Brandy, Bushman's Kloof and Boschendal

And the international artists tour announcements continue to roll in! This week saw the confirmation that classic R&B stars Brandy and Brian McKnight will be performing in SA in December!

In other top story news, Bushman's Kloof wins big at the Diners Club Winelist Awards, Leigh Andrews gives a taste of what to expect at the upcoming Say Cheese Fair and I review the winter special currently on at Boschendal in Franschhoek.

This August we also bring you interviews and features on admirable ladies for our #WomensMonth content theme, and kick things off in Lifestyle with a #WomensMonth Color Run competition!

Stay tuned for much more girl power inspiration over the month.
