Did You Know The average American spends about 38 hours a year stuck in traffic

Slowly but surely, things seems to be getting hot in here. Or should I say across Cape Town? We are currently finding ourselves in the third last month for the 2017 year. Honestly speaking, the last few months have really just flown passed – unexpectedly. We will soon have to look back on how 2017 was for Movere. September started off with a bang, took a dip between the middle weeks of the month and then picked up closer to the end of the month again by spoiling the Cape’s petrol heads with multiple choices of shows and activities they can partake in. We all of course know the All Fuelled Up car show started things off, followed by the Team Honda car show and the shows which followed, we cover in this edition of Movere. You’ll come

across the Team Honda Charity Show, Team Dub Auto Fest’s Grand Spring Auto and then there is the shows hosted by Opel Squad LTD, Motor Madness. Last but not least, Readon took a trip to KZN to check out Stance Fest. Information are making their rounds regarding the busy month of December that will be awaiting the scene. Thus far we are aware of the annual Dub Auto Fest that will be happening and then teaser information on the Toyota Fest are reaching the Jap enthusiasts. Cape Town will have to prepare itself for huge celebrations coming. The year will have to be finished off with a bang and 2018 have too kick started with a huge party to get us up and ready for what will be coming to the Cape Scene in 2018. More information will be

revealed very soon. Between the pages of Movere we can currently find two Polo owners that we’ve seen out and about roaming the Cape Streets with their interesting cars. I will not ruin any juicy information about Muzaith and Kyle. You better make sure you go check out their articles. Further more, we know we will be seeing you at an event across the Mother City within the next few weeks. Looking forward to seeing Cape Town showcasing their cars and talents. Here’s to the last 2 months left of 2017. May your year start reaching a massive high by which you enjoy the summer that will soon spring upon us. It going to call for huge celebrations with friends and family as we will soon say goodbye to 2017.

The Cape’s Car Clubs: And we are strolling down the pathway of bring 2017 to an end. In last month’s article, we mentioned how this has been a very busy year for us. With this article, we are sure it will all makes sense on why this has been such a busy year for the club. This is a good thing as this is an indication of growth – whilst we find ourselves busy working together as a unit to achieve one of the clubs major goals for November 2017 – but more information on that will. Talking about growth, each and every club can have a look at 2017 to see how they have grown – tremendously. It might not be in physical numbers, but more and better relationships have been built. Some clubs even worked in harmony with other clubs, individuals and companies to bring various initiative by which the community out there was impacted in a positive way. The clubs who managed to deliver positive to the community out there, whether it be a soup run, gathering of clothes and

Cape Polo Crew

food for families who lost everything due to tragic fires – we salute you for the act of kindness you have expressed. It is because of individuals and clubs such as you that the Cape Car Fraternity still has a positive name. Now we need to start focusing on creating a better unit as the Car Fraternity in order to unite and deliver a bigger impact in 2018. We think this is one of the things we will need to work on in 2018. Having the scene come together as one, and working together as a team to create an unstoppable force to be wrecked with. For those who are aware, Cape Polo Crew has a little initiative of our own. This is “Charity Begins At Home.” We have been informing you guys about it for the past few months. We will recently shared new information regarding this event which will be hosted in November. Make sure you check out our Facebook group, Cape Polo Crew, where you will be able to find more information regarding the event. Should there be any questions,

feel free to make contact with us, and we would be more than willing to help and assist where we possibly can. Do note that more information will be released on social media during the next few weeks. We would like to give a toast to the lovely ladies of Cape Polo Crew. This is because they represented the club at Motor Madness and Grand Spring Auto. A wide collection of trophies was brought home. May this be the start to many great things to all of you who managed to win something in the category you represented the club in. To the men of Cape Polo Crew we wish to say thank you for trying. It warms our heart to know you have tried at least. We’ll be keeping our fingers crossed for the next show by which you guys will have to step up your game. Furthermore we wish to thank the hosts of Grand Spring Auto and Motor Madness for allowing the team to partake in the events.

The Cape’s Car Clubs: The Dub Familia is still alive and kicking and has had a very busy month of September. The club is growing from strength to strength, not just in numbers but also in persona and identity. We would like to welcome all our new members; and we trust you grow with us as a familia. On the 2 September 2017, we co-hosted a charity event with an organisation called Next Level Living (NLL), who do a lot of charity work through their ministry. The beneficiary of the event was the Village Care Centre which is based in Lavender Hill. The briefing we received from NLL was to assist where needed, to light up the streets of Lavender Hill and to put a smile on the faces of the children. With the help of German Freaks, we managed to put on quite a show for the kids. We really managed to some happiness and smiles to the streets and we also managed to provide the care centre with some toiletries and non-perishables food

stuffs. We would like to thank German Freaks for assisting us on the day and we hope that we will continue to have a fruitful and strong relationship going forward. We also look forward to working together with Next Level Living and German Freak - there are already some plans in the pipeline - so watch this space!!! On the 23 September 2017, we celebrated our 1 year anniversary since Dub Familia was established. We had a braai at Newlands Forest where we reminisced and reflected about the year that has past. We were established as a “rebel club” and my oh my, how have we grown. To all the Familia Members; remember that as much as we revisit the past , there is nothing new there to see. We have accomplished a lot, so it is only onwards and upwards from here on. One 25 September 2017, we supported our newly found brothers German Freaks at a 5-A-SIDE soccer tournament which took place in Seawinds. They helped us a few weeks ago, so we just

Dub Familia had to return the favour. We provided the children with some juice and fresh fruit during half-time. From the event we also got to witness some youngsters with lots of talent and potential. Small events and initiatives like this is what gives our youth hope and opens their minds. It was time well spent and we will definitely assist with similar initiatives in the future. German Freaks challenged us to a game, unfortunately we had to decline and this was due to the fact that most of familia members are built more for rugby than soccer. On the 30 September 2017, we attended Team DAF’s Grand Spring Auto Show V3. As usual, it was a professional and well run event. Many of our guys took part in the Sound-off and pushed out some good dB readings. We would like to congratulate one of our Familia Members, Mr Divan Adams, for taking 3rd in Bagged Class. Well done brother, may this be one of many more. Yours in Wax, Quick Detailer and Tyre Dressing.

