Action pack your weekend for the whole family


Cape Town - If you're a weekender with ants in your pants this is your do-list for the next few days ahead. Go dive in the Northern Cape's Vaal river, or race through a few vineyards in the Winelands. Whatever you do, make sure  you're out and about in this beautiful weekend weather. 

The line-up we've put together for you is family-orientated, so take along the young (and old!) ones to join in the outside activities.
