South African food and the braai go hand in hand. But there’s much more to our food culture than boerewors, chops and a fire. Our food traditions look different from one community and region to the next. Some recipes are part of the Sunday lunch routine, while others are brought out for weddings, celebrations and those occasions that call for something a little special.  Maize and sorghum have played an important role in South African cooking for generations, alongside beans, peanuts, vegetables, fruit, meat and dairy. Across the country, these everyday ingredients have been turned into dishes that reflect local tastes and customs.   So, this Heritage Month, we're putting the usual braai plate to one side for a moment and exploring some of the traditional foods that make South African cuisine so varied.

Norwood, tucked between Houghton, Orange Grove and Linksfield, is one of Johannesburg’s oldest suburbs, known for its rich character and vibrant atmosphere. Unlike many Joburg neighbourhoods which are celebrated for shopping or nightlife, Norwood is best known for its food scene, cultural heritage and welcoming community. Grant Avenue is the beating heart of Norwood, where cafes, bakeries, restaurants and independent businesses line the pedestrian-friendly high street, reflecting Norwood’s multicultural identity.  Whether it’s brunch, a long lunch or dinner with friends. Norwood delivers all the atmosphere of its neighbouring suburbs, but at a slower, more relaxed pace. Here’s everything you need to know before visiting Norwood. What is Norwood known for? Food is at the heart of Norwood’s appeal, making it one of Johannesburg’s best dining destinations. Norwood may have earned the nickname “Little Italy” thanks to the Italian community that settled here in the 1950s, but these days its dining scene reflects flavours from around the world.  Grant Avenue’s restaurant scene encompasses Norwood’s multicultural character, with everything from Middle Eastern eateries and Jewish delis to Ethiopian restaurants, Turkish cafes and beloved Italian favourites. Few streets in Johannesburg offer such a diverse mix of cuisines, all within easy walking distance. While food may draw visitors to Norwood, its tree-lined streets, heritage homes and welcoming community are just as much a part of

Diepkloof is one of Soweto’s oldest and most established suburbs. It’s where history is blended with a strong sense of community. It's also home to some of the township's best places to eat, alongside a lively nightlife that keeps the neighbourhood buzzing throughout the weekend. There’s certainly plenty to discover here. What is Diepkloof known for? Established in the late 1950s during the expansion of Soweto under apartheid, Diepkloof has grown far beyond its origins, emerging as a lively neighbourhood known for its local flavour, beloved eateries and vibrant nightlife. Today, generations of families still call Diepkloof home, while its popular restaurants and social scene continue to attract visitors from right across Johannesburg. Unlike some of Soweto’s better-known tourists hotspots, Diepkloof has an unmistakably local feel. Residential streets sit alongside busy shopping centres, neighbourhood cafes and family-run businesses that have served the community for years. Whether it’s grabbing breakfast on the go, enjoying a relaxed afternoon catching up with friends or spending the evening at the neighbourhood lounges and bars, there’s always something happening. Thanks to its central location, Diepkloof also offers easy access to the township’s best-known attractions and neighbouring suburbs. History remains woven into the fabric of Diepkloof, but the neighbourhood continues to evolve through its restaurants, cafes, nightlife and creative energy. Food is one of Diepkloof’s

Bafana Bafana’s World Cup hopes have come crashing down in the extra time minutes of their match against co-hosts Canada.  After earning a crucial draw against Czechia, Bafana Bafana headed into the final group-stage match knowing that a win would secure a place in the knockout stages. The stakes couldn’t have been higher. But it was not meant to be. Hardlines Bafana, you did us proud!  Still, the tournament showcasing the beautiful game continues. Here's where you can continue to catch all the World Cup action.

