Castle Lite’s Republic Of Extra Cold officially founded

Published: January 6th, 2015

2,500 “citizens” attended the event of the festive season

The 29^th of December 2014 saw the official inauguration of Castle Lite’s The Republic of Extra Cold, as 2,500 revelers arrived on Stanley Island in Plett for the most epic summer event of the year. With their passports in hand ‘citizens’ including celebrities Poppy Ntshongwana, Rob Forbes, Lerato Kganyago, Denise Zimba, Boity, Sinazo Yolwa, and Pallance Dladla, enjoyed the unforgettable day-to-night outdoor beach experience on the intimate and exclusive island, which was transformed into the ultimate summer party paradise.

It was here, where they had the opportunity to explore and be titillated by experiences such as the Forest of Extra Cold, Lime Café @ Lands’ End, the Ice Cold Core, as well as the Lagered Harbour Bar and the Extra Cold Beach Bar. And as the sun set, the island’s new ‘citizens’ migrated to the Ice Cold Core area where their experience was taken to the next level with out of the world performances by Fresh, Goodluck, Goldfish, Ross Jack, Craig de Souza, Dino Moran, DJ Dimplez and DJ Milkshake, and an impromptu collaboration between DJ’s Kent & Euphonik. However no Republic would be able to run without its government, and being no ordinary Republic the über-talented members of “‘Pearl’iament”, Sizwe Dhlomo and DJ Warras, as well as the elected President Pearl Thusi acted as the MC’s for the unique and unforgettable experience.

“The Republic of Extra Cold was most certainly an innovative first from Castle Lite, offering adult South African’s a unique, premium, and exclusive island party experience,” explained Castle Lite’s General Manager Becky Opdyke. “There is undoubtedly a magnetic appeal to the concept, and we look forward to bringing extra cold refreshment and unlocking many more unique experiences such as this to adult consumers in the future.”
