Patrons were treated performances by singers, rappers, dancers from across the Cape Flats.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project was founded by Alex Cupido, founder of non-profit company (NPC) Bruinchild Media. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NPC aims to assist aspiring music artists through workshops, music events and community projects.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The Aweh Cultural Showcase was created to challenge negative stereotypes that surround coloured people. Stereotypes like coloured people are gangsters, drug addicts and murderers are the most common. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The cultural showcase was created to educate the world about the coloured community,&#8221; explained Cupido. &#8220;I am happy. There was a variety of acts. It was a blessed day.&#8221; \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cupido also shared a message for Heritage Day commemorated tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:calc(1024 \/ 683)\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Aweh culture event\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-270722\" data-id=\"270722\" data-aspect-ratio=\"1024 \/ 683\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/JkbCulture2_32623-1024x683.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/JkbCulture2_32623-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/JkbCulture2_32623-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/JkbCulture2_32623-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/JkbCulture2_32623.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption gallery-caption\">Tjommies Sporting Club Malay Choir.

The show highlights success stories and how people on the Cape Flats are utilising every opportunity to develop themselves and get together to celebrate uniqueness.&#8221; \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cupido explained that the show explores culture \u2014 making Heritage Month the perfect time to celebrate their cultures.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We showcase our heritage and culture.
