Lord Anthony St John said at the last auction:

It is particularly pleasing to see so many leaders from the South African wine industry here tonight - without their support this auction would not be possible. The Jan Kriel Institute is a worthwhile cause indeed. It supports over 500 pupils with epilepsy and learning needs and empowers them to become supporting citizens. It is currently experiencing enormous pressures on its facilities. Your support will make a real difference to the lives of many young children in the Western Cape.”
