Cape Town - Freshlyground will perform at a gala event on Tuesday 27 March 2007 to celebrate the launch of the new emblem for the parliament of South Africa.
Parliament called on all South Africans to submit a design for a new emblem, an emblem that embodies Parliament's vision, mission and values.
The launch of the new emblem is the first step in communicating the new positioning of parliament to the public.
An afternoon unveiling of the emblem will be followed by an evening gala event in Cape Town.
The MC for the evening is Mr Billy Modise and the award-winning Freshlyground will entertain the guests.
President Thabo Mbeki will be among the distinguished guests invited to this historic event.
Freshlyground is currently in the studio recording a new album, a follow-up to the highly successful album entitled Nomvula.
Other well-known South Africans that participated in the process of finding a new emblem for parliament included celebrated spoken word artist Lebo Mashile and kwaito singer and TV personality Zola.
Lebo Mashile was commissioned to write and perform a poem as part of the internal communication of the new emblem to Parliamentary members and officials.
Zola last year supported the public participation leg of the campaign and encouraged South Africans from all over the country to submit their designs.
