The Shongweni Farmers & Craft Market This market oozes with stereotypical country charm. It’s almost mandatory to pack up the family and dog, take a sturdy basket and arrive early. Treat yourself with breakfast and, from your vantage point on a hay bale, decide your method of attack. Peruse stalls at a leisurely pace as hands-on producers passionately talk you through their wares from traditional English sausages to decadent baked goods, handcrafted organic cheeses, breads a nd rustic French staples like terrines and rillettes.  You’ll also find Middle Eastern and Mediterranean specialities from baklava to falafel. If you’re shopping with a conscience you can buy organic veg or a pre-installed, irrigated system to grow your own organic vegetables. The market is open every Saturday from 6.30am to 11.30am. http://www.shongwenimarket.co.za/

Celebrating and planting trees at Mjoji Primary School In the spirit of Arbor Week, Sibaya Casino and Entertainment Kingdom volunteers joined Grade 7 learners in rolling up their sleeves and plant 20 indigenous trees at Mjoji Primary School, near Osindisweni hospital, outside Verulam. The trees, donated by Sibaya, were Grewia Occidentalis and Dovyalis Caffra, which are indigenous to KwaZulu-Natal. Arbor Week serves to generate awareness of the devastating effects of deforestation and urbanization on the environment, with the aim to encourage South Africans to do their bit to help replenish what has been lost by planting more trees. Arbor Day, a celebration of the beauty and importance of trees, was initiated by Mr. J Sterling Morton in Nebraska way back in 1872. South Africans adopted the concept in 1983 and it has since evolved into a month long awareness campaign that has the creation of a greener future at its core. “It is important to educate young South

Ster Kinekor Entertainment   Sausage Party, the first R-rated CG animated movie, is about a sausage leading a group of supermarket items on a quest to discover the truth about their existence - and what really happens when they are chosen to leave the grocery store.

All the store products aim to get out of the store – it’s their version of heaven – but one fateful day Frank overhears Honey Mustard who was has actually out of the store, who says it’s not what everyone thinks – it’s actually terrible, more akin to going to hell.
