All Africa Events ConFex 2017
13 - 14 September 2017, Randburg, Johannesburg, Gauteng
Who would have thought we have such an excellent auditorium at the SA Military Museum? All Africa Events Confex held a wellrounded two day event and asked me to speak on ethical food, sustainable design and décor.
We dressed a wedding table with only eco friendly items to demonstrate how easy and beautiful it can be.
I met lovely people: many enthusiastic young entrepreneurs; some newly qualified young men who are starting a TV programme; brave young business people; some chef friends and I had the unexpected pleasure of having conversations with wonderful, wise older women (one of whom opened the first Black restaurant in Soweto in the 1960s) who are confused by the attitude of today's youth.
I wasn't supposed to stay the full two days, but Augustine Masilela-Chuene's programme covered topics I needed to know more about.
Thank you to BOAS - Bohlatse Acoustics for impeccable acoustics.
Augustine Masilela-Chuene: "My favourite live wire in a small package. Lorraine Jenks you are dynamic and a pleasure to be around. I learn new things about sustainability each time I am with you. What a gem you are to our Country. I just wish everyone in SA can just have a minute with you. Then we can change our attitudes when it comes to our environment and th a damage we cause to it. People would not be sick all the time. I love how funny you are when you give talks and in any conversation. Actually I lack words to describe your awesomeness, beauty, Grace, class and elegance. Simply non pretentious being!!! The real McCoy in Greening".
