With spring in full motion, there are plenty of notable events on the horizon.
From food and music festivals, to film and television awards, there’s plenty of entertainment to go around.
Here are a few events to look out for:
DSTV Delicious Food and Music Festival
The annual DSTV Delicious Food and Music Festival is back again this year and it looks set to be yet another blockbuster affair.

Burna Boy Live In SA
This time last year, Burna Boy was headlining one of the most memorable iterations of DSTV Delicious in recent memory.
This time around, he’ll be hosting his very own headline show on the very same day as DSTV Delicious at FNB Stadium. Coincidence? I think not.

Trevor Noah Live in South Africa
Despite finding himself in the middle of a media firestorm around the controversial 5-minute SA Tourism advert that he’s refuted, Trevor Noah doesn’t seem to be bothered.
Why would he when he’s in the middle of a hugely popular and lucrative world tour?
Before he jets off to India for yet another sold-out show in Bengaluru, Noah is set to wrap up his 12-show South African tour with a few more shows in Pretoria this week.
