I-JOMBA! I-Digital Fringe iyipulatifomu enikeza abadansi nabadansi abasha abazayo nethuba lokukhombisa amafilimu abo omdanso wedijithali. I-Fringe bekulokhu kuyipulatifomu ‘evulekile yokufaka isicelo’ yabadansi baseNingizimu Afrika abazinzile ukuzama umsebenzi omusha noma abadansi abazayo ukuqala umsebenzi omusha. Kodwa-ke, ngenxa yobhadane kanye ne-Fringe eya ku-inthanethi, i-JOMBA! ithole izicelo ezingaba ngu-20 ezivela kulo lonke elase-Afrika, kufaka phakathi izindawo ezifana neMadagascar, iNigeria ne-Uganda. Izingcezu eziyisishiyagalombili kuphela ezithunyelwe zikhonjisiwe izolo ebusuku kwathi ezintathu eziphezulu zathola imiklomelo yemali ngomsebenzi wazo omuhle. Iphaneli labahluleli abangochwepheshe lifaka phakathi uDavid April, umqondisi, umenzi womdanso futhi onethonya emkhakheni womdanso nokusebenza kwaseNingizimu Afrika, oseGauteng; UTiny Mungwe, umkhiqizi wamafilimu nomabonakude waseNingizimu Afrika oseKapa; kanye noSmangaliso Ngwenya, umdansi, umlingisi, umbhali, umenzi womdanso, umdwebi wevidiyo nomhleli oseGauteng.
Umdanso owinile uqhamuke kuRobert Ssempijja wase-Uganda. Ukusebenza kwakhe, “THE MYTH OF SELF ISOLATION” kukhulume ngezinselelo zokuzihlukanisa ezindaweni ezinezimo zokuphila ezingezinhle. Uqala ukudansa kokudlala ephaseji elincane kakhulu phakathi kwendlu nodonga lwezitini ngekhamera eqondisa ngokucophelela ababukeli iso ezitinini ezakha udonga nokuthi bahlukaniswe kanjani ngosimende obahlukanisayo. Lokhu kukhuluma ngokuboshwa. Akunakwenzeka ukuzihlukanisa ezindaweni lapho, njengezitini, abantu bahlala ngaphezulu komunye nomunye. Ukusebenza kukaSsempijja kukhuluma ngokuthi ukuzihlukanisa kuyilungelo okungelona wonke umuntu angakwazi ukulikhokhela. Into elula njengokugeza izandla noma ukusebenza ekhaya ayinakwenzeka kwabanye ngenxa yezimo zokuphila (ikakhulu ezwenikazi lase-Afrika) abazithola bekulo. USsempijja wenza emakethe ukukhombisa ukuthi ngisho nokusebenzela ekhaya akuyona inketho yabantu abasebenza njengabathengisi basemgwaqweni, abathengisa ukudla nezinye izimpahla ezimakethe. Ulimi lwakhe lokunyakaza okusamanzi nomyalezo wakhe ohlakaniphile udwetshiwe ngemuva kwesimo sobumpofu esonakalisa lezi zikhala.
Endaweni yesibili kube nguSabelo Cele waseNingizimu Afrika. Ucezu lwakhe “(Rea) -Leaze Chains” lukhuluma ngokugqashula kunoma yimaphi amaketanga asigcina sigqilaziwe ngokwengqondo nangokomzimba. Emidlalweni eminingi le vidiyo ibhalwe ngomnyama nomhlophe, mhlawumbe njengesifaniso sezikhala ezingenakubalwa ezibhajwe esizithola sikuzo. Okubhalwe emzimbeni kaSabelo ngezinye zezinto ezimgcina eboshwe ngamaketanga njengobuphofu, ubulili, isizungu nokufuna wemukelwe ngabanye abantu. Ufuna abantu baqale babone amaketanga abenza baboshwe futhi bagqashule kuwo njengoba enza engxenyeni yokugcina yomdanso, lapho engena olwandle, engaboshiwe, kungekho magama abhalwe emzimbeni wakhe futhi aphila ngombala ophelele.
UPavishen Paideyen waseNingizimu Afrika uphume isithathu ngomdanso wakhe othi “AHAM-I AM” okhuluma ngokubandlululwa amaNdiya aseNingizimu Afrika abhekana nakho. Umbala, ukuvumelanisa kwabadlali, umdanso kanye nokusetshenziswa kwekhamera ukuqondisa izethameli iso kulokho umenzi womdanso afuna ukuthi bakubone, kwenziwa kahle. Kwakunezikhathi ezimnandi ngempela emdansweni, enye eyangidonsa kakhulu iso lapho omunye wabadansi abangahambisani nobulili owayebonakala ekhomba umphakathi we-LGBTQIA+ ephoqeleka ukuba angene ngaphakathi ebhokisini. Esikhundleni salokho bayagqashuka basebenzise ibhokisi njengetshe lokunyathela lapho bedansa khona. Lo mdanso wawuyindlela enhle yokukhombisa izingqinamba umphakathi waseNdiya obhekene nazo.
