Carols on the Square at Nelson Mandela Square

Carols on the Square

Even the most pious of atheists cannot resist singing along with a good Christmas carol. These festive songs have only the best connotations- of holidays, fun, presents, families and the end of a great year. This Sunday, 2 December, you have the chance to attend one of the best Christmas carol events in town as Carols on The Square is taking place at Nelson Mandela Square. Carols on the Square is presented in association with Talk Radio 702 and features several fantastic performers. These include The Symphony Choir of Johannesburg, The Johannesburg Festival Orchestra, The Mzansi Youth Choir and Idols winner Khaya Mthethwa, all under the respected baton of conductor Richard Cock. This event is the perfect way to mark the arrival                  

Sport

The Discovery 702 Walk the Talk

Discover 702 Walk the Talk

The lack of a nearby beach or mountain means that, for many citizens of Joburg, exercise is usually confined to several rushed sessions on an exercise bike, a cramped run around a squash court or hasty jog around the block. This all changes once a year as thousands take to the streets for the Discovery 702 Walk the Talk. The Discovery 702 Walk the Talk is an event like no other, shutting down many of the major routes in the city and opening them up to pedestrians. These colourful streams of festive perambulators are able to see the suburbs in a much more interesting way than the usual blur-out-of-the car window view, as they take part in this fantastic event. The event takes place on July 22nd, beginning and ending at Marks
