Standard Bank Ovations Awards panel co-convenor Ranique Roberts said she adjudicated a performance that left her in tears.
Not only was I moved by the performance, but also the heartfelt energy the patrons shared. Dancing and singing along, I looked around the room in admiration of how this performance had brought together every single person in the room, no matter their age, race or background. It was a full realisation that the arts are back!
