Eat, Play, Love in Joburg

Joburg is boring! There is eff all to do here and I would rather be in Cape Town!

…To all who have ever said anything vaguely similar to this, STOP. RIGHT. THERE. It’s almost 2016, and there are still people who don’t know what Maboneng is or who have never been to The Cradle of HumanKind .

Say whaaaaat?

Here are your instructions on how to proceed next:

1. Be ready to step outside your bubble.
2. Be ready for the possibilities of exploring more .
3. Be ready to experience things without having it cost you a fortune .
4. Be ready for the possibilities of interacting with new people .
5. Be ready to read the list below of sources for all that this beautiful city as to offer…
