Peruse stalls at a leisurely pace as hands-on producers passionately talk you through their wares from traditional English sausages to decadent baked goods, handcrafted organic cheeses, breads a nd rustic French staples like terrines and rillettes.  You’ll also find Middle Eastern and Mediterranean specialities from baklava to falafel. If you’re shopping with a conscience you can buy organic veg or a pre-installed, irrigated system to grow your own organic vegetables.

Celebrating and planting trees at Mjoji Primary School In the spirit of Arbor Week, Sibaya Casino and Entertainment Kingdom volunteers joined Grade 7 learners in rolling up their sleeves and plant 20 indigenous trees at Mjoji Primary School, near Osindisweni hospital, outside Verulam. The trees, donated by Sibaya, were Grewia Occidentalis and Dovyalis Caffra, which are indigenous to KwaZulu-Natal. Arbor Week serves to generate awareness of the devastating effects of deforestation and urbanization on the environment, with the aim to encourage South Africans to do their bit to help replenish what has been lost by planting more trees. Arbor Day, a celebration of the beauty and importance of trees, was initiated by Mr. J Sterling Morton in Nebraska way back in 1872. South Africans adopted the concept in 1983 and it has since evolved into a month long awareness campaign that has the creation of a greener future at its core. “It is important to educate young South ...
