What’s on this weekend

Joburg and the surrounding areas are celebrating the long weekend with a bang and these are the places you want to go to:

RapidLion Film Festival

The inaugural South African International Film Festival, also known as RapidLion, will end on 19 March. It is the first South African film festival to concentrate almost exclusively on African cinema. The festival is currently taking place at The Market Theatre – the heart of a precinct thriving with artistic expression. It is in many ways the city’s centre for the creative arts.
