We wanted to let you know about a very special day of community, music and sport, to be held in memory and celebration of Craig Garrod-Smith, founder of New Frontiers Tours.
From Mark Garrod-Smith: “It gives me great solace and pride to continue my partner Craig’s legacy by supporting meaningful, uplifting, and life-changing community projects like this one.” On November 8, 2025, Mark Garrod- Smith, Uthando South Africa, GCU, Bruinchild Media & Partners, Allie and Ingram from Escape and Explore will host a special Honorary Event for Craig. The event will mark the official opening of the Woodlands Primary Soccer Pitch. The day will feature a spirited soccer match, live music, and vibrant dance performances. All who knew and cherished Craig are welcome to be part of this heartfelt celebration.
The organizers hope to raise +/- $5,000 (R80 000) to make this dream a reality – and every additional Rand will go toward bringing hope and opportunity to more children, by building more soccer pitches at schools across Cape Town.
