Wine, Women, and Neon party event, September 9
Your Friday just got lit! Altitude Durban will be hosting a Wine, Women, and Neon party event at 226 Mathews Meyiwa Ave.
This is the first of several events focused on women, giving women support space to have fun and network safely. The party will commence at 19:00, and it is sponsored by female-owned businesses. Security will be taken care of by AXIS VIP, a company owned by a woman. The organisers will use the event to put together a database of women in business from around Durban. Men are welcome to grace the party, but women will be prioritised. Patrons are encouraged to come in numbers and wear clothes they don’t mind getting messy in.
Tickets for the party cost R50 per person and may be purchased at the door. For more information, you can contact Thomie on 064 476 9533 or Johara on 072 643 5323.
Kids’ Snake Awareness Campaign, September 11
FOR a fun and educational morning, take your kids along to the Kids’ Snake Awareness Campaign at Botha’s Hill, which will feature snake catcher Nick Evans doing what he knows best.
The awareness campaign will be held at Phezulu Safari Park, on September 11. It starts at 09:30 sharp, with an introduction of ‘What’s a reptile?’ It will be followed by an overview of the common venomous snakes of Durban, and what to do if you encounter a snake.
