Fancy having lunch with your favourite celebrity?

How about spending two hours with Mark Shuttleworth, Cyril Ramaphosa or Sibongile Khumalo?

You could be doing just that if yours is the highest bid for your favourite celebrity in the "Lunching For Mental Health" auction.

Twenty of South Africa's top names from the world of sport, entertainment, politics and business are up for auction, and you'll have the pleasure of their company for two hours if you're the highest bidder.

In addition you get to take four friends with you.

The auction is to support the South African Depression and Anxiety Group's work in schools to help curb the growing rate of suicide among South Africa's youth.
