Year of the Hair

As we high five 2016 with a hopeful fresh start attitude it's always good to reflect on the year past and learn from certain mistakes. Louise Marsland does just this with her cheeky report back on 2015, featuring man buns, glitter beards and nutscaping - mistakes aplenty #shudder.

In other top story news, Daniel Dercksen reviews 'n Pawpaw Vir My Darling, a local film that has earned R1.1 million after only five days on the film circuit! And Eugene Yiga interviews actress Bethany Dickson about her role in Singin' In the Rain.
