Launch of the black book and opening of new hotel
Tina Chetty, Kiru Naidoo and Lulu Naidoo at the business awards function As a virgin visitor to the First National Bank KwaZulu-Natal Top Business Awards last Wednesday evening, I have to admit that the event measured up pretty well in my book.
The Great Illanga at Durban's Elangeni Hotel was the picture of stylish elegance in silver and blue - which included rather striking silver couches with matching black-and-silver cushions as the stage backdrop - which struck me as strange as I thought it was the trademark colours of a rival to the night's sponsor.
Hosted by the KZN Top Business Trust, the event marked the launch of the (commercially profitable) 12th edition of the portfolio, which is regarded as the proverbial black book of key business role-players in the province, aimed at attracting investors and entrepreneurs by publishers Lalita Dhasiar-Ventura and Grant Adlam.
