</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Explains Colleen Goodman, Head of Retention Marketing for DStv: “We understand that on some days you may feel like something rustic, fresh and simple and on others crave a cheeseburger and fries followed by a scoop of indulgent ice-cream.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Last year’s inaugural Delicious festival was such a success that this family lifestyle event is back with a delectable bang in 2014.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The DStv Delicious International Food & Music Festival, presented in association with Castle Milk Stout, Whirlpool, Mitsubishi Motors and Kaya FM, will again lay on a lavish feast of entertainment and culinary fare, this time in the picturesque setting of the Johannesburg Botanical Gardens.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A blistering line-up of local and international music acts, further details of which will be announced soon, will provide the aural backdrop for a lazy, languid </span><span style="color: #222222;"> Saturday</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"> afternoon of family and foodie-friendly fun and good vibes.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In addition to shopping for gourmet goodies at the artisan food market, visitors can dine in style at one of the pop-up restaurants manned by South African and overseas celebrity chefs, who will be whipping up their signature dishes on site.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When they aren’t busy having a ball in the park-like surrounds of Emmarentia, children will be kept entertained in the kids’ area hosted by DStv, which will include attractions featuring Nickelodeon and Boomerang characters.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And for those who wish to treat themselves to a more exclusive festival experience, the VIP area will play host to a premium bar and a viewing deck over the main stage.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This chilled-out open-air festival attracted some 20 000 visitors to its inaugural event last October, with the combination of scrumptious food and superb music proving a sure-fire winner with the crowds.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The 2014 DStv Delicious Festival promises an even broader kaleidoscope of flavours and experiences, catering for dyed-in-the-wool gastronomes, ordinary food fanatics and those who enjoy savouring A-grade live music.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">VWV Massive is once again producing and promoting this high-end lifestyle festival. “The VWV group have been responsible for some of the biggest events in SA, most notably the FIFA 2010 World Cup opening ceremony, so you can rest assured that the price you pay to attend this world-class event will be worth every cent,” says Lloyd Cornwall, Director of VWV Massive.</span></div>

Delightful Delicious Festival

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Delicious describes everything that brings delight to one’s
life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Delicious to us is pink, fluffy
and all things sparkly. When we heard that DSTV was hosting an event that
features both food and music, two things we can’t live without in the form of
Delicious Festival it definitely brought some delight to us. What more could we
ask for right? Spending a glorious South African Summer day in the sun with
good food, good music and amazing people is an opportunity anyone would be
stupid to pass up and here is our little take of the very tasty festival this
past weekend.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjagrjyDbFvYoOXdkG7h0mUeCZ5CDBNQRN9R5AoNVUlhy4q7d02gATjewGdyH7_Mk-XV-GafT_9N9cLLPehvjw3n_iMysVkowOyCh7N38P1HOYy5vjJ6nL4yE9bXdA1K1SIAUIznlTtpfM/s1600/20131006_151620.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjagrjyDbFvYoOXdkG7h0mUeCZ5CDBNQRN9R5AoNVUlhy4q7d02gATjewGdyH7_Mk-XV-GafT_9N9cLLPehvjw3n_iMysVkowOyCh7N38P1HOYy5vjJ6nL4yE9bXdA1K1SIAUIznlTtpfM/s400/20131006_151620.jpg" width="225" /></a>The perfect South African summer Sunday saw us head to the
Blue Hills Equestrian Estate, the venue for Delicious festival. We made our way
to the VIP parking which was a breeze and headed straight for the buzzing Food
market. We browsed our way through the numerous food stalls (all of which were
busy busy), where we were confronted with an abundance of yummy goodies from
cute little gourmet burgers, to Paella, to waffles, to delicious smoothies and
a whole lot more. We had a hard time deciding what to try and now we definitely
know where the extra killo’s we gained came from.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After we got some snacks we browsed the cute little pop up
Ocean Basket restaurant and the DSTV stand where we watched a cook off between
Mastercheff finalists and…we enjoyed a little chill time on the grass where we
were just in time for a performance by the Soulful Lira. We have to say Lira
looked fantastic in her yellow and black polka dot dress accentuated with a
dash of pink- perfect for the occasion. Her performance was divine and she had
the crowed eating out of her hands as she wooed them with her emotion filled
vocals and impressive dance moves. All we saw were happy faces as the energy
filled crowd sang and danced along to Lira. A true star talent, Lira definitely
proves that dynamite comes in small packages. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYRu4k6yV46WDVJ45nRrT3EcSs3MCpQ1YtLoKB08W9L8GyAeyUNHYpjp0tAjmjVcZPwNHpzrnzitSNyOo12RICas01r_gTsIj6Ba_HUVzW2thhsQnAv-wG4muP59AqrRNXUMHNuBU3CrU/s1600/20131006_164258.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYRu4k6yV46WDVJ45nRrT3EcSs3MCpQ1YtLoKB08W9L8GyAeyUNHYpjp0tAjmjVcZPwNHpzrnzitSNyOo12RICas01r_gTsIj6Ba_HUVzW2thhsQnAv-wG4muP59AqrRNXUMHNuBU3CrU/s320/20131006_164258.jpg" width="320" /></a>Lira handed the MIC over to another South African talent the
handsome Danny K. Danny had all the ladies and even some guys mesmerized and we
can’t say if it was due to his seductive singing or his good looksJ. He charmed
the crowed with his vibey, upbeat performance where he sang new tracks from his
album as well as edgy little mashups of his own tracks with hits from Daft Punk
and Kanye West. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After Danny K it was time for South Africa’s most loved band
Mi Casa. Mi Casa’s performance as always was impeccable. They all looked
adorable in black pants, white shirts and cute little bow ties. Led by the
super gorgeous and ever so charming J’something (singer), Mi Casa are truly
capable of melting hearts and souls with their smooth music. Performing tracks
like All the Glory, La Vida, These Streets the highlight came when they
performed the most recent release Jika. The crowd absolutely went crazy as they
all did the Jika dance in unison with J’something as he sang. On a serious note
though, not only can J Something sing but he also has dance moves to match and
we could watch him all night long. We and we are sure others that were there
are more in love with Mi Casa now after their performance. Mi Casa cleared the stage for the legendary headlining act
British Band Jamiroquai.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
Seeing Jamiroquai live was a childhood dream come true. They
took to Stage just as the sun was completely set and the New moon was above. This
created the perfect ambience and setting for the legendry British Band.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Jamiroquai was everything we hoped for it to
be and a more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Jay Kay moves his legs in
a way not many do. His dance moves complimented his performance and went
together just like peanut butter and jelly. Singing a mixture of old and new
tracks Jay Kay tickled the crowds fancy and kept them dancing song after song. <o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

We had an absolutely awesome day at Delicious Festival and
cannot for the next one.</div>
