TOPS Gugulethu Wine
Festival |
|
| |
The Gugulethu Wine Festival
is the brainchild of Lungile Mbalo and Mzoli
Ngcawuzele.
Mzoli is best known as owner of the successful
restaurant called Mzoli’s Place and as
a property developer constructing the first
mall to be built in Gugulethu - The Gugulethu
Square Mall.

The 2011 debut TOPS Gugulethu
Wine Festival was the shining star in Cape Town over
the 27th and 28th May 2011 weekend. It was hailed
as a major success by the 2050 visitors, 37 exhibitors
and over 120 media that attended over the two evenings
on the rooftop of the Gugulethu Square Mall.
The festival was officially opened by Cape Town Premier
Helen Zille, who commented that you can no longer
say Cape Town is not a wonderfully integrated city
as one looked over the sea of people that packed the
wine tasting marquee on Friday. She thanked co-founders
Mzoli Ngcawuzele and Lungile Mbalo for their vision
in bringing people together in wine and spent an hour
walking, talking and taking questions.
It is a sobering certainty to our South African Wineries
that we have a very large, very smart, new wine-loving
market and they are just across the road and they
must adjust their marketing campaigns to include wine
festivals like Soweto and Gugulethu to speak to this
market directly. It is the wine ‘trailblazers’,
the early adopters that will remain in the hearts
and minds of these consumers in the long run.
We look forward
to an amazing, double-the-size, double-the-fun wine
festival in 2012. See you there! |
