A windless evening – Featured Blog

I’m sure everybody in PE would agree with me that we are slightly tired of wind.  It’s been blowing just about nonstop for close to a month now so it was great to walk outside just now and realising that there is absolutely now wind blowing.  So not to jinx it I just want to say.  I woke up in Johannesburg this morning after last night’s Lilizela Tourism Awards and looking out from my hotel rook the sky was hazy and there was lots of smog and smoke clearly visible along the horizon.  Standing there I was actually glad that we get wind in PE that keeps our air clean from air pollution.  But you would agree, sometimes enough is just enough.

The Lilizela Tourism Awards organised by South African Tourism and hosted by the Minister of Tourism, Derek Hanekom, took place in the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg tonight (16 October 2016).  This year I was invited to be one of the judges for the third year in a row and it really is a great privilege to be asked to be part of the adjudication process.  The Lilizela Awards are South Africa’s premier tourism awards and those products who walk away with the awards on the night truly are the best of the best.  The Eastern Cape shined on the evening, walking away with eleven awards.
