In it to win it

We're all about spreading the love this fine Thursday with no less than four tasty competitions currently running. Tickets to George Ezra in Cape Town, Durban or Joburg, Park Acoustics in Pretoria, Iso's Progressive Tour and Dan Patlansky's album tour in Rivonia are all up for grabs.

In other news of the winning variety, the Savanna Comics' Choice Awards winners are announced, Eugene Yiga reports on the 'Hennessy H250 Tour' and Daniel Dercksen is moved by the soulful play Cry Havoc.

Happy weekend y'all!
