Our city is in the heat of a heavily contested election season. One shining light in the gimmick-laden campaigns has been Dr Tlaleng Mofokeng - UN expert, medical doctor, human rights defender, and now, a mayoral candidate asking Joburg to vote for dignity.

We have invited Dr T to put her feet up and let us make her a cocktail this Friday, and we’re inviting our community to come in for a chat, and meet the muva behind the campaign - and get a peak into her playlist!

Pride is a protest, Rattiez 🏳️‍🌈✊❤️