The Cape’s Car Clubs: It’s time for Havok Squad to start representing, and with our members going through all their changes in cars and upgrades we look forward to hitting the scene this summer, and to recognised as the crew you all know Havok Squad to be. Many of our members have traded their rides for newer vehicles, whilst others have done some drastic changes to their current rides, and we think it is time for not only Havok Squad but for all motor enthusiasts to come out and showcase what they have, whether it is built or bought. Summer has rapidly been approaching and the time to prep has run out. Now is your time to shine. We as the Cape Town car scene need to step it up a level this summer and unite all aspects of the scene. Havok Squad pledges to support all events, of all types. If we can attend a race, stance, show ‘n shine, sound off, etc meet, then you can too.

Havok Squad

It is 2017 and it is time to open your mind to all the aspects of the scene. The car scene does not only live in stance, and neither does it live only in Killarney, or school car shows. The love for cars lives in all aspects of the culture, and we as Havok Squad would like to urge everybody that considers themselves as a part of this movement to support every event that you can. If you are one of those people only attending the hook-ups that pertain to your ride build, then I can guarantee that you are missing out on so much more of what this lifestyle has to offer. Unity will not happen if we all thought in a way that provokes hate or discomfort to another man’s build, whether it’s your style or not. We need to educate ourselves more about each other’s taste in styling and learn to appreciate the build for what has been accomplished. As the chairman of Havok Squad (Morne Dirks), I am proud to say that our club

has at least one vehicle for each aspect of the car scene, and all our members support each other and the different type of events. Killarney motor show happening on the 15th October is the perfect example to see that the Cape Town car culture can come together as one. We urge all those hosting events this summer to make sure not to leave Havok Squad off the invite list, as we look forward to representing not only Havok Squad, but representing Kaapstad! We look forward to seeing those robot racing guys pitching up at First Wednesdays, and those stance rides on the track. We look forward to seeing those “elite” rides pull through to school shows, and those with nothing more but 6x9’s entering the sound-off. In the end, it’s all about support & unity! PS. Can somebody host a mass park-off already!?

The Cape’s Car Clubs:

Honda Republic Squad

Hey all Movere Readers, Club Supports and Club Members. We’re back again this month to fill you in on what’s going down in Honda Republic Squad this month. We are also fortunate to have a slight twist this month as one of our members Lidia Ruth Osche will be placed in the spot light. We’re sure you have heard a lot about her fresh white EK ballade but there’s a lot more you don’t know… like she was a Limer within Movere a few months ago. Bet you didn’t know that. You probably wondering if you saw Lidia’s car roaming the street of Cape Town or maybe you saw her on Facebook posting picture of her emasculate Honda 150i EK ballade. So our question to Lidia was why Honda? Her reply was “people are sure to recognize that Honda is amongst the highest quality vehicles on the road today. That’s the very reason why I fell in-love with my Honda a year ago.” When Lidia isn’t working she claims to be “skitting” that fresh EK all around Cape Town. So what modification does

Lidia’s 150i have? Lidia is driving a 2000 Honda EK new spec ballade, she’s rolling on a set of vtec wheels; to give her that fresh and clean OEM look. She also has a 60mm lowering kit in front and a 40mm lowering kit at the back for that “face down ass up.” Lidia’s Honda also has a free flow exhaust system for that “lekker” sound that makes you want to break your neck. Lidia also has a tilt and slide sunroof for when she’s “skitting” with her friends and for that warm summer days. This is one sexy EK if I must say so myself big ups to Lidia on her beauty. So we asked Lidia what do you like about your Honda? She replied” first and foremost I like the brand and I just love the angular shape of the EK.”

She also says that she loves the sound and the speed of her car even though it’s not a VTEC. She loves the reliability of her car and that her car is spacious so she can fit all her friends into her awesome ride and have no problems with sitting uncomfortable. Lidia firmly believes that “if you don’t look back at your car after you park it, you own the wrong car.” And that the EK of hers got everyone staring for days. Lidia also won best Lady owned Honda at Honda Day 2017 which was a very big achievement for Lidia and the Honda Republic Squad team. I hope everyone stays safe on the road and don’t forget to follow us on Facebook, like and share please. Until next time.

The Cape’s Car Clubs: We are back and ready to go full boost with information regarding #LadyOwnersCT for the past month. The ladies have been extremely quiet as we have decided to take quite a long break, as we mentioned in the previous article. We do apologise for being quiet. Our supporters have been asking whether we still exist, we do! We are currently undergoing some major changes and plan to come back with a bang. We know you are waiting in anticipation to see what we have planned next and we can assure you it will be worth the wait. Although we haven’t had any of our own events in the past month, some of our ladies attended two different events. The one event attended being MSA drags held at Killarney. The vibe was amazing and the food is always great! I mean, who goes to Killarney and doesn’t have a steak roll? With some drivers having broken some of their own time records, it made for a good chilled day!

Lady Owners CT

The other event which was attended was Drift City, definitely a show that keeps you on your toes. The roaring sounds of the cars and the views of the cars coming side ways around corners, something you don’t see or experience every day. Let us not forget about that sweet tyre smell. Indeed an awesome experience overall. We are hoping Drift City will motivate some of our ladies with the RWD cars to get into the drifting scene and pull up to events sideways!

She has also added a fully worked sohc vtec head as well as a 30kw nitrous injection kit. The bride bucket seats and the volk te37 rims, which will be added soon, will sure be finishing off the look nicely.

This month we will be featuring our very own Kristan Abrahams. One of our Honda ladies in the crew. Kristan is a chemical engineer employed as such by the City of Cape Town in the Water and Sanitation department. Like most of our other ladies, Kristan eats, sleeps and breaths cars. She owns a 160i Honda Civic which has recently undergone some major changes. The most eye catching change being the new battleship grey paint work. In addition, she has added a beautiful blue to her engine “bae.”

