Looking to the long weekend Hello there Thursday, and happy short week yet again. In top news this week, Daniel Dercksen reviews charming and proudly South African Afrikaans film, Die Windpomp. I review the WellSkin clinic at the Wellness Warehouse, and Eugene Yiga reports back on lol-inducing play Joe Barber VI, now showing at the Baxter Theatre. Upcoming events to look forward to include the John Newman concert in Joburg tonight, the SA cheese festival in Stellies starting this Saturday, and the FNB Whisky Live event in Durban this Saturday and Sunday. New competition see's you stand the chance to walk (or perhaps run) away with two tickets to the Neon Run and music festival in either Cape Town or Joburg! Happy long weekend and happy Freedom Day!
