a #CommitYourselfie Twitter campaign
After Evita Bezuidenhout's #CommitYourSelfie campaign against corruption and pessimism in South Africa developed into a tsunami of support on the beloved personality's Twitter account (@TannieEvita), with selfies being emailed to EvitaSelfie@gmail.com, Tannie Evita was inspired to write the lyrics to an anthem called "A Song for Tomorrow".
Karen Zoid and Paul Morrissey have arranged the music for "A Song for Tomorrow" and recorded the anthem with with fellow artists Zolani Mahola, choirs and other stars, just in time for the opening of Parliament this Thursday, 12th February, and the President's State of the Nation address. The song has been released on Youtube, with its visuals celebrating the rainbow nation in all its colours, genders, ages and classes. Added to this is a selection of public contributions sent to Tannie Evita via Twitter, email and other social highways.
Take a look at the music video for "Song for Tomorrow" right here on BroadwayWorld South Africa:
All South Africans are encouraged to join the national call to action by taking a selfie of themselves holding a sign that states #CommitYourselfie and saying what part of their lives they want to see enriched by all the money corruptly lost, to be paid back - so that health, welfare, education, children, homes, hospitals, schools, transport, justice, safety, environment, electricity, water and hundreds of other pillars of our society can benefit for all in a better future for all. Let the people lead and maybe the government will follow.