Kristan will hopefully be attacking the track soon too. Something we are all looking forward to since we know and understand the time, hard work and frustration she has endured to get her car “done.” Go Krissy! Hopefully in our next article we will have more content regarding #LadyownersCT and the plans we have in the pipeline. Keep your eyes peeled for details. Be safe ladies and gents. Always remember to buckle up. #LadyOwnersCT

The Cape’s Car Clubs: Hi all – that time again where we are able to present what we’ve got coming from the house of Opel Squad LTD. But before we get there, allow us to say Happy Spring to all Movere readers and Opel Squad fans. This has been another fun-filled busy month for the squad, especially since we have approached Motor Madness 2. But let’s not beat around the bush and get right to it as we always do. We started our month off by attending two shows on one day (2 September) in order to show our support at both. Our Saturday morning started early where we rocked up at Dynotech’s dyno day and it was dynamite (haha sorry, please excuse the dry humour, we are exhausted prepping for Motor Madness 2). Later that day we then went to the All Fueled up show held at the Goodwood rugby field and ended our day off there. Some really eye catching old school rides pulled through and lots of good looking cars that stole the show. In a good way of

Opel Squad LTD

couse. So finally MM2 arrived and wow was it a success … thank you to all for the support! We would like to thank the following car clubs for their input, support and attendance. This merely because without your input, the show would not have rocked as much. So with this, we would like to give a big thank you to the following clubs: Opel Maniacs, Cape Polo Crew, German Stance / Grounded Nation, Old School Dubz Crew, OT Crew, All 4 Flat 4, 4AGE 20v, All About Datsun Those Datsun Boys made an amazing impact !! Mr Brendon Morkel , Mr Ricky Prins , Ruben Petersen and a face from last year as BOSS OF MM1 Mr Theo Williams - we thank you for coming to support Motor Madness and hope to see u at third instalment of Motor Madness. We would like to thank our sponsors for the amazing gifts and prizes: Shield Chemicals, The Car Spa, Top Gear Tinting, Studio 69 Beauty Products.

Thank you also to Frequently Deaf and Mr Donovan Munnik and friends for hosting the sound off!! We hope to do future business with you. The day was filled with laughter and fun times thanks to the car clubs being so willing to be part of the club activities. It was really a joy watching everyone compete against each other in a respectful way. OSL in conjunction with little Palace nursery school presented Motor Madness 2 this September at Tafelberg High in Bothasig and what a day it was! Everything went off so smoothly and we have made a positive contribution towards the Little Palace school for the outside playground. Once again I thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for always having our back and we at OSL appreciate you. Squad out. Peace, love and Opel

Seeking The LIME #LIMERS

RUSHDIEN JOHAAR I’m a 39 year old, father of 3 daughters and married for 16 years. I find myself working in the printing industry. Being the family guy coupled with work takes up most of my time but make time for soccer and my crew – oops, I meant my other family, CPC. I started out my car history with a 2004 Tazz. When wifey got her licence I decided to get myself another car which ended up being a black 9N - and I was in love. I had her for about 18 months after which I sold and moved on to my current white 2010 polo 6R. She remains stock except for a few visual tweaks. I covered the roof in black carbon fibre vinyl smoked both back and front headlights and also covered the badges in red vinyl. The mirrors have a touch of black and red vinyl. Added an Adidas logo (my fav brand) to the fuel cap and more recently added rear spoiler and lip both covered in the black carbon fibre viny. The last touch I added was finally getting my 17inc GTI clubsport replicas fitted. Sound is fairly basic with a Sony head unit, Powerbass 2 channel amp and a Pioneer competition series 12inch subwoofer. Future plans include lowering the car a bit and upgrading the sound system. I’ve not done much to my car but she still makes me look back and smile when I park her. As I mentioned I belong to team nuts, better known as Cape Polo Crew. I could not have found a better home. It’s a blend of crazy non-stop laughter and understanding of our mission - to help where we can as often as we can. Not only supporting our own charity initiatives but also to pitch in with other crews to help others less fortunate. When we started out one statement stuck with me, ”Just the mere fact that we each own a car means were so much more fortunate than so many others.” This why joined CPC and we push every day to see where we can help be it a food drop clothing collection or a matric ball or wedding. Help is the main focus.

Moegamat Yusriy Samaai


MOEGAMAT YUSRIY SAMAAI Hi my name is Moegamat Yusriy Samaai however Pang is what I’m famous for. I am a 24-year-old IT Technician at Mustek Limited in Cape Town. I’ve been working there since 2014 after completing my Diploma in Information Technology. I’m a man of little words yet let me start by saying my love for cars started while I was on high school, going on Saturday nights to the dices on Modderdam Road and Sacks Circle and playing Need for Speed Underground. I am driving a VW Polo Vivo. I have my car for 2 years now that received the nickname as “Bra V.” I was introduced to Cape Polo Crew by a friend and seeing all the great things they do for charity and how close the members are made me want to join little did I know that they would be like my own Family. Their advice gave me plenty of ideas on how to make My “Bra V” look and represent what type of person I am and not knowing that much as I know now about specifying cars is enough motivation to start personalizing my car because back then all I loved was my “Bluetooth radio.” I decided to start small and got myself 2x Welcome lights for my front doors and a full Kicker sound system, which consist out of 2x splits, 2x 6x9 and 2x 10” subs installed into a custom made box with a 250W amp and 300W monoblock. Being a new comer to the Car Culture I thought I’d never win anything, but to my surprise at the DSTV Car Festival I won Best boot display. Going to car shows also gives me varies ideas on what to do to a car but as people say “less is always more”. There is still a lot of things I plan on doing to the car in the near future yet there’s still loads of time for everything, but you can also expect some sexy changes to “Bra V” - so watch this space. Thank you to the Movere Digizine team for granting me the opportunity to be part of Seeking The Lime as a #Limer.

Movere’s KitMe Let’s get back to the basics...

We get caught up in building a career, taking our passion and hobby to the next level, forcing to beat the next individual, or making ends meet - all this to forget about the little and simple things in life that make it worth living. Let’s take the time out to reset, and make the moment with living.

KITME

Life’s interesting…if you let it be…

Unity, is defined as “the state of being united or joined as a whole.”

We find ourselves within a time whereby the Cape is separated by miscommunication between people who find themselves sharing the same passion. Not only are we to educate ourselves on what’s going wrong, but we need to enlighten ourselves on how to build a bridge between the gap that has already been created.

A power struggle finds Cape Town car camps separated.

As motoring enthusiast, we are driven by our passion for all things cars. Whether this is speed, stance, sound, drift, drag or just show & shine. People with different cultures, creeds, backgrounds, and personalities within the Cape Town car fraternity seems to be causing a split amongst the so-called car lovers. We get it, people don’t easily form bonds and

connections with one another, especially when you have not formally been introduced to the individual. This makes it so much harder at times to build - what could have been a great bond with a fellow petrol head. And as a result, we find Cape Town building up walls which separates us. This takes away teamwork, and with the exclusion of teamwork, a foundation to help one another, or to work together cannot be formed. A quote by Mattie J.T Stepanek reads, “Unity is

strength. Where there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.” Focusing on one word within the above quote, Unity, is defined as “the state of being united or joined as a whole.”

