A Temporary Setback: Event Postponement and Reactions

The long-awaited 2023 Paws on the Promenade event hosted by Mdzananda Animal Clinic, initially planned for the coming Sunday, has been delayed due to a technical problem with the venue. In collaboration with Vondi’s Holistic Pet Nutrition, the clinic had organized the sixth Paws on the Promenade, an event expected to feature over 300 four-legged participants walking along the Sea Point Promenade.

Marcelle du Plessis, Mdzananda’s fundraising and communications executive, announced the tough decision and expressed her dismay. This postponement presents a difficult situation for the clinic, which had hoped to resurrect the annual fundraiser after a two-year break caused by the pandemic.

Despite this unfortunate hurdle, Paws on the Promenade has thrived since its launch in 2016, uniting furry friends and animal lovers for a common cause: helping animals in need. Remaining optimistic, du Plessis says that they have already started planning next year’s event.

For those who have already bought tickets, their tickets will be valid for the rescheduled event. As a token of appreciation, ticket holders can retrieve a complimentary goodie bag from Vondi’s Holistic Pet Nutrition by visiting their store on Saturday, 28 October, located at 59 Regent Road, Sea Point. Refund instructions have also been sent to ticket holders by Quicket.

Mdzananda Animal Clinic has apologized for any inconvenience resulting from the postponement and expressed gratitude for the unwavering support from their community. As they eagerly anticipate the rescheduled event, their commitment and passion for assisting animals in need remain strong.

The Impact: Helping Animals and Fostering Collaboration

In its relatively brief existence, Paws on the Promenade has already made a considerable difference in the lives of many animals. The combined efforts of Mdzananda Animal Clinic, Vondi’s Holistic Pet Nutrition, and the hundreds of yearly participants have transformed the event into a symbol of hope for vulnerable animals in the area.

Mdzananda Animal Clinic’s unwavering dedication to its cause is evident in their wide array of services, from offering sterilization and vaccinations to treating diseases and injuries. The clinic also plays a crucial role in promoting responsible pet ownership and the importance of caring for our animal companions.

Vondi’s Holistic Pet Nutrition, a vital partner in the Paws on the Promenade events, shares Mdzananda’s enthusiasm for animal welfare. The company advocates for natural and healthy ingredients in pet food, and their commitment to holistic pet care coincides with the clinic’s vision for a better future for animals.
