International superstars Mos Def and Crazy Town will perform alongside South African acts such as The Parlotones, RJ Benjamin and Jozi to create change at the Music 4 Peace Concert, taking place on Friday, 9 July 2010 at St Stithians College in Joburg.The Tour 4 Peace Initiative (T4P) is a collection of non-profit organisations promoting world peace through the collaborative efforts of musicians, celebrities, peace activists, community leaders and private citizens. The concert is a philanthropic initiative whose proceeds will go to local youth empowerment initiatives as well as to clean-water NGO Generosity Water.US-based T4P founder Wayne Warwick-Williams, aka Djun Djetti, is a descendant of the Darumbal aboriginal people of Central Queensland in Australia, and seeks to create awareness of and preserve of indigenous culture.
