People of Note - Johaar Mosaval

--:--
Rodney Trudgeon’s guest on People of Note this week is Johaar Mosaval, a retired South African ballet dancer who has just turned 95 and who rose to considerable prominence as a principal dancer of the Royal Ballet in England. Apartheid prevented Johaar from pursuing a dance career here in Cape Town but in 1950 he was noticed by visiting ballet celebrities who invited him to London. He spent 25 years with the Royal Ballet and retired and returned to Cape Town on 1976.
