Are you ready? Because it’s almost time to get striped up! The energy from our tribe here in Cape Town is palpable and we can’t wait to harness it at tonight’s Cocktail Party at Cape Town City Hall, co-hosted by our boastfully ‘Made In Africa’ friends at Wilderness Safaris.

We’ve taken over the top floor of one of the Mother City’s most iconic buildings and filled it with surprises for you to discover as the night goes on. Here’s betting there’ll be bear-hugs aplenty as our tribe is reunited for the first time in a year; plus there are plenty of new faces to be welcomed into the mix in style!

Flash those stripes and shake those hips to a mix of Southern African-infused beats, before being mesmerised by fresher-than-fresh talent Bongeziwe Mabandla, who’ll be serenading us all with his hypnotic blend of urban-African folk music.

We reckon it’s the perfect way to get charged up for the week ahead… Get Set. Go!