This term indicates why Cape Town find themselves in turmoil. There is no brotherly bond, no teamwork, no unit as there is no joint forces to work and solve a common problem, or reaching to pre-set goals. Therefore, it is time that Cape Town notices the problem at hand and a few things that could be implemented to change

the issue that could lead to much greener grass to be found in Cape Town.

The power struggle creates separation, whilst the unity will grow and maintain a bond between the folk of the Cape car scene. This explains why there is no friendly hooting and wave as a gesture of “I see you” is expressed when a member from another club drives passed you, or a picture is taken of a car and uploaded to social media, tagging the respective owner in a polite and friendly manner. We all are aware of one little thing that can really change everything be-

tween individuals that is communication. Communication is the first key we not only could but SHOULD implement.

Communication can help establish conversation between two parties by which feelings, concerns, ideas and the pathway to goals are shared. This will then help to control and regulate individual behavior, and of course, make us understand one another. Every human being is worthy of profound respect. If order is maintained through communication, we can easily adjust our tempers with the goal to show better respect to our

Movere’s KitMe

Reminding you about

the basics…

fellow petrol heads. Resulting in improved communications, which can lead to better outcomes.

Do you notice how these three points can create a circular effect, and how you cannot have one without the other? This will be so insightful to see how the number of verbal fights on social media will be decreased, together with all the other outcomes such as bad mouthing and backstabbing.

If the above mentioned is-

sues are maintained, it will be easier to break down the “power struggle” – creating a vision will become the ultimate goal between petrol heads despite the car club. This vision will need to be something all mutual parties will have to agree to. It needs to be a collective objective. At the end of the day, we need to have ambition and a purpose, otherwise, we will find ourselves roaming without any target in sight. Like they say, an idle mind is the devil’s workshop. Once an end has been

placed, it going to be on to more difficult things – building trust within the team. This is something a lot of people struggle with. The reason for this point being so troublesome is simply for the fact that you don’t know the next person who you are asked to work with. But did you know this can quickly and easily be overcome by simply looking for ways to be of assistance to the next person in the group or the unit as a whole? Not keeping information or insights to yourself, but rather sharing it openly for

everyone. Making it easier for the entire unit to more efficiently reach the goal and objective which is set out.

To make things even easier, a schedule or a few routines to be put into place. Whether this is having meetings to discuss issues at hand, or whether it be something social to build relationships amongst the members. Then last but not least – have fun! Really try to set out social time for the entire group to bond with one another. This way

members can build the required trust, share their knowledge and experience. Here is something to note that is really insightful – everyone smiles in the same language. Think about the above-mentioned points. Don’t just read them, but consider on how you can implement them in your own life, and to utilize with those around you. It’s important for us to work in harmony with one another. Just like each string of a guitar is required to produce its own note in a very

special way, you have to remember, “individually we are a drop, but together we are an ocean.” We end of with the following wise words, “neither man or women is perfect or complete without the other. Thus no marriage, or family, no ward or stake is likely to reach its full potential until husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, man and women work together in unity of purpose, respecting and relying on each other’s strengths.”

“...We do believe that the passion shared amongst these guys are so tangible based on the way that they conduct themselves as well as their commitment to supporting the various initiatives within the Cape Car Scene...” More often than not, our team roams around the Cape Car Scene in pursuit of new talent regardless of car make or model. We seldom take into consideration intense modifications or any specific types of cars. To us, it is really about the individual and their passion for what they do. We have come to know quite a few people that

have really impressed us with their initiative and that have shown us what being a true petrol head is all about. This month’s feature is no different with his very obvious humble approach and undeniable commitment to the Cape Car Scene. It was a bit of a struggle to get hold of this gentleman but we finally managed to do so

and we are happy that we did.

We first saw this beautiful car on the scene at a recent car show and it immediately caught our attention. It is one of those cars that leave you with a number of questions because of its unique qualities that speaks volumes about the owner. Muzaith, an ambitious young gentle-

man from the streets of Kuils River, is the proud owner of a blue 2013 1.4 Polo trend line.

He is no stranger to the Cape Car Scene being part of it from as early as 2007. When we spoke to Muzaith to understand a bit of the history behind his passion, he made mention of joining his first crew back in 2008 already and they were known as Volkedition back then. He has been part of a number of crews throughout the years seeing that he owned more than 4 vehicles during his lifetime. Funny enough, one would think that it is a norm for someone to be loyal to one brand of vehicle however, Muzaith proved us wrong.

His very first car was a 1600 Toyota Corolla which he unfortunately wrote off due to an accident. This did not stop him from living out his passion and that is when he purchased a 1.6 Carb 1985 MK1 which was at that time already in the family and driven by his mother. It was no surprise when he mentioned that he brought his own identity to the car. This included but is not limited to HID kit,

body kit, lowering kit, colour change and many other things. It was very evident that Muzaith is really not a speedster but rather a stancer seeing that he did a lot of work on the appearance of all his cars. Like many others, there are those moments when he just feels like

“... Muzaith recently joined the newly formed Static Nation group, one of the groups that are making waves in the streets of Cape Town with their unique identity and great involvement in the scene. ...”

letting loose and pushing his car to it’s limits but that does not happen too often. As we mentioned before, Muzaith has been part of quite a few car groups over the years from different brands. Muzaith even had a Suzuki Swift at one point which we think he really did justice to. Muzaith recently joined the newly formed Static Nation group, one of the groups that are making waves in the streets of Cape Town with their unique identity and great involvement in the scene. We do believe that the passion shared amongst these guys are so tangible based on the

way that they conduct themselves as well as their commitment to supporting the various initiatives within the Cape Car Scene. When we spoke to him about the future plans, he mentioned that he was planning on fitting a branch with management and potentially a downpipe. This is of course not cast in stone as one can your mind at any point in time as the interests change. One thing that he mentioned was the fact that he is very happy with being static. Many times the individuals in the car scene talk about putting in air suspension over coilovers however, Muzaith is of the opinion that it is virtually the same. The only difference is that the one requires more effort than the other. Another important point that he mentioned was the fact that in order to properly maintain your air suspension, what needs to be in a comfortable position financially in case something goes wrong. This is so true. We have seen individuals that have gotten themselves in compromising positions because they were unable to maintain their

purchase.

