Ballito oyster festival supports young leukaemia patient
Community rallies to shuck for a cause.
An exciting variety of oyster dishes enticed residents to Mozambik on Saturday, as did the opportunity to raise funds for young leukaemia patient, Liam Verhoef.
The Ballito restaurant hosted an Oyster Festival offering fresh oysters with four unique toppings.
Diners had their pick of Asian Tetsuya, apple and horseradish, Mozasco and Lemon Caviart, or jalapeno, lime and cucumber granita to go with the slippery seafood delicacy.
And by digging in, they were also doing good for 11-year-old Liam, from Pretoria.
“Liam’s dad Bertie is a friend and they have been having a difficult time since his diagnosis,” said Mozambik founder, Brett Michielin.
“We decided to put together this festival as a fundraiser for them and a portion of all the oysters sold will be donated, along with proceeds from the water slide.”
