Party with beer and cans in hand
More than 4 000 people attended the CAN DO! Refresh Day held in conjunction with the Mogale City Beer Festival.
About 4 000 attendees partied the throughout the day with local vendors, artists and DJs at this year’s CAN DO! Refresh Day held at the Kagiso Stadium.
This day was held in conjunction with the Mogale City Beer Festival, which was started by Gloria Mswana, the owner of Chaff Pozzy tavern in Kagiso.
She says that as a local business owner she feels privileged and proud to have the support of her community and to be able to hold an event that empowers the youth, local businesses and performers by offering a platform to showcase their talents and share their passion.
Alexandra Bouwer, marketing manager for Nampak Bevcan’s CAN DO! brand says the CAN DO! Refresh Day formed part of the nationwide CAN DO! Refresh Tour, which brings can-only events to all nine provinces this year.
“We encourage people to make the most environmentally friendly choice by choosing their beverages in cans, while at the same time supporting talented local performers and having a good time in a safe environment.”
Over the years, the Mogale City Beer Festival has become synonymous with community development, opportunity and excitement, with the entire event geared towards creating a positive influence for local vendors, artists and DJs.
To maximise the positive influence, local can-collectors and recyclers were given the opportunity to collect the empty beverage cans ultimately to sell the cans for cash and to earn an income.
Collect-a-Can, Southern African can recovery company was also present to collect the remainder of cans for recycling, during and after the weekend festivities.
