A visit to the Rand Show The Rand Show has been a part of Johannesburg ever since I can remember. My earliest memory of the show is when I was around 6 years old. I went with my aunt and I was so excited when she bought me a helium balloon. But I didn’t hold […]
Exploring Johannesburg Heritage Sites I receive a lot of invitations to events, but since it takes time and effort to attend, I have to be quite selective about which ones I accept. However, when I received an invitation to explore Johannesburg during Heritage Month with a group of other South African bloggers, I knew that […]

This past Sunday, I attended the Huffington Post South Africa launch in Sandton. Although the US media giant had been live in SA for a week already, the official launch was held a week later due to the 94.7 cycle challenge – which causes havoc with the traffic. The Huffington Post launched its 17th international […]

On 12 April 1912, it embarked on its maiden voyage, setting sail from Southampton to New York, and sank […]
