Domestic flights and selfies with Claire Johnston

It’s not every day that you bump into a musical legend, and when you do, best you embrace the moment and snap a pic.

CN&CO’s event guru, Rikus, was on his way to Cape Town for the Suidoosterfees Ball on Saturday, and who happened to be in the seat next to him on the flight? None other than the fabulous Claire Johnston from Mango Groove!

Mango Groove are one of the most noteworthy bands to come out of South Africa and have had many a musical hit over the years that many South Africans are familiar with. We watched the band perform live at Oppikoppi not too long ago, and to say that their set was incredible would be an understatement.

Not a bad start to an exciting Suidoosterfees week ahead.
