PICS: Groovists graduate at kasi shisanyama!

THESE individuals make beer venues more enjoyable.

Without them, such lively places wouldn't exist.

Their dedication to drinking, having fun, and dancing didn't go unnoticed this time, as one shisanyama honoured them.

Nearly 10 groovists graduated at the Value Meat Real Braai Shisanyama in Emalahleni, Mpumalanga, on Saturday, 12 October.

These dedicated groovists were recognised with graduation gowns and certificates for their commitment to grooving.

In addition, they were awarded vouchers to buy drinks and meat, enabling them to continue doing what they love.

This is the first time such an event has happened at this establishment, and there are plans for it to be an annual occurrence.

According to the Value Meat Real Braai Shisanyama Marketing Manager, Bathini Enoccent Letlaka, these dedicated patrons make the venue vibrant and attractive.

As an establishment, they felt a need to recognise them.

"These people are the pillars of the establishment. They deserve to be honoured. Without them, this place is nothing. They keep the vibe going and ensure there are activities that new patrons will fall in love with. We really appreciate them as much as they appreciate this place," Bathini said.

One of the honoured groovists, who declined to be named, said: "Everybody does what they love. Loving to have fun is what some of us are destined to do. Yes, we do go to work and provide for our families, but we enjoy being here too. People who drink alcohol are the most kind-hearted and friendliest in society because they love sharing and being happy. I'm happy to constantly enjoy coming here," he said.

SunReaders, that's not all.

The establishment plans to give one of their groovist couples their dream wedding.

"Our next project is to make a couple's dream come true by organising their wedding. Patrons will nominate couples who are always seen together to get married. We'll buy them wedding rings and attire. We'll also take care of the decor right here. Afterwards, we'll fund their honeymoon.

"Entries are open for people to select a couple they want to see getting married. As I've said, this place wouldn't be what it is if it weren't for these people. We honour them," Bathini said.
