Sport
 [Corné Krige] The World Cup is always a great occasion and never seizes to amaze all rugby supporters around the world. The first two rounds were somewhat predictable with the giants of world rugby lined up against the tier-two nations, like Georgia, Namibia and Japan. Even though these teams did very well against their far superior opposition, the outcomes were somewhat predictable. Read more >>
Travel
 [Amanda Loudon] How's this for a holiday with a difference... Barging on the historic Canal du Midi offers the ideal holiday experience: fresh air, fun and a pace that allows you to savour the delights of the French countryside. Read more >>
 [Brian Berkman: contributing editor, travel] With top-end hotels haemorrhaging bookings as the global financial crisis takes ever stronger hold, Inspirational Places - a portfolio of luxury boutique hotels and guest lodges and The Shamwari group are fighting back. Read more >>
Wellness
 [Alan Hughes] What better way to spend a drizzly, windy, Cape Town "Spring" Sunday, than to go to explore the "Look & Feel Good Expo", indoors at the CTICC? While it may have been grey and damp outside, it was warm, colourful and sparkly inside, with a cacophony of traders vying for attention and business. Read more >>
Music
 Tori Amos will be performing in Joburg on Saturday, 12 and Sunday, 13 November at the Theatre of Marcellus, Emperors Casino, and on Thursday, 17 November, 2011, at the Grand Arena, GrandWest Casino, as part of her international Night of Hunters tour. Read more >>
 [Sindy Peters] Laurie Levine's Six Winters can be compared to an undulating landscape that takes you on an exciting aural journey complete with cheerful climbs and soul-stirring descents, and hardly any plains for you to catch your breath. You won't find any country / folk in my music collection; I've never made a connection with the genre, until now that is. Read more >>
 [Ruth Cooper] "Music stole my heart, you made me tear my whole world apart, This my love is a break-up letter ... Music, this is goodbye," sings Jeremy on track 9; Music Stole My Heart. Seems like that heady music love affair is over for The Dirty Skirts. Hinted as being their last album, "Lost In The Fall" is an ellipsis on the possible end of the band's career. The 12 tracks reflect this; an apocalyptic sentiment prevails throughout; forecasting an ultimate and final destiny for the band and on a much larger, vaguer scale, the world. Read more >>
Theatre
 [Debbie Hathway] Jazzart Dance Theatre's end-of-year season, Waiting for Rain, celebrates the culmination of its trainees' three-year Young Adult Training and Job Creation Programme at Artscape Theatre, Cape Town until 22 September. Read more >>
 [Jordan Scott] We often sit and worry about money issues; how will we pay it back, how will we get it and at what point all of this needs to happen. However, we don't often talk about it, nor have a good belly laugh on the account of our bank accounts. Yet, Mr Taylor gives you an hour-and-a-half of "funny money" and you do laugh at your own money issues and, admittedly, those of others. Even Helen Zille was there laughing along with us.

 [Johann Smith] The lights dim, the chandelier loses its diamond flicker, faces fade, shadows merge and the room turns black. Everyone becomes silent. A growing anticipation can be felt from the seats, behind the curtain and from the sound guy behind me. Eventually, the heavy curtain lifts, and unveils glowing orange and red colours illuminated by a bright neon bulb on the ceiling... Read more >>

Transport
The controversial R10-billion Winelands toll road in the Western Cape will go ahead despite widespread objections to its development.
