British band The Kooks were cookin' in Cape Town and Joburg last weekend, all part of the latest #5GumExperience - a brand activation that had fans fighting servere cases of FOMO in their efforts to win tickets. Ruth Cooper travelled to the secret location in Cape Town, a film studio warehouse in Salt River, for a

Love a good history fix? Do you find really,
really old ships deeply fascinating? If you're in Cape Town, make your way down to Quay 6 at the Waterfront; you are in for a treat! The
92-year-old Sedov will be docked in the harbour until this Wednesday, 24 April - the last time she was here was in 1936, that's 77 years ago!
On a green note, do you and your company have a recycling progamme in place? No? Well there's no time like the present; this week is
Green Office Week. Dorota Boltman, divisional director of Rainbow Paper Management, explains the negative effects of industrialised paper on the environment, how recycling could benefit a business, and small steps to implementing a recycling strategy at the office.
Have a gloriously green week!
