Montecasino was abuzz last Thursday night with the launch of its newest, exquisite restaurant called 3Sixty Liquid Lounge.

Bonang Matheba Makes the Forbes List
It was recently announced that media personality and businesswoman, Bonang Matheba, was the only South African female to make the prestigious Forbes Magazine‘s 13 most influential artists in Africa list. The other two South Africans to make the list were Trevor Noah and DJ Sbu (Sibusiso Leope).

Nobody Puts Baby In A Corner
I finally went to see the Dirty Dancing stage play the other night at the Teatro at Montecasino, Johannesburg. Many of the good seats were sold out for a while so sitting 6 rows from the stage was a real coup and a perfect location.

Kudos to the lead actress, Bryony Whitfield. It felt like she was channeling Jennifer Grey in her performance as Frances “Baby” Houseman.
