Mandela Rhodes Place Launched in Grand Style The stylish launch of eagerly anticipated Mandela Rhodes Place took place on 20th November 2006 and was attended by over 650 guests including Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, Executive Mayor Helen Zille and Jakes Gerwel (Mandela Rhodes Foundation Chairperson), who, along with Eurocape Chairman Frank Gormley, formally opened Eurocape’s flagship development. Guests eagerly made their way into the cultural and historic heart of Cape Town. Welcomed by the sounds of the delightful Qingqa school children’s’ choir in the central atrium, guests were entertained with a dramatic heart stopping reveal of the building, which saw daring stuntmen sky walk across the atrium and bungi dive from the internal steel girders to the guests gathered below. The evening provided lots of glitz with Cape Town celebrities; Mark Lottering, Justine Drake and Paul Adams rubbing shoulders with property developers, apartment owners, investors, businessmen, and other media personalities.
