Dannhauser came alive recently as local organisations, entrepreneurs and creatives gathered to showcase their talents at a vibrant Heritage and Art Day, hosted by the Dannhauser Municipality.

The event brought together a wide range of community voices and highlighted the growing energy around culture, creativity and entrepreneurship in the region.

Among the participants was the Helping Hand organisation, represented by chairperson Farzanah Dookie, along with Sariksha Surajbali, Venay Dookie and Lungelo Buthelezi.

They were joined by representatives from Dannhauser Planning and Economic Development, as well as members of the Indian Band, demonstrating strong collaboration between civic groups and cultural organisations.

Adding a spark of innovation, Iwendokuhle Creativity was represented by Bong’Thubelihle, Gugu Nyandeni and Xolisile Shongwe, who demonstrated how local artistic talent can be nurtured into sustainable creative ventures.

Also present was Tholakele Khumalo, an emerging entrepreneur currently in the process of launching her own business. She expressed her excitement at being part of the event and shared her hopes of formally starting her company soon.

The day served as more than a cultural celebration – it was a platform for empowering residents, encouraging creative enterprise, and strengthening community ties.

The event reflects a growing movement in Dannhauser to support local business, inspire pride in cultural heritage, and foster long-term economic growth through community-driven initiatives.
