Commenting on the inspiration behind the show, May said: “2020 has been a rocky year, so we decided to end off the year in style for our Forest Hill shoppers.
A magical night with the Mzanzi Youth choir performing for the first time on ice accompanied by South African figure skaters.
She added: “It is also a day to remember as we lost Tata Nelson Mandela seven years ago on the 5th of December, so we will be honouring his legacy with a large wall for customers to leave a short message.
“Madiba also left us with the following, “It is music and dance that makes me at peace with the world” we, therefore, look forward to a celebratory night of just that!
Fans can look forward to the combination of the Mzansi Youth Choir’ stellar performance and magical moment with the figure skaters!
