A can do website will grow township kasi parties

The new multidimensional, mobile compatible, site allows kasi owners of taverns, bars, Shisa Nyamas and carwashes to upload their business profile free of charge, advertise online, communicate with their customers and invite them to attend their events.

Create an online presence

Through the site, township business owners who do not have websites now have an opportunity to create an online presence to generate awareness and interest in their businesses. The website also offers exposure to a larger market that enjoys kasi parties to outlets that are already active on social media and have their own websites.

"It is essentially a gig guide featuring all kasi parties and events in South Africa, with many more features that aim to keep users engaged and excited," explains Alexandra Bouwer, marketing manager for Nampak Bevcan's CAN DO! brand.

Outlets are listed with their upcoming parties and attendees are able to rate venues; keeping business owners aware of what is happening in and around their outlets. By interacting on the site, young South Africans who are ready to unleash the fun are able to CANnect with one another and find the freshest and safest can-in-hand parties at township outlets around Mzansi.

The platform also allows up-and-coming musicians to upload and promote their music, helping fresh young talent to launch their careers. "The site was developed to increase aspiring artists' chances of being discovered and even potentially being booked for a performance at a CAN DO! event. Kasi outlets that are looking for artists to perform at their venues for their own private gigs are able to CANnect with these musicians on the website.
