Mdzananda<\/a> Animal Clinic and Shelter will host its third annual gala dinner and auction on Saturday 9 May at 18:30 at the Two Oceans Aquarium<\/a>, celebrating three decades of service to Khayelitsha’s animals and community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The milestone event comes as the organisation reflects on 30 years of providing veterinary care, animal-rescue services and community education programmes in one of Cape Town’s largest townships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Star-studded evening planned<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fundraising event will feature renowned broadcaster Pippa Hudson as host, with respected auctioneer Guy McDonald leading a live auction of exclusive items and experiences. Entertainment will include a performance by the Isibane Se Afrika Choir during the pre-drinks reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guests will enjoy a two-course dinner with complimentary wine and dessert at the popular Waterfront tourist attraction, known for its dramatic aquariums that recreate ocean conditions with their myriad marine animal and plant life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funds support community programmes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Event organiser and fundraiser Kelly Arendse said the annual gathering brings animal lovers and supporters together for a meaningful cause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The funds raised on the night enable us to continue the very important work we do in the community of Khayelitsha and beyond.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Three decades of impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since its establishment Mdzananda has provided essential veterinary services to a community where access to animal health care is often limited. The organisation’s work includes emergency animal rescue, preventative care and educational-outreach programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dogs\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All proceeds from the gala will directly support these services, ensuring continued care for animals in need across the Khayelitsha area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Join us for an evening of celebration, connection, and compassion as we honour 30 years of impact and look ahead to a future of continued care for the animals of Khayelitsha,” Arendse said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
