Launch of African Mayoral Programme

The AMALI City Leadership Programme annually provides 20 city leaders from across 11 African countries with exclusive, tailored support to hone their visions for their cities. The programme is a partnership between the African Centre for Cities (ACC) and Big Win Philanthropy. The programme began with an immersive, four-day leadership Forum at the University of Cape Town. Farm Design Events was responsible for four social events during the four days.

Each of the tables accented one of AMALI’s corporate colours.
Black cutlery, crystal glassware, linen tablecloths with underlays and embroidered napkins created an elegant table setting.
Burgandy Anthuriums arranged in an Ikebana style decorated one of the tables.
Full-blown orange tulips, arranged in kenzans, beautifully reflected and amplified the lights on the table.
