From local is lekker to hyper-localisation: Township consumer trends to watch this festive season

Mongezi Mtati

Nope, not a newspaper - a Sharks fan - if their favourite team fails to climb Everest and the Currie Cup ends up on top of Table Mountain after all. Well, The Mercury article alludes to climbing mountains, so forgive us, OK? Apparently, the teams' captains have 'nailed their colours' - but the newspaper doesn't say to what... Bizcommunity.com can only guess...

To quote The Mercury: "In Western Province country the talk has been about returning the Currie Cup to the top of Table Mountain. In KZN, players have spoken about one last step to the summit of rugby's Mount Everest. So where will the grand old dame of South African rugby reside at 7pm tomorrow night? On the Drakensberg or on Table Mountain?"

Well, who knows right now...? However, we will know by 7pm tomorrow. In the meantime, take a look at The Mercury article and make up your own mind whether you'll be gazing with love and awe at the 'grand old dame' in your province or bidding her a tearful farewell as (depending on your province) she shuffles off to kick up her heels in KZN or stomp a grape or two in the Western Cape.

As for nailing one's colours to whatever - let's see who gets nailed at the end of the day - and just hope it's not a draw. Forget about climbing mountains, avid fans could be throwing themselves off one.
