SOPHIA Park in KwaBhaca (Mount Frere) on September 5 will be alive with fun activities and a display of opportunities, creativity and talent. Themed “Alfred Nzo in Full Colour”, the Alfred Nzo Spring Festival promises to showcase the rural district’s rich cultural heritage through fashion, culture, tourism, entertainment, sport and entrepreneurship.
According to Mayor Tsileng Sobuthongo of the Alfred Nzo District Municipality, local fashion designers will showcase their work along with a wide display of talents from models to bodybuilders, bikers, musicians, traditional performers, exhibitors and other creative practitioners.
“We want Alfred Nzo to be recognised not only as a place where people live and work, but also as a destination worth visiting, experiencing and investing in,” she explained. She added that the event will also provide opportunities for businesses involved in fashion, arts and crafts, food, beauty, digital printing and branding, hospitality and other sectors to showcase their products and services. She encouraged communities to support local businesses.
The event is set to benefit accommodation establishments, restaurants, retailers, transport operators and other businesses through increased visitor activity. Sobuthongo has called on the people of Alfred Nzo and surrounding areas to form part of the event and support local businesses.
