After calling for nominations in 30 different Best of categories for its Best of the Cape Awards, Kfm announced the five Finalists in the 30 categories throughout the day yesterday.
The restaurant industry has been fortunate to receive strong support in the Awards, an industry which has been severely disadvantaged during the past 18 months of Lockdown, 5 out of the 30 Best of categories being restaurant-related.
Friday 19 June 2020, Day 19 of Level 3, after 66 days at Levels 4 and 5 😷

The Sweet Service Award goes to Shimmy Beach Club and its GM Malcolm Moodie, its Deputy GM Stephan Fourie, the Shimmy Luxury Collection CEO Nicky van der Walt, and The Ritz GM Clayton Howard, for allowing me to see the fantastic Goldfish concert at Shimmy Beach Club earlier this week, and with it fantastic seating which enabled me to take excellent photographs and videos.
