Kirstenbosch Concerts 2012/2013
Here’s the line-up for the coming season of Kirstenbosch concerts. There’s something for everyone in there.

The Entertainer – 2 for 1 vouchers
You may know that when it comes to specials, vouchers and group buying, I’m a bit cynical of the actual value provided. You may have read my post on Group Buying in South Africa or my other post on What I Dislike About Restaurant Specials. One of my regular gripes is specials that are only…
