A-listing

As #WomensMonth draws to a close, we interview two fearless females; Moyin Oloruntoba, founder of African youth entertainment channel, The A1, and Christine Meintjes, founder of the Pretty Blog, on their successes. We also discuss why there is shortage of female super hero merchandise.

In other top story news, David Guetta is set to headline at Ultra SA 2017 and Leigh Andrews samples the 'wild' new tasting menu at Catherina's at Steenberg.

We've also got tickets to the White Mountain Acoustic Festival in KZN up for grabs!
