person. Fo more info call CFAD at 031 3052480
