Guides to walk and picnic
The guiding fraternity celebrates 115 years this year, and to mark this successful milestone the Port Shepstone Teddies, Brownies, Girl Guides and Rangers collectively aim to walk 115km.
Bring the family and friends and join the Girl Guides for a walk in nature followed by a picnic.
All ages are welcome and the entrance fee is R10 per person. Funds raised go towards the conservancy.
On a different note, the teddies and brownies have been 'busy bees' selling biscuits at R30 a packet. There are five different flavours to chose from.
The girls are fundraising towards camping equipment.
Panda Jolene Evans said the support has been amazing so far, and already the girls have sold more than 500 packets of biscuits.
Elliana Olver (Brownie) and Briella Olver (Teddy) aim to sell 100 packets to get their badges. Both agree that the biscuits are delicious with the 'sprinkles' and 'choc chip' flavours being their favourite.
If you would like to support the Guides, contact Panda on 072 148 5524.

Participants geared up for Durban and Coast SPCA Kennel Sleepover
DURBAN residents Claudette Lingenfelder and Robyn Meloni are among those who will brave the night at the Durban & Coast SPCA Kennel Sleepover on Saturday, August 16, and are looking for sponsors to support their fundraising efforts. 'Yip, I'm back for my favourite, fluffiest fundraiser,' said Meloni, who will spend Saturday night at the Springfield Park premises for the third time. She said, 'For one night, I'll be swapping my cosy bed for a kennel – all in the name of raising funds for the animals in care at the SPCA Durban & Coast. You can get involved too. 'Adopt' me for the night and help me reach my target of R10 000, although I'm going to aim to match or surpass my 2024 amount of R15 000.' Lingenfelder is looking to raise a minimum of R3500 by 'spending 24 hours in a cage at the SPCA'. The passionate animal lover said, 'I'm doing this to understand a small part of what they go through. Hundreds of animals are abandoned or surrendered to shelters on a daily basis. They go from loving, warm homes to being put in a cages – and in some instances put down. 'Please help by supporting this initiative to raise funds. Every rand counts and your donation goes directly to the SPCA to help re-home these animals, cover veterinary bills (as some animals surrendered come through in terrible condition), food, shelter and rescuing animals from dangerous and neglectful situations. Help me turn one night of discomfort into a lifetime of comfort for them.'

First time sleepover guest is Durban & Coast SPCA spokesperson, Tanya Fleischer. 'I organise it every year and I like to give back in some way. I love animals and the SPCA and earlier this year I raised funds at the 10km ABSA Run Your City event in Durban. When you think that our SPCA sees more than 13 000 homeless animals through our doors each year, some abandoned, some unwanted, some living on the streets and collected, some abused, hungry, cold, frightened, this is what makes nights like this so important,' she said.

VIDEO: Local residents on sleepover mission for Durban and Coast SPCA
THREE Durban North residents are hoping to raise much-needed funds for the Durban & Coast SPCA at next weekend's Kennel Sleepover which will see residents brave the kennels at the association's Springfield Park premises overnight and be 'bailed' out to give back to animals in need. The event coincides with International Homeless Animals Day which aims to educate people about homeless and abandoned animals. Residents Saysha Till and Natalie Burne will be involved in their first sleepover while Senta Seele will be back for a fourth time. In all, 13 others will join them in the kennels at the Springfield Park premises which will be open to visitors from 16:00 to 18:00. Seele has set a fundraising target of R10 000 and explained why she got involved. 'Last year I raised R18 000 and while I would like to beat that, I've set the target at R10 000. My journey with the SPCA began when I was chairlady of the KZN Women In Business; the association was my charity that was voted in by our members. I worked so closely with them that I really saw a lot more into the heart of the SPCA and I've not looked back since then,' she said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Northglen News (@northglennews) The feeling was similar for Till, whose first pet was adopted from the SPCA. 'Our first family dog came from the SPCA and I was three years old at the time. I've always known about the incredible work they do and I feel like anyone who loves animals should support them in whatever way they can,' she said. For Burne, another first-timer of the event and current president of the Umhlanga Women Achievers (UWA), getting involved was a no-brainer as she loves animals. 'I used to rescue, and I love animals, so this was something I've been wanting to do. I have visited every year because I have friends who have participated and now I can look forward to being part of the fun while raising funds for our animals. Whenever I get the opportunity I promote the SPCA as much as I can,' she said. The Durban & Coast SPCA kennel sleepover takes place on Saturday, August 16.

Eva Longoria's celebrity tequila brand caught in legal dispute
Jack Brinkley-Cook's ride-sharing company, Rove, is embroiling Eva Longoria's tequila brand, Casa Del Sol, in a legal dispute. Rove alleges that Casa Del Sol owes R30 million (about $2 million) in overdue payments for an advertising campaign. The dispute centres around Casa Del Sol's failure to pay for advertising displays promised under a multi-year agreement, according to The Blast. Despite repeated assurances of payment, Casa Del Sol reportedly missed payments for November and December 2023, extending into January 2024. When Rove sought payment, they say they received only empty promises, forcing them to halt the advertising campaign in January this year. Rove claims substantial financial losses due to unpaid invoices and investments made to prepare for the campaign. These include costs for procuring unused vehicles, technical infrastructure, advertising materials, and hiring staff and drivers. Rove is now pursuing compensation to cover these losses, seeking a total of R30 million. Rove highlights that while Casa Del Sol was neglecting payments, the tequila brand hosted extravagant promotional events. For example, in 2023, Casa Del Sol threw a star-studded party in Aspen featuring big names such as DJ Diplo. The brand also spent heavily renting a mansion in the Hamptons for popular TikTok influencer Alix Earle and her friends. Rove's lawsuit criticises this lavish spending amid unsettled debts. Although Eva Longoria co-founded Casa Del Sol, she is not directly named as a defendant in the lawsuit. Her lawyer, Andrew Bochner, confirmed that the company is taking the matter seriously and has already started an internal investigation. He said, 'The company is currently reviewing these matters with the utmost seriousness it deserves. We are exploring all available options and intend to respond through the appropriate channels'. The outcome of this lawsuit could be a crucial lesson in accountability for celebrity-led brands seeking to expand globally. Millions are at stake and reputations lie on the line, so many will closely watch how Casa Del Sol handles these accusations.