The Backstory Moo Moo puts its own spin on the traditional steakhouse, with a more relaxed, quirky and social feel. The restaurant keeps the food serious and the surroundings fun, with an interactive wine wall and cow-themed details adding to the experience.  According to their menu, the beef is AAA-grade, traceable and hand-selected, with the steaks aged and cut on site. During my visit, I was told that the Butcher’s Cut can be tailored to your preference, all the way down to preparation. While I didn’t order steak this time around, the in-house butchery gave me a good idea of how seriously Moo Moo takes its meat.  The Vibe Leather and red cords give Moo Moo a distinctive look, with wooden tables and ceilings, leather booths, large windows and hanging lights throughout.  There’s a wine installation called Moo Moo Wall of Wine to catch your eye, along with playful adages dotted around the space. During my visit, the music added to the room’s energy without competing with the conversations around me.  The service was a real highlight for me. Staff were warm, attentive and quick to respond, and they seemed just as attentive to the other tables as they were to mine.  Food and drinks The 500g ribs with chips and BBQ sauce were my choice. The portion was more than enough for one person, and the crisp chips were a good match for the ribs. If you’re dining as a group, the variation of sharing platters is a good option.  The Mzanzi Meze, Easy Grazer and Sticky Fingers platters are l

With its infectious energy, memorable songs and plenty of laughs, The Big Bad Musical is guaranteed to leave audiences smiling. Performed at Roodepoort Theatre, this clever production brings together well-known fairy-tale characters for a courtroom trial where the Big Bad Wolf takes the stand to share his side of the story in a musical packed with humour, catchy songs and unexpected twists. The production keeps its momentum throughout, making the most of its clever concept. Its brisk pacing, witty dialogue and irresistibly catchy songs make it impossible not to enjoy. The songs are one of the show’s biggest strengths, leaving me wishing there was a rewind button so I could hear them all over again. They're the kind of tunes that stay with you long after the final bow. Comedy that steals the show Comedy is where The Big Bad Musical truly shines. Its humour has broad appeal, delivering jokes that resonate with audiences of all ages without ever feeling forced. One of the show’s biggest laughs comes from one of the witnesses called to testify. She refuses to sit on an ordinary chair, insisting that she needs a tuffet (a small, low foot stool) instead, sending the courtroom into a frenzy as everyone tries to find a suitable seat. But was it the seat that mattered or the testimony!?  It’s a small but memorable moment that perfectly captures the show’s infectious sense of fun. The courtroom news reports are another inspired touch, hilariously summarising the day’s proceedings while

New month, new weekend plans. October is kicking off with lots happening around Johannesburg.  Whether you’re in the mood for live jazz, a paint-and-sip session or a food festival, there’s no shortage of things to do in the city this weekend. Put the group chat to work and start making plans. Here are a few ideas for the weekend.  Weekend weather The weather looks a little unpredictable this weekend, with sunshine one minute and clouds or rain the next. Daytime highs of around 17°C should make things fairly comfortable, although the 6°C mornings and evenings will have a definite chill to them. Pack the jacket, grab the umbrella and you should be good to go, with some sunshine still making an appearance over the weekend.  Friday Min: 6 °C Max: 17 °C Weather conditions: Sunny Saturday Min: 8 °C Max: 15 °C Weather conditions: Cloudy Sunday  Min: 8 °C Max: 14 °C Weather conditions: Rainy Johannesburg North VIVA – A Vegas Magic Show Friday 2 October, 8pm Location: Hotel Sky, Sandton Cost: R180 via Quicket Put your usual Friday plans on pause and let someone else handle the impossible for a change. VIVA – A Vegas Magic Show turns up the Vegas glamour in Sandton, with Brendon Peel and Li Lau serving up a mix of illusions, daring escapes, mind-reading and comedy. Having appeared on Britain’s Got Talent and Penn & Teller: Fool Us, the pair know their way around a magic trick or two. You won’t just be watching from your seat either, with audience participation built into the sh

Tygas, there’s good news if you were hoping to catch Tyla next year. Her Johannesburg show is moving to Pretoria, with a second date added at SunBet Arena. That means two nights of Tyla at SunBet Arena, with shows happening on 8 and 9 January 2027.  Tyla originally announced for Johannesburg as part of her A*POP World Tour. Read our original story on Tyla's Johannesburg show here.  The 9 January show was first announced for Johannesburg’s Nasrec Expo Centre. Tyla Facebook PageThe Pretty girl from Joburg said if it's nice, we do it twice! The venue change is partly down to possible Highveld thunderstorms, while fans have also been asking for a seated option, promoters Showtime Management and Anything Goes say.  The 8 January show has been added following demand from fans. This won’t be Tyla’s first time at SunBet Arena. She sold out the Pretoria venue in 2025 and will return next January with music from her latest album, A*POP.  Got your Tyla ticket? Don’t panic  If 9 January is already in your diary, your ticket is safe. Existing tickets have been transferred to SunBet Arena in the same category, so there’s no need to purchase a new one.  Fans who already bought tickets have been contacted directly with details on the venue move and any replacement tickets or refunds. Tyla Instagram pageTygaz, are you ready for A-Pop's world tour? Both Pretoria dates are now listed on Ticketmaster, where fans can buy tickets.   For either Pretoria date, head to Ticketmaster for tickets,

