The KZN Chamber; the third largest in the PIFSA stable celebrated the Federation’s Centenary Year in style. The venue for the celebration was the new Three Cities Group’s Gateway Hotel. The date the 8th September 2011.

The Centenary year is a National Celebration since the Federation was founded in the Cape in 1911. The KZN Chamber of PIFSA has a few more years to!

The Chamber’s organizing committee which was lead by Yvette Roberts of Pro Print went to great lengths to ensure that the date of the event did not clash with any school holidays, cultural and religious events or the rugby world cup. This meant that all could attend.

A large turn-out of some 280 people enjoyed a gala dinner and were treated to great entertainment. Master of Ceremonies: Neville Pillay of East Coast Radio fame ensuring that the evening’s entertainment flowed smoothly, and husband and wife duo Aaron McIlroy and Lisa Bobbert put on a splendid comedy act. One of the guests was overheard to say that “they had put on an excellent show, and that they managed to insult everyone!”
