The brainchild of producer Thandeka Sibisi, a well-known personality associated with the Catalina Theatre, Live It Up will honour Women of Courage with a full programme of events on December 1.
“We want to show appreciation and honour the wonderful, full of strength single moms who, because of circumstances handed to them as life often does, battle along, make sacrifices and put their children and families first,” says Thandeka Sibisi. “We recognize them and the mark they make in our society and Live It Up is a fun way of doing just that – to give them a boost to end their year with a bang! Then there are also the other women amongst us who dedicate their time and energy to worthy causes, which in turn , help those in need in varied ways in our communities.”
The project, which is proposed to be an annual one, aims to honour and support these women every step they take as women of courage. This journey begins at home this festive season, to raise funds for the project to be carried around KZN.
Great entertainment is lined up with a guest speaker and inspirational talks, beautiful poetry from Moonchild, live music from Durban’s hot rising talent New Hysteria, inspirational presentation by Gail Snyman, soothing sounds from Thulile Zama (Heels Over Head) and Grant Jacobs. Fashion show/fashion tips from Afrocya will keep everyone updated on latest fashion and there will be an after-party where the audience will receive goodie bags and possibly win one of the great prizes which include a 2-hour cruise from Spirit of ELan, Elizabeth Arden products, Distell hampers and other beauty products or enjoy the finger snacks and welcome drinks!
Live It Up takes place at 19h00 on December 1 at Catalina Theatre at Wilson’s Wharf. Tickets R80 booked on 031 305 6889, online at www.strictlytickets.com or e mail tsibisi@vodamail.co.za
