Unique entrepreneurship

Pierneef tights, Gangs of Ballet and Iceland's Blue Lagoon - we bring you a bountiful buffet of Lifestyle stories this week.

I interview local designer Mieke Vermeulen about her unique activewear range for #EntrepreneurMonth, while Pasqua Heard chats to Gangs of Ballet about their latest EP. Then I give my top five reasons on why you should put Breedekloof on your wine exploring itinerary and Iceland's Blue Lagoon is voted the number one destination to travel to in 2017 by Contiki.

We've got a bunch of new competitions for you this week. Tickets are up for grabs for Trash Cabaret, the Malkop Festival, Park Acoustics, the Pure and Crafted Festival and next week's Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concert featuring Jah Prayzah and the 3rd Generation Band!
