Monday Smile: Joburg diners set for a 3D journey with a purpose

Johannesburg food lovers are in for a treat that mixes storytelling, technology, and heart. On 3 October, the Blueberry Hill Hotel will host an immersive dining event that goes far beyond a night out it’s an experience designed to raise funds for the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA).

A world class dining performance lands in Joburg

At the centre of the evening is Le Petit Chef, a quirky six-centimetre-tall animated character who leads guests through a six-course culinary journey. The internationally acclaimed production, “In the Footsteps of Marco Polo,” transforms tabletops into moving canvases, with 3D projections, music, and theatrical storytelling guiding each dish. It’s dining as theatre and for Joburg, it’s a rare chance to be part of a global experience that’s wowed audiences in Dubai, London, and Singapore.

Rea Seabela takes the stage

Adding a proudly South African touch, Mrs South Africa 2025 finalist Rea Seabela will host the night alongside Dinner Time Stories. Known for her advocacy and confidence-boosting work with women, Seabela’s presence gives the event a personal and local warmth.

A cause close to home

All proceeds from the evening will go towards CANSA, an organisation that has supported South African families for decades through research, awareness, and care programmes. With cancer affecting countless households across Joburg and beyond, the fundraiser carries extra weight for locals who know someone impacted.

Why it matters

Yes, it’s a fine-dining experience with world-class visuals. But for Joburg, this is also about community using creativity and food to support a cause that touches every South African family in some way. October’s dinner promises both a night to remember and a chance to make a difference.
