Mucking afazing competitions

Who doesn't love winning? We know Charlie Sheen does for sure and so do we! This week BizLifestyle offers you a host of opportunities to win and feel Tiger Blood-powerful.

Two tickets to each of the following events are up for grabs; the Fireball event featuring Colombian band Bomba Estéreo at the Assembly, the Outdoor Eco Adventure and Travel Expo in Joburg, the Good Food & Wine Show at the CTICC, Bovim Ballet's Private Presley at Artscape and the Chevelle concert in Cape Town!

In other news, travel editor Brian Berkman tests out two cameras while on a trip to Madagascar; the Drift Ghost HD and Olympus Tough TG2. He also visits the charming guest house; Bid Huisie in quaint Prince Albert, while Sindy Peters has a mucking afazing time checking out the two new Charly's Bakery-produced trailers at Old Mac Daddy.

Holding out for a Hero, Bonnie Tyler is set to perform in Joburg and Cape Town in August and September respectively, and Eugene Yiga reports back on the "bushveld paparazzi" production Twitch now showing at Theatre on the Bay.

In it to win it!
