A percentage of ticket sales will be donated to the Isle of Man Foodbank from the SAFFA festival to be held next month.
Isle Settle, in partnership with the Isle of Man Chapter of the SA Chamber of Commerce UK, has announced the first-ever SAFFA Festival, sponsored by Standard Bank, is to be held on September 23.
The celebration of South African culture, food, music, and lifestyle will be held at The Nunnery, culminating in a screening of the highly anticipated South Africa versus Ireland rugby match.
The festival's programme includes a family-friendly tag-and-touch rugby tournament, and a ‘Local is Lekker (nice)' market, featuring local and South African artisans, crafters, makers and bakers.
Lee Francis, Chief Executive and Island Head for Standard Bank Isle of Man, said: “We are delighted to be able to support this event that brings together the whole Isle of Man community to celebrate the presence of African culture locally.
“As a member of the Standard Bank Group, Standard Bank Isle of Man keeps our African connection pivotal to all that we do, Africa is our home and we drive her growth. It is pleasing to be able to support uniting the energy of our Group’s African heritage with that of our Manx heritage here on the Island, synergising both rich cultures in one place.”
