Celebrate our heritage this weekend

Caxton will host a family fun day, celebrating South Africa’s heritage, at the Boksburg Rugby Club, in aid of three local charities this Saturday, September 21.

Various flea market stalls will be there, and residents will have the opportunity to taste different cultural foods from all over the country.

Don’t forget to enter our cultural cooking competition where contestants will cook dishes with a cultural influence, and the winner will get a culinary course sponsored by Capsicum Culinary Studio.

Contestants will cook their meals on the day, and judges will announce the winner shortly after they have all finished.

To enter this competition contact Esther Labuschagne on 011 916 5300.

Matt Stern will perform on the day, and even though everyone knows him as an actor from shows such as 7de Laan, Isidingo, Generations and Donkerland, he is also a professional singer.

Audiences can see him sing at the heritage fun day amongst many other local singers.

The top three teams of the Caxton Reynolds Race 2013 will also complete their final challenge on Saturday, and the first team to arrive at the finish line, at the Boksburg Rugby Club, will be crowned the winners of a holiday for four to Mauritius.

These teams are, in no particular order, Benoni City Times (Jenny Seaton-Smith and Kate Rheeders), Brakpan Herald (Arauna and Bianca Bezuidenhout) and the Springs Advertiser team (Dennis and Marisa Williams).

The teams to come in second and third will win a two-night stay at the four-star Soweto Hotel, for them and their partners, and a one-night stay at the Birchwood Hotel, including a full day spa treatment for the team members and their partners.

The heritage celebration starts at 9am till 2pm, and an entrance fee of R5 will be charged at the gate of which all proceeds will go towards charity.