In the end, this is one big car scene and we all have our own unique identity. The biggest issue at times is that we want to compete on various levels because we seek validation or some kind of status. We should actually be sharing in the passion and uplifting one another to becoming the best that we can be as individuals. We could hear that this is exactly where Muzaith is at in terms of his position in the scene. His passion is contagious so much so that it got us looking twice.

When we started the conversation with him, he mentioned that he did not think that his car was good enough to be featured on a platform such as this and we assume that there are many guys and girls out there that feel exactly the same as he did. We would like to break that barrier and smash that perception. It has really never been about whether you are good enough or not but rather about how passionate and original you are in terms of your execution. We could immediately see the initiative taken by Muzaith to showcase his individualism in his build and we are sure that he will continue to do so going forward.

With all this being said, this man has really opened our eyes to the possibility of making the seemingly difficult look easy. He has taken the opportunities that has been given to him and he has made it work. Being part of the Cape Car Scene is not always as clear cut and easy as it seems. It can overwhelm you at times however when you know exactly what you want and what you are passionate about, like Muzaith does, you find it easier to maintain a level head. Paula is indeed a head turner and will continue to evolve as time goes by. The work that we as petrol heads do on our cars never really stops because we are driven by that passion. We see something that we like and we simply just want to try it out.

Muzaith might have a specific plan in mind but with the help of his Static Nation team, he will be sure to make the right choices that will still allow him to live out his passion keeping in mind his very own identity. We are truly happy that he has given us this opportunity and wish him all the best of luck on his journey.

Gavin Naidoo


GAVIN NAIDOO We had the privilege of spending some time with Gavin Naidoo, a member of Slammed SA all the way out in Durban Kwa-Zulu Natal. What a remarkable man! Not only does he have an awesome personality with a great sense of humour, but one will immediately know exactly where you stand with him. When we saw his car, we know that we had to spend some time with him to understand where his ideas come from. Just like many other enthusiasts, Gavin started participating in the car scene from a young age attending car shows with family and friends. This man has a true passion for what he does and one can note this in his workmanship. We were pleasantly surprised to find that all the work done on his car, was done in the comfort of his home. Gavin works for a company called the Kopyshop down in Durban. The first thing that you notice when you look at this car is the bright colour? This wrapping was sponsored by his boss and it is truly a one of a kind. That together with the 17’ fifteen52 tarmac is simply breathtaking. Gavin shared his journey with us from when he first bought the car to where it is now. It’s been quite an adventure from what we heard but definitely one that he enjoyed. The love that he has for his little 2012 1.4 facelift Figo is amazing. This car has a lot of value for him especially since it has been with him through a number of things. There are not many changes made on the car besides the air suspense, the rims and the wrapping. Even with just those few changes, the car still pops. It can be labelled as one of those showstopper cars that one just has to see before you leave a car show. There are still many things that he has in mind for the future and we are hoping the Movere will be a part of this journey as he completes his build.

Samuel Williams


SAMUEL WILLIAMS Sometimes, we as a team meet new people that are not really active in the car scene but are as passionate about cars as we are. These individuals enter into conversation with us and we realise that they actually have a real passion for cars and they are willing to spend some time with us to discover that passion. That is exactly the case with this gentleman. The Movere Team was out at the Cape Town stadium one Wednesday doing a shoot for a feature and an Orange Ford Focus ST pulled up next to us. At first we wondered who this was and what they want. He got out of his car and approached one of our team member to ask what we are doing. This was of course the start of an entire conversation relating to cars and the car scene. Samuel Williams is a young gentleman from the Cape Town CBD are that has been roaming the streets of Cape Town for quite some time. We were surprised that we have not heard of him before seeing that he frequently meets up with fellow car enthusiasts for things like breakfast runs and park offs. He is not part of a club but we later found out that he occasionally participates in the Cape Car Scene as a supporter. His car is pretty standard with a few modifications here and there and we get the idea that he is very much in tune with his car’s boost. It was very refreshing to speak to something with a neutral view of the car scene and of course we were very grateful when he agreed for us to photograph his car for this feature. He hasn’t said much about future participation pertaining to the car scene but from what we could gather, he is becoming more and more involved as time goes by. We look forward to seeing what changes he will be making going forward and we will certainly keep in contact with him to bring you all the latest.

“...I would like to encourage everyone to continue to make a tangible contribution in the fraternity. Without each and everyone of you, this fraternity would cease to exist...” Welcome back to a brand new month. It has been quite a busy month in the car scene with various shows happening across the mother city. According to what I hear, it all went down very well but you can surely read about in through the pages of this edition.

For me, it has been a busy month as well with event, club things and various other projects. I had the privilege of heading to Durban to attend Stance Fest. What a great experience this was as I got to see what the Durban car scene has to offer. Firstly, I have to speak about the weather in Durban. At first when you arrive you immediately feel the difference in climate but then you

really settle into it and you feel the tropical weather. Even when it’s raining, it is still hot, so much so that you can actually wear a shorts and t-shirt in the rain.

Let’s talk about the car scene. It is so dynamic and interesting with people doing some amazing things with their cars. The biggest fraternity in the Durban area is of course Grounded Nation which we have recently launched in Cape Town. Another crew that I got to know about down there is DubLife and Phansi. I must admit, these guys have some sick rides. I can honestly say that from the looks of things, about 75% of the car scene down in Durban has air rides seeing that it

is so affordable and accessible down there. The other thing that stood out for me was the passion for the scene, it’s contagious to the point that one does not want the events or gatherings to end.

Grounded Nation plays a bit role down in Durban. Almost every car that roam the streets of KZN is tagged as Grounded Nation. They are doing such a great job with making sure that the car scene comes together to share their passion for cars and stance. To them, it is all about the unity and respect. Their aim is to break the barriers of division and status so much so that enthusiast may feel comfortable with their build as it does reflect their individ-

uality after all. With this being said, the Slammed SA brand is equally as influential down in Durban with a specific purpose in mind. It started out as a photography brand but slowly grew into a movement that has seen enthusiasts becoming more involved. It was therefore no surprise to see them snapping away at Stance Fest and soon after, uploading some great images on the page.

With all this being said, Cape Town is still the place where I’d prefer to be. I think that the scene down here is a bit more dynamic and that makes for amazing experiences. Thank you to the Durban guys for their hospitality and for allowing me to explore the car scene there. I can with confidence say that it was worth every kilometer driven and that I would definitely do it again.

