Local talent

We're all about celebrating our local creative talent this week. We've got in-depth interviews with music stars Majozi and Gerald Clark, while the Savanna Newcomer Showcase is set to get Joburg chuckling on Sunday.

In other top story news, Anna-Bet gives props to our top Zimbabwe-born sommeliers in the #WeeklyWineWrap and Leigh Andrews celebrates Levi's 143rd birthday.

In a new competition, you stand the chance to win two tickets to Monark's Winter Tour featuring Majozi in Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town or Joburg!
