This month Bizcommunity focusses on profiling and praising our young local entrepreneurs, creatives and general all-round go-getters. We kick things off with an in-depth interview with Instagrammer extraordinaire Gareth Pon.

In other top story news: a flurry of international announcements have been made; and UB40, Kongos and the Blue Man Group are all set to tour our shores. We also review Western Cape boutique hotels Old Mac Daddy and Le Quartier Français.

We've got two new competitions for you this week: tickets to All Bairre's show in partnership with the Zip Zap Circus and Jack Parow at Assembly are both up for grabs!
