As jy al ooit 'n aKING-liedjie vol volume gespeel en die lirieke uitgegil het soos jy op die Oppikoppi-verhoog staan, dan weet jy presies wie Laudo Liebenberg is. Gebore op 18 Junie 1984 in Kaapstad, het hy sedert 2007 'n onmisbare deel van die Suid-Afrikaanse musieklandskap geword. As die hoofsanger van aKING en 'n belangrike lid van Eet Kreef!, het hy 'n stem wat jy dadelik herken en 'n talent vir lirieke wat diep sny. Foto : Facebook Laudo Liebenberg Die aKING-Era Laudo het aKING in 2007 in Bellville help stig, en van die begin af was hulle 'n krag om mee rekening te hou. Hulle mengsel van alternatiewe rock en diep lirieke het hulle vinnig 'n gunsteling gemaak op plaaslike radio en feeste. Hulle het wyd getoer en verhoog gedeel met internasionale name soos Oasis, Snow Patrol en Panic! at the Disco. Die groep se diskografie sluit albums in soos Dutch Courage (2008), Against All Odds (2009), The Red Blooded Years (2011) en Morning After (2014). As jy nog nooit You and I in jou kop vasgehaak het nie, luister jy regtig na plaaslike rock? Eet Kreef! Herleef! In 2019 het Laudo 'n nuwe uitdaging aangepak – om die legendariese Eet Kreef! album van Johannes Kerkorrel te herontdek. Met 'n vars klank op klassieke snitte soos Sit dit af en Hillbrow, het Laudo en sy band 'n nuwe generasie blootgestel aan protesmusiek met 'n moderne aanslag. Die projek was nie net oor nostalgie nie; dit was 'n manier om 'n musieklegende te vereer en terselfdertyd relevant te maak vir vandag se luisteraars. Dit het gewerk! Die groep het selfs 'n Fiësta-toekenning vir Beste Musiekgedrewe Produksie in 2020 gewen. Solo Loopbaan: Run Into Waves As jy gedink het Laudo hou net by rock, dink weer. Onder die naam Run Into Waves het hy in alternatiewe pop begin eksperimenteer, met 'n introspektiewe en dieper klank. Sy debuut-EP, Night Owls, is vol spookagtige melodieë en betekenisvolle lirieke. Snitte soos Night Owls en Same Old Mistake wys 'n meer persoonlike kant van sy liedjieskryf, wat bewys dat hy nie net 'n rock-frontman is nie – hy is 'n storieverteller met talent en diversiteit. Nog Steeds Relevant en Besig Met nuwe musiek wat aanhou vloei (luister gerus na sy jongste vrystelling, Staan by jou), is Laudo Liebenberg ver van klaar. Of hy nou aKING lei, Afrikaanse klassiekers herontdek of nuwe klanke verken, een ding bly konstant – sy vermoë om met gehore te skakel deur musiek wat sterk en persoonlik is. So, volgende keer as jy daardie onmiskenbare stem hoor, draai die volume op en geniet dit. Laudo se storie is nog lank nie verby nie.

Tucked away in the North West province of South Africa, Potchefstroom is a town rich in history, academia, and creativity. While many know it for its university and cultural heritage, fewer are aware of the vibrant art scene that pulses quietly beneath the surface. This article explores the painters—both seasoned and emerging—who call Potchefstroom home, offering a glimpse into the town’s artistic soul and the individuals who continue to shape it, one brushstroke at a time. Image : The Go-To Guy Creations A Town with a Creative Heart Potchefstroom may be best known for its academic institutions and heritage buildings, but beneath the surface lies a thriving community of painters. From expressive portraiture to bold mixed-media work, the town has produced a variety of talented artists whose creativity stretches far beyond its borders. Whether they are teaching, exhibiting, or selling their work, these painters continue to shape Potchefstroom’s artistic identity in meaningful ways. Rising Stars on the Local Scene Among the most active painters today is Christiaan Krüger, known for his detailed representational oil paintings. He regularly exhibits in Potchefstroom and accepts commissioned work via his website. Another standout is Jonel Scholtz, a contemporary painter with a soft, emotive style. Her portraits often explore themes of love and vulnerability. Scholtz has held solo exhibitions locally and sells her work internationally online. She also teaches, helping to grow the next generation of artists in Potch. Bold and Unconventional Expressions Younger artists like Reece Swanepoel are pushing boundaries with their work. His grotesque, figurative paintings challenge traditional ideas of beauty and identity. Having exhibited both locally and internationally, Swanepoel has quickly gained recognition. Franscois Potgieter, who creates under the name “The Mind Is Right”, blends painting with installation and product design. His work, which includes custom lighting and large mixed-media projects, has even found a home in luxury hotels abroad. The Legacy of Experience Potchefstroom’s art scene wouldn’t be complete without acknowledging the contributions of retired artists. Johanna Prinsloo, active since the 1970s, exhibited widely and founded a local art school called ArtKat. Her paintings have been part of both public and private collections, and she played a key role in arts education. Another influential figure is André de Beer, a former lecturer turned full-time artist. His work, rich in character and color, ranges from landscapes to portraits. He also made a name for himself as a political cartoonist in the 1970s. A Canvas that Keeps Growing Together, these artists—both past and present—demonstrate that Potchefstroom is more than just a university town. It’s a place where art is created, nurtured, and celebrated. From gallery walls to online platforms, Potchefstroom’s painters continue to make their voices heard, telling stories through color, texture, and emotion. Whether you're a collector, a casual admirer, or simply curious, the art scene in this town offers something worth discovering.
