Buy your ticket today in support of StreetSmart SA’s Circle of Diamonds, a not-to-be-missed online raffle to raise funds to help the country’s most vulnerable children especially those living on the streets.
“You can share your own brilliant sparkle by helping us uplift our ‘diamonds in the rough’ because every child is precious,” says StreetSmart SA Chairman Zaid Adams.
By buying a ticket for R250 a beautifully crafted pair of Dancing Diamond studs valued at R25 000, kindly donated by The Diamond Works, could be yours. The 18-karat yellow gold set with 0.04 carat floating white diamonds, is one of 10 sought after prizes up for grabs to spoil yourself or a loved one. These prizes include accommodation at The Table Bay Hotel; handmade designer shoes; Winelands Guide guided wine estate walking tour; Agulhas Wine Triangle wines; Glen Carlou Restaurant dining voucher; exciting activity vouchers and Carmién Tea Gift sets. All the prizes have been generously donated by friends of StreetSmart SA.
Raffle tickets can be bought via the StreetSmart website www.streetsmartsa.org.za. All proceeds will go to StreetSmart SA in support of their ongoing fundraising efforts towards normalising the lives of children in need through education, skills training and family reunification programmes.
StreetSmart primarily raises funds through partners in the hospitality industry who add a voluntary donation to their patrons’ bills. Every cent raised in this way goes towards social and educational upliftment projects for street children in the areas where the donations are made. The organisation was set up over 17 years ago under the patronage of the late Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu by a group of concerned Capetonians representing business and the hospitality and tourism industries.
“Together we can make an impact changing lives. Every child deserves to shine, so be sure to buy your Circle of Diamonds raffle tickets today,” adds Zaid.

The Portrait of a South African Winemaker
In James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Stephen Dedalus resolves to express himself "as freely as I can and as wholly as I can". Joyce's hero refuses to be just one thing. That same many-sided energy is increasingly being asked of the modern South African winemaker, who has to adopt different faces for different places.
Who will drink South African wine tomorrow?
Tomorrow’s wine drinker is already here, standing at the braai with a can in one hand and a phone in the other. South African wine still has time to join the occasion, although it may need to loosen its collar first.
Ice in the Chenin and other South African wine crimes
There is ice in the Chenin Blanc, Cap Classique in an ordinary wine glass and a bowl of curry waiting beside a bottle of something pink. By old wine standards, the afternoon is a small crime scene.
