FANCY A BID ON …
POST LOCKDOWN – Bid on a week-long stay worth R30 000 for six guests in a French Gite in the Dordogne Valley; or getaways to a host of five-star properties including an all-inclusive stay at Angama Mara in Kenya (voted number one safari destination by Condé Nast Traveller); six nights at the world acclaimed Natural Selection’s premier lodges Jacks Camp and Sable Alley in the Botswana Okavango Delta; two nights in the award-winning Singita Lebombo; as well as stays in the iconic Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel, the phenomenal Tintswalo Atlantic, once in a lifetime Thornybush Luxury Game Lodge Saseka, and a host of other dreamy, exclusive properties in Southern Africa.
WINE & DINING – Local chefs and South African winemakers have also gifted a series of epicurean experiences. South African Michelin-star chef Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen has gifted a dinner for two at his award-winning restaurant JAN in Nice, France in aid of COURAGE, while lots like a dinner hosted by Masterchef Celebrity chef Pete Goffe-Wood or dinners cooked in your home by local culinary superstar personalities Cheyne Morrisby and Liam Tomlin are sure to stir up plenty of interest.
Wines from Paul Cluver, Vilafonté and Bouchard Finlayson are already part of the auction line up, with plenty more expected to be added before the final auction event.
SPORT & ADVENTURE
For adventurous souls, some of the lots include a private day surf and wine adventure with Escape + Explore, as well as an afternoon sail for eight people on Cape Town berthed yacht Strumpet.
ART & CULTURE
A custom designed Richard Scott original Vespa worth over R200 000 has been donated to the COURAGE auction line-up and will be loaded this week, while bids for photographic artworks by Hout Bay valley resident Klaus Tiedge can already be made.
STILL TO COME
As more exciting lots are gifted and loaded onto the website in the coming weeks, the COURAGE live auction page is guaranteed to become a hotbed of activity.

It will last around 1,5 hours, and much admired local MC and auctioneer Joey Burke, with the assistance of live virtual performances by Zolani Mohala and Alan Committee, will be helping participants to dig deep and claim their winning bids!
