Wines of South Africa (WoSA) are proud to host this three-day event, which is again being sponsored by the world’s leading express logistics company, DHL Express, from 12-14 September 2018 at the Cape Town International Convention Center. “The support we have in DHL as name partner of this flagship event highlights their commitment to the SA wine industry as a major facet of business in the Western Cape and South Africa as a whole. Their continued support of CapeWine enables us to once more deliver an event that is of exceptional standards, which is what our producers and industry as a whole deserves”, comments WoSA CEO, Siobhan Thompson.

SobAlert Preventing Alcohol damage and Hangovers
Effective Hangover Prevention Medication ~ SobAlert is a hangover-busting formula made from highly specialised, all natural ingredients which neutralizes the substances that cause hangovers. Sometimes we sip, sometimes we drink and sometimes we downright quaff. So, heartily enjoying life and all its abundance, I tried SobAlert on Saturday. I felt like the guy from “Limitless” Not in a “I am invincible” stupid way! In a “I am aware that Alcohol is a drug’ type of way! SobAlert really made a difference to how my body metabolised the the legal, deceptively socially acceptable poison and helped me to recuperate so much quicker! It is amazing! It is super effective and it is 100% harvested from Mother Nature!” The high quality raw ingredients of SobAlert come from the Cape Floral Kingdom. This is an area of over 55,000 square kilometer and although it is the smallest of the world’s 6 floral kingdoms, it is the most bio-diverse area on earth.

Coastal Cleanups Antonio da Silva-Swart's passion lies with hiking the coast and organising cleanups along the Whale Coat coastline, either with school learners or volunteers from the area. On the first Saturday of each month, I hold a cleanup of the coast and collect the marine debris with Volunteers. The area gets decided after I have done a reconnaissance of the coast or one of my area specialists lets me know what it looks like in their area. The bags are sponsored by Plastics SA and I take the debris to Whale Coast Conservation Green House in Vermont, for analysing/counting and sorting. The results get emailed to Plastics SA for the annual international coastal cleanup day and yearly results. These results get sent to the International Coastal Cleanup Organisation for global reporting. This forthcoming Saturday, my friend and avid co-hiker; Michael Raimondo, will be taking volunteers from Vermont to Hawston on a stretch of 3.2km of coast to clean that part. They will meet at the fence at Brekvis Beach (border of Vermont and the Hoek-van-die-Berg reserve) at 8h30am and do a 2 hour cleanup. Volunteers can contact Antonio 0724624271 / Please read these articles for more information and inspiration. A man with a passion for cleaning up. Groep maak maandeliks strand skoon. Residents join in cleaning up our coast. Please read more about and support the coastline cleanups! It is fun and you will feel great about your Eco-respecting participation.
