The event organised by Tyrone Davy, the owner of The Whole in One restaurant, was a night of fun, food and activities. Landie Petzer from the Bluff Social Committee expressed her joy at the event’s success, saying, “The turnout was mind-blowing. We are so grateful to all the ‘Bluffies’ and surrounding communities for their support. It was epic.”

Upon arrival, guests received complimentary sherry, courtesy of CMH Mahindra Pinetown and Booths, while The Whole In One restaurant served fresh soup and baked bread. The night market featured 40 local vendors offering a wide range of goods and services, along with entertainment for children.

Petzer described the night as a phenomenal success, noting that proceeds would support the golf course’s operations, especially after its recent switch to solar power due to electricity cutoffs. She extended heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended and supported the event, saying, “We are humbled and so grateful for everyone’s love and support. To every vendor who trusted us on this new journey, you are appreciated. We look forward to the next one and ask everyone to please keep on supporting us.”