 For more than 20 years, Jimmy Carr has built his comedy career around dark humour, quick-fire jokes and the kind of punchlines that can catch you completely off guard. He is coming back to South Africa for the second time in as many years to make local audiences laugh, cringe a little or both. The British comedian’s most recent visit was in March 2024 when he brought his Terribly Funny tour to South Africa. Now, South African audiences can catch Carr's Laughs Funny tour in Pretoria and Cape Town next year. The Pretoria show takes place at SunBet Arena at Time Square on 13 March, with Carr heading to Grand Arena, GrandWest in Cape Town the following night. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jimmy Carr (@jimmycarr) Carr has become a regular in South Africa over the past 15 years, making this more than just another stop on the comedy circuit. He’s also built relationships with local comedians, including David Kau and Johan Vlismas, who he described as friends in an interview before his 2018 tour. In that same interview, Carr pointed to the darker side of South African comedy, where humour is often used to make sense of difficult social and economic issues. He even dropped in on Kau’s Blacks Only Comedy Show for a surprise appearance, adding another chapter to his connection with South African comedy. What kind of night is Laughs Funny shaping up to be? Carr's shows can get pretty uncomfortable, but that's also where much of the fun comes fr

This Heritage Month, Imagine Africa is bringing several of Dr Gcina Mhlophe’s stories to the People’s Theatre, including Golden Windows, Crocodile and the Monkey's Heart. Rather than following one long storyline, the production takes audiences from one Mhlophe story to the next, with each bringing new characters, a different conflict and its own lesson. Before you have too much time to settle into one, you’re off into the next. Within minutes of Imagine Africa: Our Stories Brought to Life starting, my baby brother was already giggling and singing along. I knew I was taking him to a children’s show, but I didn’t expect him to get so into it so quickly. By the time the first story got going, he was already hooked. A collection of stories The story that stuck with me most was Golden Windows. Here, Khosi Mkhonza plays a character who becomes fascinated by the big city and starts dreaming of leaving home for it. In her mind, the city is all excitement and glamour. Once she gets there, though, she discovers it isn’t quite what she imagined. The people aren’t welcoming, nobody seems interested in her and the atmosphere feels very different from what she had imagined. As the sun begins to set, she realises that her own home has those golden windows too. She just couldn’t see them while she was there. It’s a simple story, but its message comes through without ever feeling preachy. Sometimes we get so caught up in looking for something better elsewhere that we miss what’s already right

Wondering what’s on in Johannesburg this October? Expect a mix of live music, comedy, theatre, sport and family-friendly outings across the city. The month brings big international concerts, local music showcases, outdoor events and a few more laid-back options for when you don’t feel like making a whole day of it.   There’s international star power on the calendar too, with Dave and Ne-Yo heading to Johannesburg, while Back to the City celebrates its 20th anniversary with a big hip-hop line-up. If theatre and sport are more your thing, there’s Karen Zoid’s ZOID SPAWN, Big Zulu at Gold Reef City, the Soweto Derby and a Gauteng rugby clash to check out. Here’s what’s happening around Johannesburg this October. Diluted Comedy   Thursday 1 October, 7pm Location: 24 Moagi Rd, Vosloorus, Boksburg Cost: R150 - R200 via Webtickets Start October with a night of stand-up in Vosloorus as Diluted Comedy brings comedians Tsitsi, Mdu Ntuli and Summary together for an evening of laughs.

