Get those dancing shoes ready for the great Vastrap Sokkie! The South African Chamber in the USA has partnered with Vastrap Sokkie to present an event “Celebrate South Africa Day” on Saturday April 23, 2022, at Studio 135 located at 135 Krog Str, Atlanta, GA. It will be a great networking event and, of course, where there is a sokkie, there will be a braai and something cold in the fridge to enjoy. There will be a few stalls with South African goodies to buy as well as various food, arts, and crafts offerings. Tickets are $20 per adult and $10 for kids under 13. The fires will be there, the slaai will be prepared and the music will be on full blast.
