DESPITE the rain pouting down in Cape Town, Durban and Pretoria enjoyed a last burst of sunshine last Sunday at the Table of Unity lunch. A long, long table set out in the grounds of the Union Buildings seated 450 people, and ran the length of the gardens. The theme of the day was love, peace and compassion, and representatives of the major faith were invited to give their blessing. The tall and lovely Siphokazi sang four beautiful Afro-Soul songs about unity, peace and happiness together with hiphop singer Mpho.
All the Sheraton’s chefs combined to create the meal, together with Trevor Boyd (Angela Books’s ex-hubby). The tables were decked out by Michael de Pinna and Tania Miles.
