Well done to Tino and Paida for organising Nelson’s inaugural Taste of Africa event. Small but mighty this event hopefully lays the ground work for future events celebrating the many people, cultures and traditions from Africa that enrich Nelson.

Thanks to everyone who helped organise, cooked, shared, performed and attended, and thanks to NBS for funding support.

Tatenda • Asante sana • Ngiyabonga • Natotela • Nagode • Zikomo! ❤️

On this Sunday! Final tickets left, so get yours today and support this great cause, as well as enjoying a wonderful evening 🙏🏻
