Celebrating #MandelaMonth

18 July equals Mandela Day, however, here at Bizcommunity we celebrate the entire month with dedicated content across all portals featuring Mandela and CSI related news. To kick things off in Lifestyle, I interview Expresso host Katlego Maboe about raising funds for the Anti-Racism Network South Africa.

In other top story news, Allison Foat gives her top pick of activities if spending a weekend in Cape Town. I review the charming Vineyard Hotel, while Leigh Andrews reviews a stay at Val du Charron and Angie White samples coffee in a cone at The Grind Coffee Company.

We've also got tickets to give away to Park Acoustics featuring Karen Zoid and Gerald Clark!

Staycationing at the Vineyard Hotel

Ruth Cooper

One of the things that makes the Vineyard Hotel in Newlands truly special is the grounds it is situated on. Expansive gardens that include a babbling river with jungly walk ways along it plus spectacular views of Table Mountain make this charming hotel a favourite for weddings, lengthy lunches and little staycations.