Check our more of the coverage in the “The Streets” section.

I found myself enjoying the great and positive vibes from the Durban scene.

“a prime example of someone that took the negative and turned it into positive and at the same time living out his passion. It is pretty evident that his experience is a huge driver behind his obvious love for uplifting his community” Inspirational stories are always such a pleasure to write about especially when the individual involved is really such a good example of strength and endurance. We focus so much on the cars at times that we forget that the ideas being the builds actually comes from the experiences and ideas of the owner of the vehicle. We

need to acknowledge that there is meaning behind modifications made to a car and specifically the names that are generally given to the cars. A few months ago, we spotted Kyle Booysen at a car show. We remember him standing next to his Bad Panda and wiping it so much that the shine was almost blinding.

Have you ever just stood still, looked at a car enthusiast while they are busy cleaning their car and wondered what they might be thinking? Well, there was really nothing to wonder about when we first saw Kyle. One could immediately see how in love he is with his car and this of course links into the passion for the Cape Car Scene.

We then had the privilege of having a conversation with him and we were pleasantly surprised by what we heard. Kyle grew up on the Cape Flats under less than favourable circumstances. He knows exactly what it is about when we mention the word struggle but the more you talk to this remarkable young man, the more you find yourself in owe of his humility and pride in all his achievements.

He is a prime example of someone that took the negative and turned it into positive and at the same time living out his passion. It is pretty evident that his experience is a huge driver behind his obvious love for uplifting his community and giving back. When we asked Kyle what are the words that he finds most profound, it was no sur-

prise when he said: “Life is a journey, live day by day”.

He recently joined up with friends who started out a crew called Cape Flats Stance. This aim of this club is strictly charity with the focus of uplifting the community, specifically in their area and surroundings. Now we get to talk about his baby which he calls Bad Panda. One would hear the name and ask yourself: “Why that name?”

This name actually has quite significant meaning to Kyle seeing that it links to the movie KungFu Panda. The panda in the movie is portrayed as the underdog but as time progress, the panda rises above its own circumstance and becomes sought after. This is in direct relation to the car and Kyle’s life story. Bad Panda is a 2015 Polo Vivo Comfortline, bought

stock standard from the dealership.

Something funny that Kyle brought to our attention was the fact that on the day when he purchased the car, he drove directly from the showroom floor to powerflow to do his exhaust system because he really did not like the standard sound of the car. Kyle started out with a lowering kit then moved to maxtrac coilovers and finally he approached Outlaw Airworx who fitted his airbag suspension. Bad Panda is sitting nicely on a pair of 185/35/17 tyres with a silver Messer rim.

Other modifications that were mentioned are things like a Golf 6 boot spoiler, a custom fibreglass lip and the new added DRL headlights. All these additions gives the car a nice, well-rounded look that is different to the rest. In terms of sounds, this baby is packing quite a punch with a powerful Targa setup. He has a Targa double din, Targa splits back and front, Targa tweeters, 2 Targa 4000w subwoofers, a 4 channel 4000w Targa viper amplifier and 1 Targa

Kyle Booysen

dynamite 12000w monoblock amplifier.

This is a lot for such a small car but of course it certainly gives it the edge above the rest. The sound is not really Kyle’s primary focus as the needs of the community comes first. It is evident that Kyle wants to be an inspiration to the youth in his community in terms of saying that regardless of your circumstances, you can still achieve excellence.

Many times people strive to build themselves and their brands but because there are individuals that do not want you to achieve, they will always try to break you down. The focus should always be on success and not on the opinions of others. As long as your intentions are pure, there should be no reason for others to feel threatened. Kyle mentioned that whenever he has a conversation with someone that does not know him, they tend to allude to the perception that you need to have money (be privileged) to be able to drive such nice cars. This is of course not the case. Kyle made it clear that whatever he has today, is all due to hard work and dedication. It is also about never losing focus and knowing your potential. Kyle definitely loves his

car and he has mentioned that there are a few more changes that are about to come. Change is good and as a person evolves, your likes and dislike may change as well. This could potentially spark even more changes to be made.

We have been wanting to do this feature on Kyle for the longest of time but he is actually quite a busy man. We extensively spoke about when to arrange a date for the shoot and how we are going to do it. It finally happened! We would like to thank Kyle for making himself available to us. Now we look to the future and we are excited to see what he will reveal next. We normally get to see the changes that were made at the car shows to follow but we believe the Movere team deserves previews, just our humorous moments.

Now that you know who Kyle is and you have gotten an exclusive sneak peek into his story, you can wave to him when you see the Bad Panda driving down the road. You can be assured that he will wave back at you because that is the humble person that he is!

Rizhaun Booysen


RIZHAUN BOOYSEN That moment when you are driving to a shoot and you immediately notice a nice looking car driving right past you in a hurry. You are, at this point a little disappointed because you actually wanted to see the full image of the vehicle and that sparks the need for you to hunt down the owner just to see how you can get them involved in your magazine. This was the case with Rizhaun, who we noticed at one point in time. His Golf 5 GTI is very unique and definitely got us wanting to see more of it. You can imagine the grin on our face when we got in contact with him and he agreed for us to take some shots and feature him in this month’s edition. This gentleman is very brave, just like many others because he works on the ocean as an engineer on an oil rig. When we first heard this, we were very sympathetic to his working conditions because we were very sure that it must be rather uncomfortable and difficult. Once we had a conversation with him, it was evident that our understanding was actually the opposite of the experience. We could really appreciate his passion not only for his job, but also for the car scene. We couldn’t stop staring at his car because it really is a show stopper. Even though there was little done to the car thus far, those changes still made an impact in terms of the looks and the performance of the car. Those white GTI rims adds somewhat of a nice twist to the dark grey coloured MK5 GTI and of course the fact the car moves quite nicely is an added bonus. It was indeed a pleasure for us to take some snaps of this vehicle and we look forward to any changes that might come in future. As always, we will keep in contact with Rizhaun so that we can give you all the updates as it happens.

