If you’re going to be in Joburg for Halloween, City Buzz has a list of frightening and fun things for you to do.
Mystery Ghost Bus Tour
All those in search of ghosts that haunt the city, while listening to ghostly tales and legends, will love the Mystery Ghost Bus Tour. Those brave enough can gain entry to one of the city’s dark haunted rooms, a historic cemetery and into other off-the-bus stops. The bus tour doesn’t only pass the scariest places, but also a number of pubs along the way where passengers can get themselves some liquid courage.
Date: 30 October
Time: 6.30pm
Venue: Departure from Pound and Penny Pub, Sunnyside Park Hotel

Zombie Walk #9
It’s the time to dig up some willing ghouls and do the zombie shuffle this Halloween. Zombie Walk #9 will be on a Saturday this year, so drag along the entire family. There’s nothing scarier than an entire zombie family – from the old folks who need minimal make-up and practise, to the ankle biting, flesh eating little monsters. The zombie hoards will be meeting at the gates of Westpark Cemetery.
Date: 31 October
Time: 1pm
Venue: Westpark Cemetery

Halloween at Sci-Bono
The Sci-Bono Discovery Centre encourages children to get involved in science by allowing them to view various exhibitions at the centre and learn from them. During Halloween, it will be no different as they continue to encourage kids to visit the venue and dress up in their scariest attire as well. They will learn how to make lava lamps and scary sounds from household materials, so join in the scares.
Date: 31 October
Time: 9am
Venue: Sci-Bono Discovery Centre, Newtown
