Holidays are here again!

We are nearly at the end of yet another year, and many companies are closing from now until the New Year. If the holidays are looming large ahead of you, and you're short of ideas for places to go and people to see, the internet is your best resource.

We've found a fantastic site that lists all the events, places and news in and around Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town and Soweto.

Just click on JhbLive, DurbanLive, CapeTownLive, or SowetoLive for all the current events in your neck of the woods! They list everything from art exhibitions to restaurants to live music events and concerts.

A couple of good things to take note of are the Bryanston Organic Market in Jo'burg, the 36th Summer Salon Exhibition in Paarl, and the 9th Annual Affordable Art Show in Durban. But there are many more places and happenings on the site - so check it out!

You can also follow them on Facebook or Twitter, and get notifications of events in your area.

And now for something completely different...
