(a little async/correction)
The concert proceeds will benefit Nelson Mandela’s HIV/AIDS charity 46664 that he founded in 2002. “I am supposed to be retired but my friends and the charitable organizations that bear my name want to use my 90th birthday year to raise funds to continue our work and so of course I want to help them,” said Nelson Mandela.
Mr. Mandela made HIV AIDS the target of his ‘new fight’ in 2002 and the 46664 campaign was launched with a concert in Cape Town on November 29th 2003 under the direction of Dave Stewart, Annie Lennox and Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor with support from artists such as Bono, The Edge and Beyonce,
46664 takes its name from Mr. Mandela’s Robben Island prison number. He was prisoner number 466, incarcerated in 1964.
At the time of Mr. Mandela’s release in 1990 South Africa recorded 120,000 people living with HIV. Today the number of South Africans living with HIV AIDS exceeds 5.5. million.
Inspired by the vision and leadership of Nelson Mandela, 46664 is an African response to the global HIV AIDS epidemic that invites the whole world to take the fight in hand.
A campaign vehicle of the Nelson Mandela charitable organisations, 46664 raises funds to support the ongoing 46664 campaign and the HIV AIDS projects it directly supports throughout sub-Saharan Africa. 46664’s project funds develop and support practical programmes for the prevention, testing, and care and support for those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS
46664 recently unveiled its new campaign “It’s in our hands,” which will build on its past achievements and expand its outreach activities in South Africa to communities and schools to engage the youth who are at most at risk. The not-for-profit organisation harnesses the universal connecting power of music, sport and entertainment to deliver its messages primarily to the younger generations. The campaign is supported by over 80 international ambassadors from the world of sport and entertainment.
Give 1 minute of your life to Stop AIDS.

I think it was a “hit” in the UK in 1987, but it was obviously out before then.

I was dj on a US college radio station, WWVU-FM, 1982 – 1985. We had Johnny Clegg & Juluka album in racks, so you’re not so far off. I played Scatterlings every shift I had, or so it seemed. I remember a somewhat different musical arrangement than what is currently available. Loved the melody and flute arrangement in the tune. On my way to Phelamanga…

Does anyone remember when “Scatterlings of Africa” was released. My CD, “Juluka – Scatterlings” is dated 1983, but I thought that it was released in the U.S. prior to then, perhaps as a single. Any old Johnny Clegg fans like me who have enjoyed his music for 25 years still have their memory of when they first heard him?
