Hundreds of
Move! magazine readers were treated to a sumptuous buffet, music, dancing, exciting giveaways and a fabulous goodie bag packed with gifts from our generous sponsors Film and Publication Board, Aranda, House of Gallia, Kotex, Ariel, Spekko, TLC and Unique Formulations. The guests also received advice from industry experts Lusanda Rataemane a council member of the Film and Publication Board and legendary stokvel guru Busi Skenjana.
The sold-out event also gave an opportunity for readers to rub shoulders with the people who write for them in their favourite magazine. Guests enjoyed intimate access to
Move! editor, Thandi Gweba, who interacted and delivered inspirational words of advice. Readers were also given the opportunity to ask questions about what lies ahead for the publication.
Members from various stokvel groups used the time to network and learn from each other’s experiences. The day’s entertainment was provided by charismatic and dynamic gospel duo Sgwili and Babo who kept the ladies in stitches and on the dance floor.
“This was the most successful stokvel we’ve hosted since the initiative started seven years ago. It was a sold-out event and we cherish every opportunity we get to interact with our readers and speak to them about issues of life, so we can have an idea of what they want to read about,” says Gweba.
The next stokvel will take place in Durban on Saturday, 7 September.
