“The dinner is designed to be a vehicle to expose the young people of KwaThema and the rest of South Africa, to the string of instrumental individuals and groups.
“These are people originating from KwaThema and making an international impact in various disciplines, such as arts, politics, leadership, sports and fashion among others,” says organiser Sipho Mnyakeni.
In future, this will become an annual event, to appreciate two legends chosen for each year.
Mnyakeni says this year’s session will honour Showman Mokgosi, the lead vocalist of the African Inkspots, and Teenage Dladla, a legendary midfield maestro who worked for Kaizer Chiefs Football Club.
