ZOR brings an unforgettable experience this International Men’s Day with THE GENTLEMEN’S FIRE – AN EXOTIC BRAAI EXPERIENCE, hosted in partnership with Sir Bongani Luvalo and Husband Ye Country. This special night invites modern men to slow down, gather by the flames, and reconnect with courage, compassion, and true community.
Set in the warm outdoor spaces of ZOR at Dainfern Square, the event becomes a sanctuary where smoke meets soul. Here, leaders, fathers, entrepreneurs and creators will share food, stories and honest conversations about the heart of modern manhood.
The evening features Conversations by the Fire, with powerful voices including:
Dr. Mzamo Mashito – “The Quiet Battle” on emotional healing
Andile Zulu – “The Legacy Within” on purpose, leadership, and family
Adv. Sikhakhane – “The Law of Legacy” on securing generational wealth
Bongi Mbonambi (Springboks) on unity, patriotism, and brotherhood
Mbeki Khumalo (RMB) on financial resilience and modern leadership
Guided by the warmth and insight of Sir Bongani Luvalo, the night will focus on truth, vulnerability and the quiet strength men often overlook.
Guests will enjoy The Exotic Braai Table, a fire crafted feast featuring flame seared ostrich, braai spiced crayfish, smoky dark chocolate mousse and signature cocktails like The Ember Old Fashioned.
The atmosphere blends Afro-soul, jazz, leather and fire, with reflective moments such as Letters to My Younger Self, contributing to ZOR’s Men’s Wall of Legacy.
The night ends with a candlelit toast to brotherhood, purpose, and legacy.
