Local band "plays it forward"
Rock band Oooth has decided to take a stand against GBV and farm killings.
While gearing up for their upcoming album release on 11 September, Oooth has decided to not just focus on music, but also on some of South Africa's most pressing issues.

The highly anticipated album, 'Who Cares What You Think - Acoustic', will have ten tracks and frontman Jason Oosthuizen is excited to release this body of work that touches on everything from racism and corruption to depression.
They have also decided to use the album launch event to raise awareness of the gender-based violence and farm killings that are taking place in South Africa.

Jason says that people need to unite and use the platform they've been given to speak up for the victims, whether it's farmers, women, or children.
That is his current main goal: using music to connect people and help them cope with whatever problems they might be facing.
Catch the album launch on Saturday, September 12, at 7pm live on their Facebook and YouTube channel.
