*NOTICE*

# Iziko Slave Lodge is hosting an exhibition dealing with the geographical links and cultural similarities of slaves who were captured from regions around the Indian Ocean. Although abused and forced to live a barely human existence, these slaves brought with them both tangible and intangible evidence of a diverse cultural heritage which manifested itself in language, fashion, craftsmanship, cuisine and even architecture. The exhibition will take place weekdays from 10:00am till 16:30pm and on Saturdays from 10:00am to 13:00pm. Entrance fee for adults is R10 and R5 for pensioners and students. Contact (021) 481 3836.

# Make a paddleboat from a plastic bottle. Race your boat in the new water canal and see if it sinks or swims. You can have a splash at the new water exhibit at the MTN Sciencentre in Canal walk. The water exhibit is open from 9 am until 9 pm. Paddleboat workshops started on December 2 and ends today. If you miss out, don't despair: paddleboat workshops will see you in the New Year on January 7 and 14. The workshops are ideal for kids aged 8 and up.
