How are you going to welcome in Spring?
Spring Day is just around the corner!
In South Africa, we recognise the 1st of September as the first day of spring, though climatologically the actual start of spring is only on the 23rd of September.

They may not be the most interesting places in South Africa but they certainly have the most interesting names. Just as SA is a colourful, quirky place, filled with diverse and quirky people so are some of the towns out there! Here are some of the funniest and strangest town names we could find:

Do something different this Women’s Day
Little known fact, we celebrate Women’s Day on the 9th of August in South Africa to commemorate when women marched together against the pass laws in 1956. In the bigger picture, Women’s Day celebrates the role women have played in building South Africa.
