Mdzananda Animal Clinic and Shelter will host its third annual gala dinner and auction on Saturday, May 9, at the Two Oceans Aquarium.
The event coincides with the organisation's celebration of 30 years of serving the animals and community of Khayelitsha.
The programme will begin with pre-drinks and a live performance by the Isibane Se Afrika Choir, setting the tone for the celebration.
The evening will be hosted by broadcaster Pippa Hudson, while Guy McDonald will lead a live auction featuring exclusive items and experiences. A two-course dinner with complimentary table wine and a sweet treat will be served. Guests will also have the opportunity to network and learn more about the work of Mdzananda.
Kelly Arendse, event organiser and fundraiser for Mdzananda Animal Clinic, said the gala offers like-minded animal lovers and supporters an opportunity to gather for a meaningful cause. “The funds raised on the night enable us to continue the very important work we do in the community of Khayelitsha and beyond,” she said.
Proceeds from the gala will support Mdzananda’s services, including veterinary care, animal rescue, community education, and outreach programmes to ensure that animals in need receive proper care.
“Join us for an evening of celebration, connection, and compassion as we honour 30 years of impact and look ahead to a future of continued care for the animals of Khayelitsha,” she said.
