Sevens rugby to kick-off
Furry market at SPCA
It’s go time as the third leg of the 2013/14 IRB World Sevens Series hits the Bay on Saturday! Nelson Mandela Bay Tourism (NMBT) and the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium touted the economic value of the event, the “honour of being the South Africa city which is privileged to host the event” and the importance of it for brand and destination promotion. NMBT chief executive, Mandlakazi Skefile, said, “This is definitely a time to harness the opportunity to showcase the city’s potential for family and sports activities, as we look forward to sharing a warm Nelson Mandela Bay welcome with players and spectators.” Skefile said the iconic Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium is an influential asset and draw card for the destination in its ability to host world class events such as the Cell C Nelson Mandela Bay 7s tournament. MD of Access Management, Rian Oberholzer, said that collaborations amongst all stakeholders was crucial to ensure that a world class event is delivered. According to NMBT, unique events such as the Sevens bring about an influx of visitors to the city’s many tourist attractions and activities. NMBT has ensured its readiness for the event by creating the Rugby 7’s Pass packages. The packages include discount accommodation rates, car rental as well as free or discounted entry into a variety of attractions and activities. To top it, tickets to the Sevens tournament are also included. The action-packed Sevens tournament is being hosted for the third time since Nelson Mandela Bay was appointed as the host venue in 2011. “Nelson Mandela Bay is ready to kick off the 48-hours of non-stop action. Grab your NMB Rugby 7s pass package and tickets to enjoy an action packed summer at the NMB Stadium and surrounding attractions,” added Skefile.
A Furry Christmas Market will be held on Saturday at the Uitenhage SPCA in Schonland Avenue. Here are Rina Pietersen (left) and Christelle Erasmus from the local SPCA with one of their donkeys. The market will be held from 08:3015:00 with Father Paws in attendance between 09:3011:00. There will be a WalkaKennel Dog Walk at 09:00 and activities like stalls, live music, refreshments and pet gifts.
