The President Hotel welcomed Women's Month with a special Afternoon Tea event, partnering with the South African Guide-Dogs Association for the Blind. Guests gathered for a relaxed afternoon, aiming to connect and share experiences. Angela Blackwell, a remarkable woman, shared her inspiring story of becoming the first blind person to complete the 65 km Pondo Trail with her guide dog, Jaydee.

Her journey underscored the importance of perseverance and partnership, highlighting the vital role guide-dogs play in supporting independence and mobility. Angela raised half a million rand for the association through her Paws on the Path fundraising campaign, sponsoring the training of four future guide dogs. At The President Hotel, the event emphasized the significance of creating inclusive spaces where people can come together around meaningful causes.

The hotel, with its rich history and commitment to accessibility, continues to collaborate with local organizations, offering a variety of amenities to accommodate diverse guests, including those with pets.
