Pablo’s Sandton has been the go-to for hip Joburg foodies ever since they’ve set up shop at the Insta-chic Mint Hotel. Situated at 84 Katherine Street, Sandown, Pablo Sandton is reviving brunch culture with its expansive menu that caters to a variety of tastes from a Shakshuka bowl or oven-baked granola with thick Greek yoghurt and seasonal fruit.

The menu is divided into the breakfast/brunch of Pablo Eggs-Go-Bar, and evening Pablo Sandton, which marks a return of signature dishes.

In keeping with Pablo’s ethos of family and community at its heart, the menu brims with sharing styles, mezze and small plate offerings, pizza and Middle Eastern-inspired tacos while wood-fired grills are on offer from lunch and dinner. And reflecting the care and commitment to preserving the processes for which they have garnered a loyal following, the Roux’s have retained the original master dough first created back in 2018 at Dos Manos as the base for Pablo’s scrumptious wood fire pizzas.

The Market Theatre is steaming ahead, celebrating 45 years of important storytelling and stage productions in Jozi’s arts scene The latest must-see work is Rose, is a dense and painfully relevant play that recounts a personal confession of an extraordinary woman in her remembering all the brilliant and tragic elements of a life lived to the full. Three husbands and a hippy lover later and experiments with memory and magic this is the story of a survivor.

This powerful one-woman tour-de-force staging by Martin Sherman (Bent, 1979) was nominated for an Olivier when it first premiered at the National Theatre in 1999. It remains sadly relevant today as racial tensions escalate and displacement sadly is a contemporary South Africa. Malcolm Purkey conveys the story of a woman toughened by experiences but is in no way immune to empathy.

Sensitively performed by Camilla Waldman under the direction of Malcolm Purkey, and designed by Margo Snoyman with lighting by Mannie Manim, this piece of theatre promises a very moving experience.

RollEgoli Roller Rink Bryanston is a roller rink that is designed for endless hours of fun. The owner’s love for roller skating inspired RollEgoli in 2015. RollEgoli provides an open and safe place for skaters compared to down the road, passages, or parking lots.

Beginner skaters can regularly make use of skate mates. Skaters can push skate mates around the rink to provide support and confidence until the skater can skate unsupported. Rollerbladers can rent skates. The sizes range from junior size 10 up to adult size 13 including adjustable rollerblades that range from a junior size 9 to an adult 9.

In addition to the roller rink, the garden equipped with a wooden jungle gym, a trampoline, and a smoother scooter track provide an enjoyable experience for all ages.  The roller skating entry fee includes all the activities in the rink and outside in the garden. There is no time limit and no booking that is required.

Additionally, enjoy pizza from the wood-burning pizza oven or purchase cold drinks, slush puppies, gelato, hot drinks, and snacks from the restaurant.
