From there we started planning and searched for music last year. We wanted to be true to the history of Ghoema and know where it started from the days of slavery and execute it in a tasteful way,&#8221; she said.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The play was brewing in the planning stages for almost two years before she and Fredericks had a completed draft. The school also had a live band guiding the learners on stage along with backing tracks of classic Cape Town tunes.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learners and actors Blaine Elliot and Olivia Mentoor were excited to tackle their roles in Haven on the corner and brought their characters to life on stage. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mentoor says she enjoys playing netball and spending family time.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;My passion for acting started at eight years. I was also inspired to act by my maths teacher, Mr Moolman.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She describes her character Shamiela as &#8220;a confident, strong coloured woman who stands her ground&#8221;.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elliot was raised in Retreat and enjoys soccer.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;My character Byron is a strong and funny and good-hearted person. One of the greatest challenges was learning the lines.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The young boys and girls at Zwaanswyk Academy had fun serenading and
