Mdzananda Animal Clinic and Shelter is proud to announce its third annual Gala Dinner and Auction, taking place on Saturday, 9 May 2026 at the Two Oceans Aquarium.
This year’s event holds special significance as the organisation celebrates 30 years of serving the animals and community of Khayelitsha – three decades of compassion, care and commitment to improving animal welfare.
Guests can look forward to an unforgettable evening in one of Cape Town’s most breathtaking venues, surrounded by fellow animal lovers and supporters. The night will begin with a vibrant pre-drinks experience, featuring a live performance by the talented Isibane Se Afrika Choir, setting the tone for an inspiring and heartfelt celebration.
The evening will be hosted by renowned broadcaster Pippa Hudson, with Guy McDonald leading an exciting live auction featuring exclusive items and experiences. Guests will also enjoy a two-course dinner with complimentary table wine and sweet treat, along with opportunities to connect, network and engage more deeply with the work of Mdzananda.
Kelly Arendse, Event Organiser and Fundraiser for Mdzananda Animal Clinic, shares that the event brings together like-minded supporters for an enjoyable evening while raising essential funds to continue the organisation’s work in Khayelitsha and surrounding communities.
Proceeds from the Gala Dinner support Mdzananda’s services, including veterinary care, animal rescue, community education and outreach programmes, helping ensure that animals in need receive ongoing care.
