Festival fever We're spoilt for choice my friends, this weekend sees the Cape Town International Jazz Festival, the Tea Party Festival, Rise and Shine Festival, Project Maboneng, Drumbeat Festival, the One Direction concerts and the Mercedes-Benz Bokeh South African International Fashion Film Festival all taking place. Shew, it was exhausting just typing that out - no one can say that there is a shortage of amazing events in our diverse Mzanzi. In other top story news, the SAFTA Award winners are announced, Eugene Yiga reports back on the Fleur Du Cap Awards and I test out the new Volare at Peddlars and Co. Two new competitions see you stand the chance to win tickets to the Freedom Festival featuring The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Skillet and many more, and to last Kirstenbosch concert of the season featuring Jeremy Loops. Happy weekend, whichever path you choose! Ruth Cooper, Lifestyle Co-editor & Production Manager (@Biz_Lounge)
