Events in Kariega
Kariega, formerly Uitenhage, is a factory town built around the motor industry, so many of its events are company-driven: year-end functions, long-service awards, team days and training sessions at hotels, sports clubs and large halls. Families in KwaNobuhle, Rosedale and Despatch hold weddings, funerals, unveilings and birthday parties in community halls, church grounds and backyards, often under hired tents with several hundred chairs. Summers are hot and dry with strong coastal winds, and winter nights can be bitterly cold.
