PAINTINGS by five South African artists will be used as massive billboards at 50 locations around the country in the outdoor marketing campaign of the ICC Cricket World Cup. This according to the World Cup Organising Committee. The paintings depict typical South African scenes with an added twist to welcome the teams from the 14 participating nations. The artists – Godfrey Ndaba, Dumisani Sibisi, James Durno, Basil Baqwa and Vusi Khumalo – attended a media conference in Johannesburg on Wednesday when their work was unveiled. An example of the work “It’s time to welcome Australia” depicts an African woman with her young child. Instead of carrying her child in a blanket on her back, she has placed the child in the blanket on her front, forming a kangaroo-like pouch. (Miguel de Sousa)
