We've just driven from Beauty for Ashes in Observatory, Cape Town to the Ingqayi Educational Theatre project (contact Thembile Nazo: +27 83 534 3485) in Nyanga township where we're watching a rehearsal, which is also a Uthando SA project.
Uthando SA is Section 21 company that James registered in October last year, after "getting the ball rolling last August". While he's had to spend a lot of time visiting projects and is now signing up operators internationally, he believes he'll be "ready to go by July".
"Funding is already coming in from overseas, which I find very encouraging," he says.
"The more time that I'm spending in townships, the more fanatical I'm becoming... especially as I'm more and more aware of the resources available in this country: there are so many visitors here who want to make a difference, especially via their tour operators," says James.
