Live local, love local

As Heritage Day approaches it is fitting that we bring you a particularly proudly South African newsletter this week, celebrating some of our beautiful locations as well as our amazing local talents.

Pasqua Heard interviews car guard turned singer Tresor about his inspiring musical journey. While I Q&A Das Kapital about his latest compilation album. I also give my top five activates when visiting Paarl and Wellington, while Jarred Manasse gives his 10 reasons on why you should explore the West Coast National Park this spring. Then Cari van Wky gets the scoop from Craig Rodney, man behind the @SouthAfrica Instagram account about tourism storytelling.

We've also got two new comps for you: tickets to the Coffee and Chocolate Expo plus the Men's Health Menswear Collection Fashion Show are both up for grabs!

Happy Heritage Day my chinas!
