Cavendish Square celebrates this year's J&B Met

In the run up to the 2012 J&B Met, being held at Kenilworth, Cape Town on 28 January, Cavendish Square is hosting events as the official shopping centre partner at the centre and at the racetrack on the day. The launch, held on late last week, took place at three restaurants, as a Gourmet Gallop. At the media launch, E News Channel's Tanya Nefdt was voted "Media Favourite", with Cape Times Fashion Forum's Charl Reineke and Good Hope FM's Carl Wastie coming in joint second place.
