Mothers, whether long-time, new or expecting, can gear up to celebrate themselves and the most forgiving meal of the day: brunch, hosted in style by Elana Afrika-Bredenkamp and a collection of guest speakers this October. The inaugural Elana Afrika’s Baby Brunch is set to be a morning of pampering, sharing of knowledge and inspiration.

Guest speakers include renowned sexologist Dr Eve, and authors of Weaning Sense, Meg Faure and Kath Megaw. There will also be a food preparation demonstration by Expresso host and Eat Out critic Zola Nene. Those attending can look forward to a fabulous brunch, goodie bags and an opportunity for networking with other moms.

The event is very close to Elana’s heart: “There are many opportunities out there for moms to talk about nappies and breastfeeding – this is not one of those mornings! Rather, this event is about how to look after yourself and manage your life. I remember what it was like when my babies just arrived.” The brunch will be an opportunity for mothers to bond over their shared experiences, unite and even hold hands.

Elana Afrika’s Baby Brunch will be held on 21 October on the stylish Nasdak roof at the Media24 Centre in Cape Town. Registration will kick off at 9am and tickets are available for R270 each via Web Tickets.
