The
Sunday Spends Khayelitsha, produced by Eric Salman and Iain Harris, was the
first franchising of the Guguletu Sunday Spends 
into another area. The Spends were
conceived in 2003 by Joe Mthimka, a music promoter and soccer coach
operating out of Guguletu, as a platform for exposing Cape Town music talent
in Guguletu.
With the move into Khayelitsha, the Sunday Spends evolved into a
mini-festival, featuring music, film and poetry. Poets and bands
representing the diversity of the city featured, together with short films by independent
directors such as Akin Omotoso, Thabo Mvuvu and Arya Lalloo.
Ultimately the vision of the Sunday Spends is for each part of Cape Town
city to host a Sunday Spends each month as part of a broad urban renewal
programme.
