Warrior women

This Women's Month we're all about girl power, so it's fitting that we bring you an interview for the #WomenInBiz series with comedian Nina Hastie, a nominee in the forthcoming Savanna Comics' Choice Awards. In other news of the comedic variety, I report back on Aussie comedian Jim Jefferies recent show at GrandWest.

There will be a bevy of musical events this weekend. The ever-popular Oppikoppi invades the Northam plains, check the line-up here. While One Night in Cape Town, the Cape Town Folk 'n Acoustic Music Festival, and the Jammin' Reggae Fest will all be taking place in the Mother City. And Trey Songz touches down in Joburg and Durban.

New competition sees you stand the chance to win 2 tickets to Grietfest in Joburg!

P.S. Check all our fabulous shmodel pics from MBFWCT.

The Gallows will make your skin crawl

Daniel Dercksen

Fear The Gallows, it is the scariest film in years.
