Madonna concert set for Cape
June 29, 2006
By Murray Williams
A top Cape property group has pulled off a coup by persuading Madonna to perform in South Africa for the first time - at a private function.
Pam Golding Property Group says she will appear at the November launch of Pinnacle Point, a new 400ha golf estate outside Mossel Bay and covering 4km of Garden Route coastline.
The estate is marketed by Pam Golding Property Group.
Andrew Golding, the company's chief executive, said yesterday: "I can confirm that (Madonna) has confirmed (that she will be performing)."
Although international stars have flooded into South Africa since the first democratic elections in 1994, Madonna has been notable for her absence so far.
Her planned visit to the Cape has been kept secret until now
.
The estate comprises 404 residential units and 120 Cape Cod-style golf lodges built around a championship golf course designed by Peter Matcovitch.
Plot prices range from R1 million to more than R3m.
Madonna's new CD, Confessions on a Dance Floor, debuted at No 1 in 29 countries. The Confessions Tour began on May 21 in the US and is scheduled to travel the world until the finale at the Tokyo Dome at the end of September.
Pinnacle Point developers are not yet saying where the once-off concert will be staged. But the golf estate's huge multi-storey club-house is perched atop dramatic cliffs and looks like the most likely venue, along with the estate's hotel and casino complex.
Nothing takes the past away like the future!