For many South Africans, Heritage Day means getting together, putting on some music, sharing a meal and celebrating the traditions that remind us where we come from. But what happens when home is thousands of kilometres away?  Relebohile Mofokeng might be far from the braai back home this Heritage Day, but he’s found another way to bring a little South Africa to Belgium. Since joining Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium, Mofokeng has been getting a taste of life abroad, but he’s still missing some of his favourite South African foods. Mofokeng recently spoke about missing South African food and craving a proper braai, the kind of meal that's a little harder to get when you're living thousands of kilometres away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Siyabuswa Retail Centre (@siyabuswaretailcentre) So, ahead of Heritage Day, Shoprite sent Mofokeng a delivery of some of the South African favourites he was missing, from maize meal and boerewors to All Gold tomato sauce, KOO baked beans and NikNaks.  It’s the kind of shopping list that could come straight from a South African kitchen. There’s maize meal to make pap, boerewors for the braai, plus the sauces, baked beans and NikNaks that make the spread feel a little more familiar.  It might not be the same as celebrating back home, but when you’re far away, a few foods you know and love can go a long way.

Looking for things to do in Johannesburg this weekend! We’ve got you! The Heritage Day long weekend gives you one more day to get out of the house, try something new and see what’s happening across Johannesburg. From a night at the theatre or a comedy show to live music, sport, food festivals and family days out, there’s a good mix of things happening around the city. Planning a family day out, meeting up with friends or simply looking for something different to do? Here are some events to add to your long-weekend plans.  Weekend weather It should be a warmer long weekend, with highs of around 25 °C during the day and cooler temperatures of about 13 °C in the mornings and evenings. Mostly cloudy skies are on the cards, with comfortable temperatures for getting out and about in Johannesburg. It might not be the sunniest forecast, but with no rain expected, the long weekend is still looking good.    Thursday Min: 13 °C Max: 24 °C Weather conditions: Cloudy Friday Min: 13 °C Max: 23 °C Weather conditions: Cloudy Saturday Min: 13 °C Max: 23 °C Weather conditions: Cloudy Sunday  Min: 15 °C Max: 25 °C Weather conditions: Cloudy Johannesburg North Standard Bank Joy of Jazz 2026 Friday 25 - Saturday 26 September, 6:30pm Location: Sandton Convention Centre Cost: R1 150 Day Pass, R2 250 Weekend Pass via Ticketmaster The Standard Bank Joy of Jazz returns to Sandton for two nights of performances, with a line-up that brings together established South African jazz artists and in

Time Out says Going into Prima Facie, I was curious about how one actor could carry an entire play and still make every character feel different.  As this was my first experience with a one-woman play, I had high expectations going in, and Danica De La Rey Jones lived up to all of them.  Watching her switch between all the characters was one of the things I enjoyed most about the production. The play follows Tessa, a lawyer whose life changes when she becomes a victim of sexual assault and has to navigate the same legal system she has spent her career working in. Jones plays Tessa and the other characters who appear throughout the story. I was most impressed by how quickly she could move from one to another. Her facial expressions are particularly effective. One second she's happy, the next she's angry, before narrating another character's actions and slipping into the role herself.  I used to act in high school, and watching Jones perform reminded me of what I enjoyed about being on stage. There were moments when I found myself missing being on stage and thinking about acting again. One woman, an entire cast  Jones has to give each character their individuality while keeping the story easy to follow all on her own. The transitions between characters are never exaggerated. A change in her voice, expression or body language is enough to make it clear that she's now playing a different role. I found myself following each change easily without experiencing any confusion. I was

Some concerts are great while you’re there, but by the time you get home, the night is already starting to feel like a memory. Scorpion Kings Live at FNB Stadium was not that kind of concert. This was the kind where you get home, scroll through your videos, watch a few clips, send them to your friends and somehow end up dancing along all over again. Even after the show ended, I still felt like I hadn’t quite left the stadium behind. On Saturday 19 September, more than 74,000 people made their way to FNB Stadium for Scorpion Kings Live, where DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small took over the biggest stadium in Africa. After last year’s showdown at Loftus Versfeld, bringing Scorpion Kings to FNB felt like the natural next step for Amapiano, a sound that grew from South African communities. Thousands of people had come together to dance, sing and celebrate the music. I missed the Loftus show last year, so I was determined not to make the same mistake twice. We kicked things off with a Scorpion Kings feast Before heading to the stadium, we stopped at RocoMamas for the Scorpion Kings King’s Feast menu. I went for the Madumane Double and the Scorpion Kings Pan, and RocoMamas definitely made sure we were well fed before the show. The Madumane Double comes with a double beef smash, chakalaka, chorizo and cheese on a brioche bun, while the Scorpion Kings Pan is a sharing feast with ribs, wings, grit balls, chicken strips, chakalaka, slaw and dipping sauces. Both meals were great, and afte

