Business schlebs galore help Noah, among them Tony Phillips of Barloworld, Tony Trahar, businesswoman Pulane Kingston, who is the daughter of Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang (do her and mum argue Aids over family dinners?) and Lynette Finlay, who helped organise the do - which raised R1.2-million.
The highlight of the dinner was a 60-strong choir of Gauteng Aids orphans.
Among the guests were the Kunenes, Gail Johnson (foster mother to the late Nkosi) and a Johnnic contingent led by Connie Molusi, who made a generous gesture. The choir's soloist, Khanyisa Mazimbe, 15, will receive a bursary from Gallo. This backs up speaker Deputy President Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka's belief that we must care for these children now, or there'll be no economy tomorrow.
It was disappointing, though, that in a 30-minute speech about the economy from the Democratic Alliance, at an Aids fundraiser, the A-word was never used.
The best-dressed included Wendy Luhabe in a black suit and Pulane in turquoise crochet by Marianne Fassler.
The food was interesting - it's brave to serve veal! The table decor of pink feathers was kitsch, but pretty.
