Dark and dramatic

On Monday, the dark duo that is Medicine Boy released their latest LP, we interview Lucy Kruger, one half of the band to find out more. We also review the deliciously dramatic Chef's Tasting Menu at Benguela On Main. Jarred Manasse gives his top 15 reasons to visit Vic Falls and Rocking the Daisies announces the final line-up.

Last weekend saw the wrap of the Spring/Summer Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Joburg and we share the highlights from the runway.

We've got two new giveaways this week - tickets to Park Acoustics and Woodstock SA are both up for grabs!
