We have reached the end of another week – one that coincided with the end of October as well as the start of November. Even though the weather does not look promising, it’s time to relax, recoup, live your best life, and have an amazing time at these hot events during the first weekend of November.
Check out our top five things to do this weekend:
2 November: Night market pop-up
Arts on Main is headed to 44 Stanley or a fabulous night market pop-up. In addition to all the shops and restaurants staying open late, your favourite market vendors will be scattered around the centre. Enjoy and soak up the night sky on 2 November.
3 November: Miss Jozi 2018 Grand Finale
Showstopper event, the Miss Jozi Beauty Pageant returns again to crown this year’s queen at Miss Jozi 2018 Grand Finale at the Bassline in Newtown. The contestants will battle it out across three categories: casual wear, swimwear and evening gown with a message, all vying for the ultimate crown on 3 November. Tickets are available on www.webtickets.co.za from R200 – R350.
3 November: Concerning Blacks
In his first solo show in five years, Makhafula Vilakazi has curated an expression of experiences in Concerning Blacks, a complex mourning and rebellion that places the obligation on blacks to do with their condition and lives as they see fit. On 3 November, the poet will be joined by Koketso Poho and M’Afrika, Nhlanhla Ngqaqu from Iphupho L’ka Biko among others.