When we talk about South African heritage, we often think of food, music and language first. But look a little closer at what people wear and you’ll find just as many stories hiding there. The way people dress has always been shaped by where they live, the music they listen to and the cultures around them. Today, Johannesburg boasts various fashion boutiques, sneaker stores and local designers, but the greater province’s relationship with fashion goes back much further. Walk through the history of Gauteng and you’ll find fashion everywhere, from the carefully put-together suits of Sophiatown to pantsulas’ instantly recognisable look and skhothane's unapologetic approach to dressing.  For many communities, clothes formed part of how people expressed identity, ambition, creativity and pride. And it’s not just Johannesburg that has a fashion story to tell. Jazz, kwaito, house and amapiano have each left their mark on the way South Africans dress, giving different generations their own looks and ways of expressing themselves. Here’s a closer look at the places, communities and cultural movements that have shaped how Johannesburg dresses. Johannesburg’s Fashion District is the hub of business fashion There’s an interesting side to Johannesburg’s fashion story in the city’s inner city. Around Pritchard Street, the garment industry employed about 35 000 people at its peak in the 1930s, dropping to around 6 000 by 1982. The industry has changed, but fashion is still part of the area’

Pantry by Marble is adding Fourways to its Gauteng footprint, with a new store coming to The View.  If you’ve been following Johannesburg’s growing premium grocery scene, you’ll likely already know Pantry for its mix of quality groceries, fresh food and places to stop for something to eat.  The new Fourways store will be part of The View, a lifestyle destination bringing a mix of restaurants, cafés and lifestyle spots to the area. Pantry will be joining Tashas, Fournos Bakery, Nonna’s Italian Grill and Clay Cafe.  This won’t be your typical grocery stop either. There’s more than just groceries on the menu, with the store set to feature an in-house butchery, bespoke bakery, speciality wines, hot meals, gourmet products and an ice cream parlour.    View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pantry, fancy but easy (@pantry_jhb) The Pantry Glow-up  The idea behind Pantry is to make a food stop feel easy, whether you’re after a ready-made meal, something fresh from the bakery or a few gourmet groceries. What started in Rosebank in 2022 as a rather fancy take on the garage shop has since grown into a familiar food and grocery name across Gauteng.  Pantry has since grown beyond Rosebank, with stores in Hazelwood and Bassonia and a pop-up currently at The MARC in Sandton. For Fourways locals, Pantry will be the kind of place where you can pick up dinner, grab fresh bread or find something a little special for the weekend. And when you’re not browsing the shops

At Time Out South Africa, we make it our mission to help you find the best of your city – but this week it's hitting a bit differently. Right now, we can't do that without acknowledging that our country is living through a femicide crisis. Pretending it's not happening would be a failure of the job we've set ourselves, as local experts, to cover our cities in a real and trusted way. For many women, moving through their own city comes with a fear that should never have become normal. That fear has been brought sharply into focus in Ekurhuleni, where police are investigating the deaths of eight women whose bodies have been found over the past two months. Police are still working to establish whether the cases are connected.  Elizabeth “Tsontso” Moselakgomo, 38, is among the women being remembered, with her death particularly resonating with the running community. Moselakgomo disappeared after leaving her Kempton Park home for an afternoon run, and her body was later found in Rhodesfield. Her family positively identified her body on Monday 14 September. Since news of her death emerged, runners and communities across Gauteng have come together in her memory, holding tribute runs and walks in Kempton Park, Houghton, Sunninghill and Alexandra this week.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by East Coast Breakfast (@eastcoastbreakfast) In cities across South Africa, communities are finding ways to show their support and solidarity. This week, we're highlighti
