10th May is Inauguration Day.

We recently celebrated Freedom Day in South Africa, but yesterday was just as much a remembrance of a historical turning point in the history of our country, as it marked the day that former President, Nelson Mandela was inaugurated. With crowds gathering to more than 100,000 people, Mr. Mandela delivered his moving speech from the Union Buildings in Pretoria. Below are some exerts of this famous speech;

“Out of the experience of an extraordinary human disaster that lasted too long, must be born a society of which all humanity will be proud”.

“The time for the healing of the wounds has come.
The moment to bridge the chasms that divide us has come.
The time to build is upon us”.

Nelson Mandela is the true hero of our country.

One & Only Hotel Cape Town Cocktail Party.

Wedgewood South Africa was invited for cocktails and canapés to the luxurious One & Only Hotel last week to meet the new chief sales and marketing manager, Wilna Beukes. The One & Only is situated in the heart of Cape Town’s trendy Waterfront area, and surrounded by an exclusive Marina offering both mountain and harbour views. The location was the perfect setting for a warm autumn evening. Taste buds were tantalized by a dazzling array of canapés provided from the hotels restaurants, Nobu and Maze. Thank you Laura, Caren and Wilna for a very enjoyable evening!
