Local scenes

It's truly heart-swelling to see local films being beautifully and intelligently made, proving that the SA box office has much more to offer than slapstick Schusters. The latest movie to join the flourishing Afrikaans film scene is, Johnny is nie dood nie.

In other top story news, I interview Jackie Burger of Salon 58 for part two of the Fashionably Conscious debate. Martin Myers chats to Mathew Gold ahead of his album release and Leigh Andrews gets cozy at Constantia Glen with their new winter soup menu.

We got a couple new comps for you this week; tickets to The Good Food & Wine Show, Park Acoustics and The Color Run are all up for grabs!

Happy weekend!
