During these trying times it is not expected or known for someone who owns an Events and PR company to be focusing on giving back. First and foremost, the lockdown has depleted many  businesses to shutting down or retrenching people etc. When thinking of an events company owner,  you would think of how they are able to make money during this time considering their salary and  workers salary comes from hosting events and launches. This might be the case for Marina Nestel,  owner of The Little Black Book as she had to shut down her doors and lost many of her businesses  during this lockdown.  Marina has been doing charity work for more than 10 years and about three years ago she  embarked on a journey with Mosadie Gives Back, an NPO No 234-499 that advocates No hunger to  the community of Mitchells Plain. For the past two years Marina reached into her pockets and used her networking skills to get donations from her clients to feed and su...

PoseZA recently attended the Grand opening of Infusion on Long which is situated at 57 Long Street, Cape Town. Prior to the launch, when our editor received the press release for the optional CBD infused dishes to choose from and a wide variety of delicious cuisine, we were all excited to try their menu. We had already tried CBD infused coffee and are huge fans but CBD infused cuisines, this was the first for us. Super excited to have a new, fantastic coffee bar and a superb deli for food on the go as our editor works in the city, he could not wait to try their menu and see what he will be having for lunch everyday. A strong Mediterranean infused cuisine is expressed in Chef’s worldly inspired creations which offer a global fusion of fresh flavours produced with state-of-the-art equipment. A unique concept as far as flavours and ingredients go, suited to all whether it be family, business or even casual diners. As they say, “The older the Port wine, the better…”, which is true ...

It's that time of the season were everyday you just want to go to a beautiful restaurant and have a bottle of perfectly chilled bubbly or chardonnay and food that tastes as amazing as it reads on the menu. Well, look no further as a new steakhouse and bar has reached the shores of De Waterkant: Cowboys and Cooks . Recently, I was invited to attend the launch of Cowboys and Cooks second location which is located in 4 Liddle Strett, De Waterkant, Green Point. More than 600+ invited guests flocked the restaurant making it one big party. The steakhouse and bar is different from its first location situated in 4 Ocean Way, Sunset beach. With 130 seating arrangement across the main floor, as well as nook areas which can be closed off for private dining events. The decor exudes old townhouse yet modern luxury with fresh flowers everywhere, wonderful light and open areas during good weather days, and warm, fire-side, library-style decor in the evenings changing the mood to a more intimat...

Recently I was invited to review one of Cape Town's hottest new bar and grill,"KONG" located in An-De-Waterkant, Green Point. Obviously I know the place pretty well as I attended the opening launch a couple of months back and have also attended their Thursday evenings soiree a couple of times. Honestly, the vibe there is amazing, especially on Thursday's, imagine having your dinner downstairs from let's say 7 pm with your girls or boys, and they just shared some great news for this month of November, a special of the week, pasta, and a glass of house wine for only R95.00. Then later you go upstairs to get some bubbly, for free, and play some pool or take some Instagram worth pictures. A perfect Thursday well spent. Back to my review, I had not yet tasted everything from Kong bar and grill's chef but I had already done my research regarding the menu. We decided to order quite a few things so that we can taste at-least three different mains and dessert...

Hello Progressives. I think I will call y'all by that name from now on. So my second episode: The interview is basically a one on one with one of my good friends, Buntubakhe, were he is asking me questions regarding why I started this movement. A more in-depth conversation on what this series is about and what I want people to understanding from it and again, opening that conversation on gender-fluidity and non-binary beings. It is short and simple and sweet moments captured. I definitely think that this is going to give you a clear understanding of who I am. Hope you all enjoy it and DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE and HIT THAT BELL BUTTON so that you don't get left out when the next two episodes air. XOXO

I have been working on this for the past 3 years. From being a book to being a photo series to now finally being a video series. Honestly, I had already axed it last year and seen myself as a failure after numerous times of trying to bring it out to the world and not being able to. I created Progress with the intention of educating people about the genderless and non-binary community and opening conversations regarding who we are and what we have to offer this world.  I remember shooting my first project for Progress: Post Gender Fluidity and stripping myself bare to the world of social media with the first edited pictures and feeling like nothing can stop me from going through with my plan. Well received with interviews on "A Nasty Boy", my work being shown on CNN Africa and Hunger Magazine etc. As the saying goes: “Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.”, I was not able to publish the book I had created as I could not get all the funds needed.  Long stor...

PoseZA attended a few events last week but none was as much fun as the launch of KONG Bar and Grill . Quite honestly, Cape Town has lost a lot of places that had a vibe to them, where festive dinners can enjoy themselves. Gone are the days of clubbing or going to a club, festive dining has become a trend and a trend that is taking over. Located in the thriving heart of the buzzing, flamboyant De Waterkant, KONG offers a wide variety of delicious intercontinental cuisine within a laid back yet vibrant setting. The colorful and contemporary design with retro interior come together in this welcoming lush gastropub that boasts a welcoming atmosphere amid an abundance of character and superior acoustics. The menu offers Capetonians a wide variety of modern bistro-style food dishes with Eastern, European and Asian influences. Meals are prepared daily, with an emphasis on freshness. Using the highest quality ingredients and seasonal produce sourced from local suppliers to compliment the chi...
