A recent research survey revealed that 89% of households believe that quality time with loved ones is important. However, the study also highlighted that this may be a challenge due to today\u2019s busy and modern lifestyle. This inspired Lancewood\u00ae to initiate the Quality Time Pledge encouraging families to make more meaningful connections over mealtimes.<\/p>\n<p>Names you may recognise amongst those that have already taken the Pledge include Minki van der Westhuizen, Mpoomy Ledwaba, J\u2019Something and Zola Nene.<\/p>\n<p>According to Zola, \u201cThis initiative has inspired me to take the pledge. Sundays are now reserved for distraction-free, technology-free quality mealtime with the family \u2013 you know, the good old-fashioned way!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>J\u2019Something, from Mi Casa, went as far as introducing a cellphone \u2018lockbox\u2019 for mealtimes, saying \u201cAll the cellphones go into the skaftin before mealtime and then we can focus on one another. There are better things that we could be doing during our mealtime, like catching up with one another, connecting and finding out how everyone is doing and enjoying that meal together. It\u2019s a valuable thing to instil.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seems the more \u2018connected\u2019 our lives, the less connected we are to those we love. By taking the Pledge, you commit to creating more memorable quality mealtimes together. Leave the inspiration of what to cook to Lancewood\u00ae. Whether you only have 15 minutes to create a meal or wish to make something a little more challenging, we have hundreds of recipes to suit every occasion. And better yet, why not lighten the load and make the meal prep a family occasion,\u201d says Shereen Anderhold from Lancewood\u00ae.<\/p>\n<p>Take the Lancewood Quality Time\u2122 Pledge to stand a chance of winning a beautiful dining room makeover to the value of R100,000 to make those mealtime moments even more special. Additional prizes up for grabs include a R50,000 dining room set and desirable KitchenAid appliances. The competition ends at midnight on 6 November 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Visit www.lancewood.co.za for more information, follow @lancewood.co.za on Instagram or Facebook and join the conversation using #LANCEWOODQualityTime.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/south-africans-pledge-with-lancewood-for-quality-mealtime\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past two weeks, thousands of South African families have taken the Lancewood Quality Time\u2122 Pledge, committing to at least one distraction-free meal every week.
