Spring in2 summer this weekend
Wild Waters will again set out to cool the summer heat on October 10
DURING Tourism month, the City of Ekurhuleni launched its Spring-in2-Summer campaign, themed “Expect only Amazing”, at the annual Rock Da Shades spring picnic, and this weekend, the Ekurhuleni Spring Fiesta is set to turn the temperature up.
The Ekurhuleni Comes Alive Jazz evening, held every second Friday of the month, hosts only the cream of the crop of South Africa’s music scene.
On October 9, Sibongile Khumalo will be headlining the event which will also see Zahara, Flatoe and comedian Thapelo Mametja on stage.
The Wild Waters complex will again set out to cool the summer heat on October 10 with the H2O Final Wave.
Choral music lovers will be serenaded by the angelic voices of choristers competing for the number one spot in the Melting Pot National Choral Festival taking place at Carnival City on October 30 and November 1.
The competition is held annually in honour of the late Freeman of the City, Oliver Tambo.
There is also something in store for sportsmen and women as the City of Ekurhuleni hosts the 5150 African Championships on November 1. This year marks the third that the pristine Germiston Lake Park hosts the triathlon.
“Spring in2 Summer is the City’s seasonal tourism lifestyle campaign which seeks to demystify the image that Ekurhuleni is the industrial site of Gauteng. It is intended to promote domestic tourism by informing local citizens of the leisure offerings in their own backyard,” says Member of Mayoral Committee for Economic Development, Thumbu Mahlangu.
“Furthermore, these lifestyle events attract a number of visitors to Ekurhuleni which in turn contributes to our economy.”
To usher in the New Year, Ekurhuleni will again be the host City of the South African Open Golf Championship from January 7 to 11, 2016.
