I presume it says where this is going to be held, but as I can't see any small writing, let alone read it....can you tell me where this is ?

Just had a look at their website and have a few concerns. Number one the organisers do not seem to be a registered charity and therefore there is no reporting procedure in place to show that the money goes where it should. Secondly, there are links on the Braai and Potjie website which lead to the 'beneficiary' charity's, but nothing on those websites mentions this festival, although both have events calendars. And finally, I am an ex-Zimbo and want any money I raise to go back to Zim, not SA. Call me picky, but when people from Zim fled to SA, they were treated like sh*t. And at the end of the day, it is Zim I dream of returning to!

This is just my opinion and one I am sure, that isn't shared by everyone. Just make sure that if you are looking at this from the same angle as me (I wanna have a ball and help a good cause at the same time), you check it out properly.

If they are donating to stop abuse against women - seems like a good cause to me!