Jean-Pierre Rudolph


JEAN-PIERRE RUDOLPH Showing up here for the first time means I have no other choice but to give a proper introduction on myself before I get cracking by sharing information on this car you’re seeing right here. So my name is Jean-Pierre Rudolph. I am a 27 year old resident from Atlantis who’s been living in at Atlantis for 27 years. I currently find myself being full-time employed at Atlantis Foundries for ± 10 years. And I’m also a part time photographer. I drive a 1997 Toyota Conquest – Baby Camry. At this very moment, stock standard 1600 4-AFE nitir with a full 50mm Pro-fit exhaust and a Noise Boys Branch. I’ve changed about 17 sets of rims since I have this car. The reason why I love this much is simply because it has never failed me in any occasion since I bought it. A while ago I sold the car, but since I couldn’t be without her love, I bought the car back. And still I find myself with the same comfortable drive. I have fitted Maxtrak coilovers with a 8.25j Volk Racing 15” rim wrapped between 175/50/15 tyres. The interior has been re-upholstered recently and now I’m keen on doing many more. Come one, you know there is no ending in a passion. This is why I don’t know what to say regarding this car’s future, as there is so much to do with this never-ending passion.

Mzwandile Dube


MZWANDILE DUBE Hello readers. Once again I am grateful to get another chance at a feature in this awesome magazine & since this time it’s all about Polo’s vannie Kaap. Lol. I will also tell you a little about my Polo & showcase a few images of it. The name is Mzwandile Dube, currently residing in the Kaap & I am a proud Polo Driver. My love for cars is basically something that I inherited from my family - father & brothers & was also highly influenced by the township I grew up in in Richardsbay (KZN). Enough about me... The highlight of my story is this Polo. It has been a Project that my brother and I have been working on since 2015 when it was bought. A lot of work has been put into the car already - a few mods to mention would be: 17” BBS mags, 8000k HID kits (fogs & headlights), Exhaust system, Cupra lip, Rear spoiler, Lowering kit, Leather interior, and guess what… the list goes on & on. It is pretty simple but definitely a rare sight to see since majority of people don’t expect to see a modified Polo “Sedan.” While others may see it as complete there is still more work needed to be done like fitting a sunroof etc. I love & admire all the Polo’s which I see on the roads on a daily as I drive to campus & back home. I pretty much get my inspiration from other Polo owners around the Kaap. I am very grateful for another chance at the magazine - hoping to receive yet another one featuring a other car though next time.

CAPE

STREETS

All the happenings in and around Cape Town on one place.

Events are one of the things that keep our team very busy. We provide a photography, media and marketing service to various stakeholders within the Cape Car Scene. We were recently involved in a show hosted by Team Honda Helderberg where they came together to give back to the community in a big way. Charity is at the heart of what we do as a car fraternity and we as a team are always ready to support such initiatives.

We were pleasantly surprised when we heard that this event was going to take place in Somerset West, a place that does not often see the Cape Car Scene come together. We initially thought that car enthusiasts might be hesitant to drive out so far but this was indeed not the case. When we arrived at the venue, we could immediately notice the level of support. The field was filled with cars and not only Hondas. People came from as far as Mitchells Plain and surrounding areas to support this great cause. We must admit that this was a well planned out and well executed event. It was one of those events that makes you appreciate the time and effort that goes into pulling off an event of this magnitude. Like with any other event, there were a few things that did not go according to plan but of course the impact was minimal and people really enjoyed themselves. The program was executed very well and the judges were on point. All the decisions that were made on the day was carefully considered and there was fairness throughout. There were food stalls and a DJ that kept

the crowd fed and entertained and the Cape Car Scene made sure that there were enough cars for us petrol heads to drool over. Well done to the team that worked so hard to make this event a success. It truly was a great event and it ended off on a brilliant note with one of the members proposing to his now fiancé. Charity is something that we live for and that fact that we can make such a small contribution to change the lives of others, is always heartwarming. We look forward to future events that will be hosted by Team Honda Helderberg and Movere will always be ready to bring you all the information and coverage of such events.

Cape Town welcomes new movement to the mother city in order to build a bridge between Cape Town and the rest of the country.

On Sunday, September 10th, the stance enthusiasts of Cape Town gathered at McDonalds N1 City to welcome a new brand into the mother city – Slammed SA.

A simple idea that originated in Durban by a gentleman named Pooversen Gounden. The idea was to simply have pictures taken which are dedicated to the automotive scene of Durban. During the course of a few months, and with the help of fellow passionate enthusiasts, tags began to make their rounds in Durban. Slowly but surely this grew into what we now know as Slammed SA. Slammed SA is now an official movement that gathers stance-heads from all over South Africa, and even abroad. The aim is to have your vehicles pictures circulating on social media under the Slammed SA brand. This allows for you to grow and meet more folks who share the same passion. Being a movement holds a lot of positive perks not only to Slammed SA, but to those who dearly wish to join, as the criteria doesn’t have a lot of restriction. This also makes it easier to build this bridge between Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg and the rest of the country. But to have more information on that, simply head on over to Facebook, punch in Slammed SA, and assert yourself with more information right there.

As the sun had to set over Cape Town, the parking lot with filled with many who found themselves interested. As result, we will start seeing cars tagged Slammed SA right here in Cape Town very soon.

Cape Town’s Team Dub Auto Fest rocks everyone’s socks off with the second last show for 2017.

As we move closer to the end of the year, the Dub fanatics are preparing themselves for the annual gigantic Dub Auto Fest. To give a little preview of what will be available from the show later this year, the Grand Auto Spring car show was one not to be missed.

Coming into Thornton on Saturday, September 30th, one was captivated by the live excitement and energy you could feel as you came closer to Thornton Primary, where the show was held. Luckily for me, I was greeted and welcomed by one of the team members, Joe Klein at the gate. Moving along the pathway to where all the activities happening, one had the aroma of a recently cleaned and polished car in the air, as the oaks were doing their polishing just before the judges circled the field. A schoolyard filled with cars from corner to corner. Believe me if I said your mind would have been blown with a number of cars you saw parked on any given side of the school.

There was a specific moment as I was gazing across the field. My eyes came across two girls walking with their dad, approximately ages 4 and 8. The little 4-year-old had their father carry her around – of course, she is his little queen. What captivated me the most was her use of language. Her jargon was that of a petrol enthusiast. She was able to identify individuals, certain cars and categories on what was actually happening. I found this

intriguing for the mere fact that this was an indication of her parents handing down a passion that they share. One in which she has fully engaged herself – for a little girl her age. This actually reminds me of the Afrikaans idiomatic expression, “buig die boompie terwyl dit jonk is.” The playgrounds kept the toddlers happy. The venders kept your tummy in working order while the Sound-off shook it all loose again. Limbo was scrapping, teams we racing and everyone had lots of fun. The show was opened to all makes and models of cars that were able to enter Sound-off, Show & Shine, Limbo or unite together for club display. The participating teams and members gathered around the team’s stage as Shamiela Kader assisted Joe Klein with the prizes for those who have won prizes, after which they had the opportunity to pose for a picture with Hoosain Kader.

