Of Monsters and Superheroes

This week we bring you a mixed bag of top stories. I review the wild Of Monsters and Men concert at Kirstenbosch, Charles Siboto gives his thoughts on the much debated Batman V Superman, and Parklife SA is set to entertain in Joburg this Saturday.

We have also launched a brand new feature column #WeeklyWineWrap where new contributor Anna-Bet gives her top wine news picks of the last few weeks. Cheers!

In winning news, we've got tickets to give way to Dan Patlansky's album launch in Joburg!
