Description
This experience is the epitome of Sunday Funday (don’t let your Monday ruin your Sunday :). Locals Ayanda and Buntu will show you what it really means to Groove in Ekasi. You will get the full Khayelitsha Township experience, from wine tastings and pairings, to a local lunch to partying to the best local DJ’s and music.
Our first stop will be a visit to Lindile Nzaba, founder of Khayelitsha Wines, who will share with you a taste of his signature red and white wines. Please note this is not your traditional wine tasting but a local entrepreneur sharing his love for wine with us.
We will make our way to eKitchen (at the Kitchen), a local restaurant for a late lunch. Then the Sunday Funday will commence at eParkini an outdoor “block party” on Spine Road, one of the busiest streets in Khayelitsha. Locals come here from all over Khayelitsha and surrounding communities to enjoy good music, chill, show off their nice cars, and have a great time. Will immerse ourselves in the local Kaltsha by grooving at one of the popular spaces Kwa Ace.

Let’s be real – no one can control the weather, and sometimes things just don’t go as planned. But don’t worry, your City Manager is here to help and will do their best to come up with a solution if an event is affected. We understand that everyone’s schedule is different, so while we can’t guarantee a make-up option will work for everyone, we promise to try our hardest.
