Dainty tea party for a charitable cause

AN array of table décor that is Pinterest and Instagram picture-ready, topped with delicious dainty treats, canapés and delicate desserts epitomised Saturday's Tea on the Terrace which was truly a feast for both the eye and mouth.

ZO's charity arm, Dice (Do I Care Enough?) held its highly-anticipated annual charity high tea on Saturday at Umfolozi Casino and Convention Resort.

This was the first event after the Covid-19 lockdown, and excited attendees and organisers pulled out all the stops.

After the hustle and bustle as hostesses and their teams set up their tables, the attendees unanimously agreed that ‘Queen of Hearts’ was the best dressed table of the day, and the team took home the coveted floating trophy.

Sending her love and regards, Regina Anthony, founder of the ZO and Tea on the Terrace, in absentia said that the fundraiser has been close to her heart since its inception in 2012.

The event saw exhilarating performances by the Coyote Line Dancers, and enjoyed the message from guest speaker Lizantia Mngadi who shared some quick and easy make-up tips with the ladies.
