In Mr Entertainment, we hear the voices of the people who knew Taliep Petersen best: his family, friends and collaborators. Their stories bring to life the spaces he inhabited, vividly recounting scenes from his childhood, his rise to fame from the Cape Coon Carnival stage to the West End, his artistic collaborations, most notably with David Kramer, his family life, and his tragic death and its aftermath.

In this pioneering biography of one of Cape Town’s most beloved entertainers, we encounter Petersen as a complex and many-sided personality whose influence continues to reverberate in national life. Mr Entertainment evokes not just Taliep’s life, but also the music and entertainment worlds of the 1950s to 2000s and their diverse and irrepressible cultural traditions. Along the way, it brings us to the front row of South Africa’s difficult history.

Drawing on the musician’s personal archive and on more than fifty interviews conducted over a decade, Paula Fourie has pieced together a fascinating portrait of Taliep Petersen, acutely observed and poignantly captured.

Learning sounds is fun with Tippie the elephant! Tippie learns sounds was developed in collaboration with an occupational therapist. This series includes early learning and developmental outcomes to support phonemic awareness. Generalisation and consolidation of letter sounds, letter formation as well as auditory and visual perception skills form part of this unique approach. Tippie learns sounds includes hidden curriculum skills and encourages incidental learning. A structured approach to learning and recognising letters with associations is supported by focusing on correct letter formation with a clear beginning and end for each letter. Visual scanning for task completion and early reading is encouraged with an emphasis on working from left-to-right, top-to-bottom. Learning readiness is key to our approach, emphasising fun, child-centred and age appropriate multi-sensorial activities.

“Wat is die ergste wat kan gebeur?”.

Olivia Welgemoed se toekoms lyk rooskleurig: Sy is ’n mediese dokter met ’n suksesvolle praktyk en verloof aan ’n predikant met ’n gemeente wat uitsien na ’n lojale predikantspaar.

Dan kom haar pa, ’n bekende dokter van die Noord-Kaap, skielik tot sterwe. Asof sy ná ’n skeepsramp alleen in ’n reddingsboot sit, reik alle hande na haar vir hulp: haar verloofde, haar stiefma, haar stiefbroer en ’n gesondheidskliniek wat oorstroom ...

Op haar erfgrond, Koepelplaas, is daar boonop ’n vreemdeling wat volgens haar wederregtelik op die oewer van die rivier uitkamp. Hy lyk soos ’n boemelaar en word haar grootste probleem.