Tension filled up the air as names were called out for each respective segment and category of the show. A few times the question was asked on who would be walking away with a prize from a specific category, and it seems that the crowed had their judgement on point – at certain times. Even I found myself “out of focus” at times. This was an event well executed although I could see the worry on the face of the organizers as their main priority was to make the event go down as smoothly as possible. But a word to them.

Thank you for the all the hard effort and countless hours that have been placed not only this show but the shows which are to come later this year. All the best of luck with the Dub Fest as we know it’s going to be another one not to be missed.

Car show season has started and of course it started with a bang in the Mother City. Our team has the privilege of being part of most of the events and we most certainly were not going to miss this one. Last year we spent a brief period at the very first one but this year we made sure that we attended the show for the entire day. We are at a loss for words when it comes to how great this event was, from the planning that went into it and most certainly the execution.

Opel Squad Ltd, a local car club with such a dynamic team, did it again. Despite difficult circumstances, disappointments and stressful moments, they managed to pull off a show that tops the first one over and over. The first thing that we noticed as we entered the event was their choice of venue. What a perfect venue this was offering the crowd so much more that we would usually find at car shows. The security was on point, friendly and very professional. Small things like the access bands, parking allocations and venue set up was executed very well. As to be expected, as you entered the venue, the first group of cars that was visible was that of OSL and this was indeed a welcoming sight. As we parked our cars, we were welcomed with a joyful cheer by the wellknown founder of OSL, Lee-Anne Barrows. She is such a beautiful soul and we can definitely see why her club is doing so well. Not only does she provide phenomenal guidance but she also makes sure that the people who are acquainted with her or the crew, feels that welcoming tone at any event. The teamwork of this team is on a different level and one can immediately

see that there is a structure in place which everyone is aware of. There was no falling over feet or looking for Lee-Anne. Whenever something was questioned or needed to be done, there was a team member to assist regardless of who it is. We need to commend OSL for this.

The event of course offered various activity and categories to enter which is always refreshing. What OSL did differently this year was to add club activities that promoted the participation of attending clubs in various games. This was so much fun because it allowed for the leaders of those clubs to really stretch their members and test their team dynamic. I think that the highlight of the day was Opel Maniacs car club that really exposed their fun side to the crowd when they made the club activities so interesting. This was really a nice touch and it literally brought everyone that attended, together. The show n shine, sound off and limbo judging was done very well. Everything was planned out thoroughly. They even provided every entrant with a program of how the day will look like so that everyone knows exactly what will be happening when. There were food vendors that offered a wide variety of goodies on the menu and I think one of the events of the day that really got people going was the rev off that took place. The entire crowd pulled together around the various cars and made sure that their voices were hear while cheering for the car that they thought was the best at revving. All and all, if we put this all together in a nutshell, this event was a great success and definitely an improvement on last year. A huge congratulations to the OSL team for the organizing and execution of this event. You guys should be very proud of yourself and if you weren’t there, you missed out big time!

What a great month this has been for the Movere team. We had a multitude of events that we attended and we had the privilege of covering them all. One of the highlights of our events calendar was definitely this year’s Stance Fest hosted by Grounded Nation down in Kwa-Zulu Natal. Our team was fortunate enough to attend the show and oh my.. what a great show it was indeed. We have heard quite a lot about Stance Fest and what it offers and we wanted to check it out for ourselves. Sometimes we listen to people talking about certain things and at that time it sounds nice but when you actually experience it, it doesn’t do the word of mouth justice. Well, with this show it was definitely the opposite of that. Grounded Nation, under the leadership of Dyl Welton, did such an amazing job with pulling this show together that we almost want to rate it as perfect! Not only did we get to experience what the KZN car scene is all about, but we also got to experience a totally different dynamic. Before we dive into the actual show, let us just take a moment to reflect on some things that we had noticed in the Durban car scene. First thing’s first, the people in KZN are simply super awesome. They really make you feel like you are part of a movement that is all-encompassing and inclusive of all that share the same passion. There is really no sense of wanting to be better than the next one but rather a sense of comradery and support. We could really appreciate that. It wasn’t just about the cars, but it was also about the friendships that exist and new ones that can be formed. Okay, enough about how

awesome Durban people are, let’s get down to business.

The first point on our discussion board is the weather. This was of course not the best weather for an outdoor car show seeing that it was raining most of the time however, we were so surprised to see that a little water did not stop the crowd from getting full enjoyment from the line-up. Even though it was raining, Durban has tropical weather so it was still not cold so one could deal with getting a little wet while looking at some sweet rides. Oops, that might create some vivid images in the minds of some but petrol-heads will know what we are really talking about.

The second point on our discussion board is the venue. When we first heard about the venue, we were a bit skeptical seeing that it is basically on a horse race track. When we physically saw the venue, we couldn’t stop smiling because we couldn’t wrap our heads around how perfect it was for the occasion. It made us think about how vision can be translated into perfection. The setting gave a typical Stance show feel to the event and it allowed for spectators to get the full experience of the Durban car scene. Once again, well done to Grounded Nation for choosing such a great location.

Let’s talk about the execution of the show itself. One could immediately notice how well organized and carefully planned out this event was. Everything was in the right place, at the right time. The entire Grounded Nation team knew exactly what was expected of them and the judges were on point. Even during trying times with the rain, they still made it work. The security company implemented the rules so well making sure that there is order but in the most professional way possible. This was admirable. One of the activities that we rarely get to see at car shows is the mo-

bile dyno. That mean machine attracted some great talent and it was definitely a crowd pleaser.

The cars that attended Stance Fest 2k17 was so sick though. We must admit that there are some cars that we could see has quite a lot of thought behind it. It reflected the passion of the owner for the car scene but it also showed us a little bit of their personality. It was very refreshing to see how all these guys that come from different clubs could just get along so well, regardless of car brand or looks. We get the sense that instead of diminishing they want to multiply the creativity and maximize the exposure for all that partake. This was a WOW moment for us. We don’t have enough space to mention everything that we would like to mention but all we can say is well done to everyone involved who made this event possible. It was well executed and the turnout was great! We are looking forward to the next one, which we in all likelihood will be attending again.
