You might have noticed that I’ve been creating a bit of hype around Madame Zingara, well here’s why..

On Tuesday 1 June Madame Zingara will re-open Victoria’s magnificent doors on the beautiful greens of Century City. With old and new performance artistes, this grande dame of burlesque style promises to mesmerize all who enter through her stained glass doors.

Madame Zingara will share her love and magic not only with the patrons who visit the Theatre of Dreams, but also with local communities.

Madame Zingara has always believed that with success comes responsibility and, as before, Ikamva Labantu is firmly back on board as community outreach and brand partner. “From funds raised through the Love Magic Tour we hope to faciliate the construction of a social, medical, and community centre in Khayelitsha. To this end we have created ‘eZingalethu’ a designer shanty town on the greens of Century City, to faciliate awareness for Ikamva Labantu,” says Griffin.

Ikamva Labantu, meaning ‘the Future of our Nation’ is a non-profit organisation that helps local communities become self-sufficient and sustainable through health interventions, education and skill development, food security and the building of community infrastructure.

Ishrene Davids, CEO of Ikamva Labantu, says they are delighted about Madame Zingara’s return to South Africa. “We have worked with Richard and his team for many years and have built up a great relationship and strong friendship. We have missed Madame Zingara and we’re thrilled that the team is back, ready to continue their new work.”

As the driving force behind this year’s fundraising effort, eZingalethu will have everything from cozy recess areas, gum boots for hire, pool bar, tattoo shop, hair salon to Stella’s Place, a vibrant shanty diner where visitors can devour the amazing tastes of South African township life.

“From the sounds of the penny whistyle to the jive of Lucky’s bar, there is something for everyone to enjoy. We look to bring in a bit of township buzz to our late night revellers, with break away bars, a restaurant and superb entertainment,” says Griffin. “You don’t have to watch a show in the Theatre of Dreams to enjoy the quirky hospitality of eZingalethu. We’re inviting everybody to pop in for a bit of love and magic.”

The Cape Town Love Magic tour is scheduled to run for twelve weeks only until the end of August. For more info visit www.madamezingara.com or book your tickets now by calling 021 001 3366 or email boxoffice@madamezingara.com
