WENTZEL APRIL APPOINTED CAPE TOWN PRIDE DIRECTOR As per IOL, Matthew van As has stepped down as the festival director. He has been replaced by Wentzel April who is an Impulse Group Cape Town committee member, a group that promotes a healthier sexual lifestyle.

I am excited to bring a new vision to Cape Town Pride. A pride that continues to strive for inclusivity, visibility, acceptance, diversity and respect, said April.
