NoordkaapBulletin,<\/span> published a story on the Arumugam Kistan family from KwaZulu-Natal who wants to connect with family members from their mother\u2019s side in the Barkly West or Kimberley area.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThanks to the publication of the story, the families were able to make contact, which led to an emotional reunion in November 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At this event, the KZN family pledged to host the Wax and extended families from different parts of the country in a return leg of reunions, which took place recently at The Italian Club in Umkomaas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abel Arumugam wrote amongst the guests of 150, were 90 Wax family members from other parts of the country who made the journey to the South Coast of KZN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAt the event a great time was had by all with music by Ash of Sounds Invasion, the Abel Arumugam established pop-band of yesteryear, and DJ Les R. with his brand of re-mixes,\u201d said Arumugam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ashwin Mahipath acted as the master of ceremonies, keeping guests in the party mood while they tucked into the meal that were prepared in Durban tradition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The guests were taken on a nostalgic journey with overhead projections of the family\u2019s history, family tree and a picture photo story of the reunion of 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tokens of appreciation were handed over between the families, as well as a booklet of the history of both sides of the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his address, Arumugan said, \u201cIf you don\u2019t know where you come from, you won\u2019t know where you going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Special guest Minister Narend Singh took guests on a nostalgic journey, outlining the close relationship his family shared with the Arumugams back in the days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event closed off with a promise of another reunion in the not too distant future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
